Grateful Dead Sleep Stories – Details, episodes & analysis

Grateful Dead history, sourced from the books and the tapes. Each documentary takes one story (a song, a show, a person, a strange night in the band’s thirty years) and follows it through the archive: interviews, setlists, liner notes, fan-club mailings and the recordings. A companion series adds long-form talks with the writers, musicians and Deadheads who were there, or who have spent decades digging. First up: journalist Toby Rogers on the jazz underneath the Dead. New episodes weekly. Full videos and more on our website.
