The Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics: a Web Site.
The Grateful Dead were the longest living "acid" band to come out of San Francisco's psychedelic era. Even after more than
30 years of touring, playing, recording and partying, the "boys" still enticed thousands of fans the world over to venture
out to catch a show time and time again.
