They came to fame as part of author Ken Kesey's Acid Tests, a series of multimedia happenings centered around then-legal LSD. Famed for their concerts, the band performed more than 2,300 shows over thirty years, disbanding after the death of lead guitarist Jerry

Garcia in August 1995. Although their only Top 10 hit, "Touch of Grey," charted in 1987, their popularity was based onconcerts, and in their last decade they consistently placed in the top five tours every year. Known for the range of theirrepertoire and the caliber of their compositions, the Dead's songbook has been covered by a wide range of other musicians,from Bob Dylan to Jane's Addiction. They released thirteen studio albums and nine contemporary live albums during theircareer, and more than 100 live releases since then. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994.Scope and Content of CollectionThis series contains back stage passes, tickets and laminates to Grateful Dead concerts and other concert venues.Backstage passes are usually printed fabric stickers about the size of a playing card that allowed access to a restricted areaof a venue, where journalists and guests would be entertained during a performance. Designed to be used in conjunctionwith a ticket, backstage passes could be simple abstract designs or images derived from mass media, popular culture, oreven band members' children's doodles. Unlike laminates, which tended to feature artwork commissioned specifically forthat purpose, backstage passes tended to be simpler and more casual, often more whimsical, and generally disposable.Over time, the standard rectangular shape was augmented with passes featuring a wide variety of sizes and shapes, fromcircles to triangles.Grateful Dead tickets can be grouped into several categories, roughly corresponding to era. In the 1960s, rock promoter BillGraham quickly recognized the utility of reproducing concert poster images in business card sized tickets in an effort toimpede counterfeits, usually stamped along the bottom or back with the day of the show. These tickets are the most highlyprized, collected along with handbills and posters for the concerts. In the 1980s, the band pioneered the direct sale oftickets to fans via mail order, creating tickets that often featured graphics incorporating band logos and motifs. Tickets forspecial events such as New Year's Eve were often works of art in their own right. By contrast, tickets printed at outlets suchas BASS (Bay Area Seating Service) and Ticketmaster were created with a strictly information-only template using athermal ink printing process that did not hold up well over time, with the lettering often fading quickly.Laminates are small, playing card-sized badges made of either printed cardboard sealed in plastic or printed plastic, usuallydesignating an entire tour but sometimes only a single show or run of shows at a single venue. Worn on a lanyard orclipped to outer clothing, laminates serve as identification for band, band family, crew, or touring staff, providing access tosecure areas, including backstage and performer areas. Over time, increasingly sophisticated designs intended to thwartcounterfeit efforts (nicknamed "scaminates" by enterprising fans) supplanted the simple identification badge style commonin the 1970s, giving rise to beautifully artistic efforts such as those by Timothy Truman, featured in the book Access AllAreas: Backstage with the Grateful Dead (Grateful Dead Books, 1998). The interplay between art and security producedstriking designs that incorporated cutting-edge production techniques that made successful unauthorized duplication all butimpossible. Laminates obviated the need for a ticket, unlike a backstage pass.ArrangementThe material is arranged in three sub-series: Back Stage Passes; Tickets; Laminates.

Physical Description: Approx. 1090 ticketsScope and Content SummaryGrateful Dead tickets can be grouped into several categories, roughly corresponding to era.In the 1960s, rock promoter Bill Graham quickly recognized the utility of reproducing concertposter images in business card sized tickets in an effort to impede counterfeits, usuallystamped along the bottom or back with the day of the show. These tickets are the mosthighly prized, collected along with handbills and posters for the concerts. In the 1980s, theband pioneered the direct sale of tickets to fans via mail order, creating tickets that oftenfeatured graphics incorporating band logos and motifs. Tickets for special events such asNew Year’s Eve were often works of art in their own right. By contrast, tickets printed atoutlets such as BASS (Bay Area Seating Service) and Ticketmaster were created with astrictly information-only template using a thermal ink printing process that did not hold upwell over time, with the lettering often fading quickly.ArrangementMaterial is arranged chronologically by venue.Online images may be viewed at Grateful Dead Online Archive (GDAO) beginning in June2012.

Physical Description: 38 laminatesScope and Content SummaryLaminates are small, playing card-sized badges made of either printed cardboard sealed inplastic or printed plastic, usually designating an entire tour but sometimes only a singleshow or run of shows at a single venue. Worn on a lanyard or clipped to outer clothing,laminates serve as identification for band, band family, crew, or touring staff, providingaccess to secure areas, including backstage and performer areas. Over time, increasinglysophisticated designs intended to thwart counterfeit efforts (nicknamed “scaminates” byenterprising fans) supplanted the simple identification badge style common in the 1970s,giving rise to beautifully artistic efforts such as those by Timothy Truman, featured in thebook Access All Areas: Backstage with the Grateful Dead (Grateful Dead Books, 1998). Theinterplay between art and security produced striking designs that incorporated cutting-edgeproduction techniques that made successful unauthorized duplication all but impossible.Laminates obviated the need for a ticket, unlike a backstage pass.ArrangementThis material is arranged chronologically by venue.Online images may be viewed at Grateful Dead Online Archive (GDAO) beginning in June2012.
