The oft-mythologized, metaphysical musical journey of the Grateful Dead began in 1965, and continued to sold-out crowds through the band's break-up in 1995.
At his home in Woodstock, New York, he regularly hosted the Midnight Ramble, weekly concerts that attracted sell-out crowds and all-star support from the likes of Emmylou Harris, Kris Kristofferson and Steely Dan's Donald Fagen.
