The Grateful Dead

Basketball team got a miracle in 1992 thanks to the American jam band.

"Hey man, Sammy," band leader reportedly said, "I really dig your s---."

They also released a live version of "Casey Jones" from Feb. 21, 1971, at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, N.Y.

He also wrote songs with Elvis Costello, Bruce Hornsby and – perhaps most famously – Bob Dylan.

Mickey Hart recalls the meeting where band realized they “didn’t want to be cops.”

The Grateful Dead offshoot band will play 19 shows in 14 cities next summer.

When dealt with individually, these tracks stand as some of the best moments in their lengthy canon.
