Formation and Early Years (1965–1967)
The Grateful Dead formed in 1965 in Palo Alto, California, emerging from the heart of the 1960s counterculture. Originally called the Warlocks, the band consisted of Jerry Garcia (lead guitar, vocals), Bob Weir (rhythm guitar, vocals), Ron "Pigpen" McKernan (keyboards, harmonica, vocals), Phil Lesh (bass, vocals), and Bill Kreutzmann (drums). The name "Grateful Dead" was inspired by a phrase Garcia found in a dictionary, referring to a folk tale motif of a spirit aiding a traveler. This resonated with the band’s ethos of community and exploration.

John Kelman's Best Releases of 2019
by John Kelman
Well, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome continues to be a challenge, as it has been since mid-2014. 2019 represents, in fact, the worst year when it comes to the actual number of articles written. Still, I've been finding an increasingly satisfying niche in the arena of in-depth, detailed and extensive/exhaustive (exhausting, for you as much as I!!) articles. ...
