Monday, July 09, 2007
The Grateful Dead was dismissed for years as a footnote to pop music's Psychedelic Era. But by the time their 30-year run ended with the death of guitarist-composer Jerry Garcia, the band had morphed into one of the world's most popular tour attractions. Now they've made it to the concert hall. Lee Johnson, the composer behind "Dead Symphony No. 6: An Orchestral Tribute to the Grateful Dead" joins us to talk about the long strange trip.
