New Jerry Garcia Web Site Features 5,000 Hours of Free Music, Plus Some Fantastic Archival Material

jerry siteA lit­tle some­thing for the Dead Heads among us. JerryGarcia.com  relaunched this past week, and boy does it deliv­er. Run by Gar­ci­a’s fam­i­ly, the new site offers great visu­al time­lines of the singer-song­writer’s life and the 26 bands he played with; a cool look at the many gui­tars he owned and loved; inter­ac­tive maps that let you fol­low 10 Grate­ful Dead tours from 1970 to 1993. You can also lis­ten to the shows them­selves, which have been archived gra­cious­ly by Archive.org — some­thing we’ve told you about before. In total, the new site will lead you to 5,000 hours of record­ed music and 3,450 shows, accord­ing to Rolling Stone. It’s a beau­ti­ful thing to see Jer­ry’s life and music being cel­e­brat­ed in such an open way.
