So Many Roads: A Grateful Dead Podcast

So Many Roads Podcast is a show inspired by the Grateful Dead and the endless ways their music connects us. As a longtime fan, I’ve realized there’s still so much to learn—not just about the band, but about the culture, history, and personal stories that surround it. Each episode, I’ll sit down with guests to explore their journeys, uncover new perspectives, and take a deep dive into topics I have yet to investigate. So whether you're a longtime Deadhead or are just starting to explore, join me as I learn from the people who’ve lived it. 🎶🎙️

Legacy and the Living Scene: the Grateful Dead at 60

August 19, 2025 • P.Bouley • Episode 5

In this episode of So Many Roads, I travel to San Francisco for the Grateful Dead’s 60th anniversary. From a grassroots Dead night in Berkeley to a massive pier show, Jerry Day in McLaren Park, and a visit to the Grateful Dead house, I explore the tension between legacy and the living scene. Along the way, I meet musicians, fans, and friends who are keeping the spirit alive—sometimes in intimate ways, sometimes on a grand stage.

Thanks for riding along on So Many Roads.
