Despite the Grateful Dead’s ethos of peace and love and communal music, there is a darkness that surrounds the band. Across five decades, a string of unexplained accidents, murders and disappearances have befallen some of the band’s most dedicated fans; affectionately known as "DeadHeads." Some were last seen on their way to Grateful Dead concerts, others simply vanished or were tragically murdered while attending shows. 
Hosted by Payne Lindsey (Up and Vanished) and Jake Brennan (Disgraceland), DEAD AND GONE Season 2 dives deep into the DeadHead subculture, investigating four of these tragic unresolved cases while simultaneously navigating the career of this iconic band. A long, strange, deadly trip into the world of The Grateful Dead.

A long strange listen

Hoping for a season 3!!! I recommend this podcast to every fellow deadhead or true crime fan I meet. Please look into the murders connected to Rainbow Family Gatherings and see if there’s any connections.

Awesome show!!

As a deadhead and a true crime pod lover this checks off all the boxes for me.

Laborious & Repetitive

Allow the interviewee’s to carry this story without the narrator repeating their words in a summary.
