DEADHEADS PREVAIL

The Grateful Dead have managed to wow crowds yet again, 50 years after their formation and 20 years after Jerry Garcia's death.

The legendary band broke records with the five-night live broadcast of Fare Thee Well: Celebrating 50 Years of The Grateful Dead, produced by Live Alliance.

The program has become the largest syndication of a live music event in history and the biggest music Pay-Per-View event of all time, with more than 400k cable/satellite subscriptions and online streams.

The last time a music event hit the six-figure buy mark was in 1999 for a Backstreet Boys concert, which earned less than half that. We'll smoke to that... or anything, for that matter.

In other classic rock news, check out the Rhino/iHeart Led Zep extravaganza, Sony Legacy's Roger Waters projection and new solo music from Keef. It's all part of our Critics' Choice section.
