Grateful Dead Prepares for 60th Anniversary with 'Gratest Hits' Album Release

The Grateful Dead are marking their 60th anniversary with the release of their first official greatest hits album, titled 'Gratest Hits,' set for June 13. This compilation features nine studio classics including 'Casey Jones,' 'Friend of the Devil,' 'Box of Rain,' 'Truckin',' and their only Billboard Top 10 hit, 'Touch of Grey.' The release will be available on CD, several vinyl formats, and digitally, with exclusive colored variants offered through select retailers and Dead.net. Alongside this, the band will issue a massive 60-CD box set called 'Enjoying The Ride' on May 30, containing previously unreleased live performances from 1969 to 1994, limited to 6,000 copies. For those seeking a more concise collection, 'The Music Never Stopped,' a smaller set featuring highlights from the box, will also be released. These projects celebrate the Dead's enduring legacy and their continued influence across generations.
