The Grateful Manifesto The grateful dead are the greatest (no pun intended) Rock band ever. Not only are they the culmination of all musical styles prior them, but they transcend all of these prior styles by intenionally taking thier audience to the root consciousness where all creativity comes from. This is the transcendent void where insight, intuition, and wisdom are manifest. This consciousness or realm is the realm of pure open mindness, pure absorbtion into the eternal here now and truth that is the creative source of all being. This realm is reached through thier improvisational journeys in their live shows, the same journeys that jazz, indian, and african musicians take in their improvisational endouvers, to the same consciousness as is described by religious mystics and quantum scientists alike.
