The Hollywood Reporter:
On the Fourth of July, the group turned 50 and played their penultimate concert.
America celebrated its 239th birthday yesterday. In Chicago, another American institution reached a milestone, as the Grateful Dead turned 50 and played their penultimate show as a band. The occasion brought out many tributes. A record number of people filed into Soldier Field. New York's Empire State Building rocked Dead colors.
Even President Obama took note of the occasion. The Grateful Dead played a show in support of the president's first campaign in 2008, and since they were bringing their career to a close in his hometown, it was only fitting that he offered the group praise and well-wishes.
Happy Birthday America, Happy Aniversary Dead, Thank You President Obama
Can I ask a favor? Could you help me with a little GoFundMe project? http://www.gofundme.com/...
