A West Coast musical institution gets honored by an East Coast institution when the New York Historical Society opens a big exhibit dedicated to the Grateful Dead in March, 2010, The Grateful Dead: Now Playing. The Dead always had a special connection with the city - the home of notoriously demanding audiences and, consequently, the scene of many of the group's most legendary concerts. Both Bob Weir and Phil Lesh plan to attend an Oct. 21 reception at the Historical Society. Weir will be in the city for shows with Ratdog, and Lesh is a part-time New York resident. Most of the items in the exhibit will come from the collection archived at the University of California-Santa Cruz (story).
