Editing Grateful Dead (section)

==Influence and legacy==
Grateful Dead have been called a "symbol of the [[1960s counterculture|counterculture movement of the sixties]]". Beginning in the early 1990s, a new generation of bands became inspired by the Grateful Dead's improvisational ethos and [[marketing strategy]], and began to incorporate elements of the Grateful Dead's live performances into their own shows. These include the nightly alteration of [[set list|setlists]], frequent improvisation, [[fusion (music)|the blending of genres]], and the allowance of [[Taper (concert)|taping]], which would often contribute to the development of a dedicated fanbase. Bands associated with the expansion of the [[jam band|"jam scene"]] include [[Phish]], [[The String Cheese Incident]], [[Widespread Panic]], [[Blues Traveler]], [[Moe (band)|moe.]], and the [[Disco Biscuits]]. Many of these groups began to look past the [[roots rock|American roots music]] that the Grateful Dead drew inspiration from, and incorporated elements of [[progressive rock]], [[hard rock]], and [[electronica]]. At the same time, the Internet gained popularity and provided a medium for fans to discuss these bands and their performances and download [[MP3]]s. The Grateful Dead, as well as Phish, were one of the first bands to have a [[Usenet]] newsgroup.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://www.pastemagazine.com/music/the-grateful-dead/the-everlasting-influence-of-jerry-garcia-and-the-grateful-dead |title=The Everlasting Influence of Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead |last=Cotrone |first=David |magazine=Paste Magazine |date=March 28, 2024 |access-date=January 20, 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://acousticguitar.com/acoustic-grateful-dead/ |title=How Acoustic Musicians Are Carrying Forward the Songs of the Grateful Dead |work=Acoustic Guitar |last=Rodgers |first=Jeffrey Pepper |date=June 16, 2024 |access-date=January 20, 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://flyernews.com/ae/fare-thee-well-remembering-phil-lesh-of-the-grateful-dead/11/13/2024/ |title=Fare Thee Well: Remembering Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead |work=Flyer News |last=Russell |first=Bryce |date=November 13, 2024 |access-date=January 20, 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://abc7news.com/post/remembering-phil-lesher-deadheads-descend-grateful-dead-house-san-francisco-following-death-bassist/15471552/ |title=Deadheads descend on SF's 'Grateful Dead House' following death of Phil Lesh |work=ABC 7 News |last=Campbell |first=Tara |date=October 26, 2024 |access-date=January 20, 2025}}</ref>
