Today’s pairing may look odd until you start really listening:

The Beach Boys and The Grateful Dead.

Two California bands. Two American institutions. Two completely different ideas of what a band is for.

One built pop cathedrals in the studio and spent decades trying to bring that sound to the stage.


The other built a moving city on the road and treated the studio almost like a postcard from their real life’s work.

Let’s spend some time with both—and with the very different concert worlds they created.
