In early 2009 band that defined fan loyalty went back on tour. The surviving members of the “Jerry Garcia-less” Grateful Dead made the rounds playing as a band known as “The Dead.” The iconoclastic rockers who kept the groove alive long after the original hippies turned grey were in Albany, New York in April and played at an arena once known as the Knickerbocker, a venue near and dear to the hearts of many deadheads. I went to the show and took in the sights and sounds of the famous parking lot scene.
