SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Twenty years after the death of legendary guitarist Jerry Garcia, the four surviving members of the Grateful Dead reunited Saturday for the first of five concerts in their "Fare Thee Well" tour.
Mashable ventured into the parking lot of Levi's Stadium to catch up with the passionate Deadheads who had converged on the Bay Area for a celebration of the Dead's 50th anniversary -- and a fond farewell to one of the most iconic bands of our era.
We asked them a simple question: What's your favorite thing about the Grateful Dead?
