In 2003, Warner Records compiled an amazing overview of the Grateful Dead’s most memorable and fan driven favorites appropriately titled "The Very Best Of Grateful Dead". The collection featured the brilliant and sorely missed vocals and guitar musings of Jerry Garcia, the rockin’ guitar and vocals of Bob Weir, the driving bass and vocals of Phil Lesh, the powerful drums of Bill Kreuztmann, Tom Constanten and Mickey Hart, Donna Jean Godchaux on vocals, plus the sorely missed keyboard wizardry of Ron McKernan, Keith Godchaux, and Brent Mydland.

This mammoth seventeen song collection had something for everybody as it culled tracks not only from the Warner vaults, but from the Grateful Dead label and Artista Records period of the band’s output. Therefore, a good majority of the hits and definitive Dead tracks are included on this career compendium of songs which will forever stand the test of time.
