A historical exhibit on the Grateful Dead is currently on display at The New-York Historical Society.
The exhibit, called "The Grateful Dead: Now Playing at the New-York Historical Society," features Dead-related items such as photographs, T-shirts and posters, all of which were made available by the University of California at Santa Cruz's Grateful Dead Archive.
"Despite the Grateful Dead's close association with California, the band and New York have been an important part of each other's history from the first time the Dead played here in 1967 to the band's year-on-year performances in New York from the late 1970s through 1995," Dr. Louise Mirrer, the New-York Historical Society's CEO and president, said in a press release.
"This exhibition not only celebrates the band's relationship with New York but its tremendous impact on American culture," she added
The exhibit reportedly features early photographs of the Dead, musical instruments from the band - including former keyboardist Pigpen's harmonica - the skeletons used in the "Touch of Grey" music video and a notebook by archivist Dick Latvala that contains notes and a set list from a Los Angeles concert in 1978.
"The Grateful Dead: Now Playing at the New-York Historical Society" will run through July 4.
