American Beauty is the fifth album by the Grateful Dead, released in November 1970.

Jerry Garcia was held in high honor by Rolling Stone.  He recorded and performed throughout the Grateful Dead in full (1965 - 1995).  His death was a devastating blow to the band and to fans.  My personal favorite is "Shakedown Street."
