Grateful Dead bola americká rocková kapela založená v roku 1965 v Kalifornii, známa eklektickým štýlom spájajúcim prvky rocku, blues, jazzu, folku, country, psychedélie a gospelu. Preslávili sa improvizáciami počas živých vystúpení a oddanou fanúšikovskou základňou zvanou Deadheads.
Trojalbumové vydanie From The Mars Hotel prináša na CD remasterovanú verziu z roku 2024. Prvý disk obsahuje pôvodný štúdiový album s piesňami U.S. Blues, Scarlet Begonias a Ship of Fools, doplnené o dve bonusové demá. Druhý a tretí disk ponúkajú kompletné živé vystúpenie z 12. mája 1974 na University of Nevada v Rene, zachytávajúce skupinu v plnej improvizačnej sile s klasikami ako China Cat Sunflower, Truckin' alebo viac než dvadsaťminútovým The Other One.
Medzi stálych členov skupiny patrili Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh a Bill Kreutzmann, doplnení ďalšími hudobníkmi vrátane Mickeyho Harta a viacerých klávesistov.
