Hard to believe it was fifteen years ago to the day that Jerry Garcia passed from the scene and left behind a legacy that is still as strong today as was then.

The time of Death was determined to be around 4 in the morning. The news spread quickly and by 9 am pretty much everyone who had ever heard a Grateful Dead track or went to a Grateful Dead concert heard the devastating news.

So here is a compilation of the first two hours, right after the initial "unconfirmed reports" were confirmed.

The rest is history.

Can you help us out?
