Jim
Anderson's photographs of
The
Grateful Dead |
Jim Anderson first trained his cameras on The Grateful Dead in Springfield
on June 30th 1974. And, as the Music, never stopped.
From that day, up to and beyond the last show with Jerry Garcia in Chicago
on July 9th 1995, his photos cover the spectrum
from close-ups of the Band, concert lighting & stage design, and
us Deadheads who carry the tradition.
Note: This url is becoming the landing page, or home, for Jim Anderson's Grateful Dead Photos. You may link to it now as I am keeping it up to date.
Soon the URL www.photog.com/gdead will become a index of shows, sort of a site map, and all my Dead pages and the photog.com home page will land here first. Thanks!

Seventy seven of
Jim Anderson's photos are peppered throughout Grateful
Dead The Illustrated Trip
Originally published in 2003, this book is the historic record
of the Dead scene. Many thanks & kudos to the fine folks
at DK Publishing, Maria Gibbs and Victoria Clark, who worked
long and tireless hours in its production. The Illustrated Trip
is now out of print and has become very collectable. Click on
the link and check out Amazon for used and new copies. |
This web site,
started in 1999, is always a work in progress.
Jim Anderson's archive
holds thousands of photos starting in the mid 1970's, throughout
the '80's, with ton's of lighting design shots from the '90's.
And not to forget, the 00's and now the 10's. Also, there
are lots of cool shots of the Dead scene, not just the band
and stage. What began as a fun endeavor stemming from Jim's
professional photography career, being a Deadhead and early
taper, turned into a lifelong project to document this extraordinary
cultural phenomena somewhere along the road.
Over time, a great
deal of photography was shot specifically for good friend
Candace Brightman, long time lighting designer for the Grateful
Dead. Candace has her own company, Animated
Architecture, and has done beautiful work lighting Phil
& Friends, the '96 Olympic Village,
The Dead tours in the 00's
and Widespread Panic.
