"The American Beauty Project" is a special tribute concert to the
Grateful Dead's most important and best-loved albums, Working Man's
Dead and American Beauty. In January 2007, an all-star lineup of

the premier of this concert in front of an over-flowing crowd at the
World Financial Center's Winter Garden in New York City.

The New York Times' Jon Pareles wrote the concert gave "New life to a
Dead classic... and mirrored the eclecticism of the Dead," and a
Variety review said that the event brought "a back-porch feel to the

source material and reassemble the parts afresh - an approach
well-suited to the honorees' legacy."READ MORE…
