“A new life for a Dead classic… the concert lineup, produced by David Spelman, mirrored the eclecticism of the Dead and generally recast the songs.” (THE NEW YORK TIMES) :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: “Brought something of a back-porch feel to the canyons of Gotham's financial district. The perf's real fire came courtesy of acts that like to tear open the original structures of the source material and reassemble the parts afresh -- an approach well-suited to the honorees' legacy.” (VARIETY) :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: “If you know ‘Uncle John's Band’ isn't some relative's act, this sweet-as-a-sugar-magnolia event is for you!” (THE NEW YORK POST) :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: “A dream team of performers running through the Dead’s classic 1970 studio albums in sequential order. And, though the all-star ensemble largely shied away from the Dead’s trademark jams, the cast didn’t necessarily stick to their script either, exploring the range of styles the Dead’s music encompasses.” (RELIX) :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: T-SHIRTS, CAPS, BAGS, STICKERS + other AMERICAN BEAUTY PROJECT GEAR for sale >>click here<<
