After what seemed like 10 years of e-construction, the Grateful Dead’s new website finally went live to announce the presale of Three From The Vault. Some of the great new features on the site include a message board, interviews with members of the Grateful Dead family, and killer Comix by Tim Truman. But my favorite part of the new site is the archive section, where you can search through all sorts of artwork, memorabilia and photographs.
The new site is a work in progress, but so far it seems pretty freakin’ cool. Hopefully they won’t start charging for any of the services they offer, especially the oft-pimped-on-HT Taper’s Section. Sign up now to get a heady low user number. [via Hits From The Blog] Elsewhere from the interwebs:
