Sotheby’s announces "From The Vault: Property From The Grateful Dead And Friends" 

The auction includes stage equipment from all eras of Dead tours including surviving components from the legendary Wall of Sound, and items from crew members “Big” Steve Parish, Lawrence “Ram Rod” Shurtliff, and t-shirts from the band's longest serving sound engineer Dan Healy. From the Ken Kesey era “Acid Test” days through to the final years – a long, strange trip from counterculture icons to the definitive American band – this auction is a unique opportunity for Deadheads to celebrate the band’s enduring ethos right from the soundboard. 

We talk with Richard Austin, Sotheby’s Global Head of Books & Manuscripts, who gives us a rundown on the stage gear, roadie gear, and band gear!
