CHARGE HONOR ROCK ROOTS WITH GRATEFUL DEAD NIGHT
By Cleveland Charge Staff /December 17, 2024
CLEVELAND, OH – The Cleveland Charge unveiled Grateful Dead Night, presented by Nuevo to honor Public Hall’s musical history. Come down to Shakedown Street (formerly Lakeside Avenue) on Friday, January 10th at 7:00 p.m.
In true rock & roll fashion, ALL FANS will receive a Grateful Dead concert poster. And once the final buzzer sounds, fans can stick around for an exclusive post-game concert from JiMiller Band, a local, Cleveland jam band.
Charge players will be fitted in specialty tie-dye jerseys, that will be auctioned with proceeds benefitting the Cavaliers Community Foundation, but fans won’t be left out as they will be able to purchase replica tops and shorts in the Charge team shop.
The Grateful Dead played at Public Hall on three different occasions between 1972 and 1980, highlighting the rock legacy of our city. 30 years ago, when the Cavs laid their own foundation in downtown Cleveland, the Grateful Dead were immortalized in another Cleveland landmark, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
For the best value and a winter JAMMED full of fun, Dead Heads can bundle the game on January 10th into a Charge Holiday Plan presented by the Cleveland Museum of Natural History which includes any three (3) Charge games, free tickets to Disney on Ice at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, Free admission to the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, and a free Charge Knit Hat (one per seat purchased)!

ABOUT GRATEFUL DEAD
The Grateful Dead is a social and musical phenomenon that grew into a genuine American treasure. In 1965, an entire generation was linked together by common ideals, gathering by the hundreds and thousands. This movement created a seamless connection between the band and its fans. As the band toured, Dead Heads would follow. Not because it was a part of popular culture but because it is a true counterculture that exists to this very day – one that earnestly believes in the value of its beliefs. By 1995, the Grateful Dead had attracted the most concertgoers in the history of the music business, and today remains one of the all-time leaders in concert ticket sales. Eventually, the caravan evolved into a community with various artists, craftsmen and entrepreneurs supplying a growing demand for merchandise that connected them to the music. Today, the connection is as strong as ever. The band was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1994, received a GRAMMY® Lifetime Achievement Award in 2007, and won Best Licensed Brand at the 2024 Licensing International Awards. Their final tally of 2,318 total concerts remains a world record. The Grateful Dead recently celebrated their 62nd Top 40 album on the Billboard chart, a feat no other group has achieved.
