"The Grateful Dead's musical contributions have shaped generations of fans, and this collection truly reflects the breadth and depth of their impact on American culture."

Amassed over 40 years from band members, family, crew, and collectors, the Dark Star Palace trove was originally intended to form the core exhibit of a Grateful Dead museum—making it the ultimate dream come true for Deadheads worldwide.

  • A pair of McIntosh MC75 amps from the late 1960s, the era of Live/Dead.
  • A McIntosh MC275 stereo amplifier from the early 1970s and the legendary Europe '72 tour.
  • Several McIntosh MC2300s that formed part of the iconic 1974 "Wall of Sound" and were used into the late 1970s.
  • Phil Lesh's Original #5 Fender Dual Showman Bass Amplifier
  • Hard Truckers Speaker Cabinets
  • A wide variety of speaker setups that were used during the 1970s, including 10" and 12" cabinets, studio monitors, ESS tweeter boxes, and more.
  • 1996 Spalding "Lithuania / Lietuva" Olympic Basketball signed by Bill Walton and Lithuanian players, commemorating the Grateful Dead's support for the Lithuanian basketball team.
  • Early Replica of Jerry Garcia's "Alligator" Guitar, part of the inspiration for Fender's Custom Shop Alligator guitars.
  • Wall of Sound Diagrams & Audio Measurement Graphs signed by members of the Grateful Dead road crew.
  • 35-Foot Tie-Dyed Stage Backdrop handcrafted by the band's original tie-dye artist, Courtenay Pollock.

The Dark Star Palace collection is a museum-worthy assemblage of Grateful Dead history, spanning more than four decades of live music and cultural influence. Featuring over 8,000 items sourced directly from band members, family, crew, and collectors, it represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for fans and historians alike to explore the band's storied legacy.
