Colorado Getaway will also include various other guest speakers, including Sirius XM radio host David Gans. Gans will provide commentary on the band as well as perform.

Included in the auction will be a limited edition etching done by Jerry Garcia titled The Guys along with a series of original photographs and other artifacts. The Colorado Music Hall of Fame will be unveiling a timeline of the band that will be moved to the Trading Post at Red Rocks Amphitheater, The Hall of Fame’s headquarters.

The entire event will be catered by Pasta Jay’s, who will create a Dead inspired menu just for the reception.
