Bill Lemke captures lives of Deadheads in his new book ‘Aging Gratefully’
Throughout the 1980s, Wisconsin-based photographer Bill Lemke took hundreds of portraits of Grateful Dead concertgoers in parking lots before shows. Now, nearly four decades later, Lemke, with the help of his wife Carmen, tracked down dozens of those same subjects to once again take their photograph against the same tie-dyed backdrop.
The stunning side-by-side results will be part of a new book, "Aging Gratefully." Music journalist David Gans, one of the foremost experts of the Grateful Dead, joined the project to provide narratives about the lives of the people who appear in these images, offering a unique reflection on getting older as the band that inspired it all still plays on 60 years later.
