For 30 years, Jerry Garcia played guitar and sang for the Grateful Dead, and by doing so, inspired a modern cultural phenomenon - the legions of nomadic fans that made a communal way of life out of following Jerry and the Dead - the Deadheads. "The End of the Road" began shooting just 3 months before Garcia's Death in 1995 - documenting 'life on the road' with this family of bohemian wanderers - on what would be the final tour with Jerry and the Dead. That summer the road came to an end back where it all began - in San Francisco - where thousands gathered one last time for eulogies from bandmates, friends and family at the memorial for Jerry Garcia.
