The Grateful Dead were honored at the recent MusiCares benefit for their philanthropy. The event raised $9 million for MusiCares' general work and an additional $5 million for wildfire relief. The evening featured performances from Dead & Company, Vampire Weekend, Billy Strings, Maren Morris, and others. Bob Weir, accepting the award, joked about the band's lack of focus on longevity, saying their main goal was to "light folks up and spread joy through the music." Mickey Hart spoke about the power of music as a healing force and thanked the Dead's loyal fans for keeping the music alive.
