Harmonix, MTV Games & Eletronic Arts (EA) ved godt hvordan de skal hype deres Rock Band. Selvom det slet ikke er nødvendigt at gøre synderligt mere ud af denne supertitel, kan Harmonix i dag fortælle at hippie-rødderne heller ikke er glemt i Rock Band. Greateful Dead vil bidrage med hele 18 sange og de vil være klar den dag Rock Band er på gaden. Bandet spillede deres første syre-toner (blanding af rock, folk, bluegrass, blue, country & jazz) helt tilbage i 1965 i San Francisco. Dermed vil den nu mere end midaldrende 60’er generation også føle sig hjemme i Rock Band.


New York, NY – September 5, 2007 – Harmonix, the leading developer of music-based games, MTV Games, a division of MTV Networks within Viacom (NYSE: VIA, VIA.B), and Rhino Entertainment, a division of Warner Music Group (NYSE:WMG), announced a deal that will bring the legendary band Grateful Dead to the highly anticipated music videogame Rock Band. The iconic group is making 18 master recordings from its diverse catalog available as digitally distributed game levels following Rock Band’s release this holiday season. Among the songs available will be the classic Dead tracks “Truckin’,” “Uncle John’s Band,” “Touch of Grey,” “Sugar Magnolia,” and “Casey Jones.”
