I found this fascinating quote today:
The fans of the Grateful Dead, some of whom followed the band from concert to concert for years, are known as “Deadheads“; they are renowned for their dedication to the band’s music.[ 1 ][ 4 ] Many fans referred to the band simply as “the Dead”.

Deadheads continue to use that nickname to refer to all versions of the band.[ 6 ]Grateful Dead, May 1977
