The Grateful Dead's original four members recently finished a three-night run in Chicago over the July 4 weekend to celebrate five decades of music. But the celebration isn't over yet.

The Reds will host Grateful Dead Night at Great American Ball Park on Sept. 4 to commemorate the band's 50th anniversary, the team announced Wednesday.

To honor the iconic band, the Reds developed a special ticket package for diehard fans that includes a special Reds-themed Dancing Bears item and a postgame fireworks show that will feature a soundtrack of songs from "The Best of the Grateful Dead", the band's newly released CD.

The view level section tickets are priced at $28 while the field box section tickets are $50. The Reds are slated to take on the Brewers in the first of 10-game homestand against Milwaukee, Pittsburgh and St. Louis.
