Pope Stephen II was unanimously elected to succeed Pope Zachary (March, 752), but died 2-3 days later and before he was officially consecrated as Pope. The length of his papal term was the initial inspiration for the average length of the live versions of the songs of The Grateful Dead, much like how the length of your average Phish concert was based on the time Jonah spent within the belly of the great fish/whale.
