Description

David G. Dodd (ed); Diana Spaulding (ed). The essays in this anthology, arranged in chronological order, add up to a full-scale history of the greatest tour band in the history of rock. From Tom Wolfe’s account of the Dead’s first performance as the Grateful Dead (at an Acid Test in 1965), to Ralph Gleason’s 1967 interview with the 24-year-old Jerry Garcia, to Mary Eisenhart’s obituary of the beloved leader of the band, these selections include not only outstanding writing on the band itself, but also superb pieces on music & pop culture generally. Fans will be fascinated by the poetry, fiction, drawings, & rare & revealing photos featured in the book, as well as the many interviews & profiles, interpretations of lyrics, & concert & record reviews.
