Drugs, drugs, and more drugs. One of the finer and large tomes of the Dead, the greatest touring band ever. Rare photos, concert dates, orgies, more drugs, rock, San Francisco birthing the 60’s movement… it’s all here. This book has rare photos and quotes given by the band members and other friends and musicians, spanning from their Haight & Ashbury era, the Kool Aid Acid Tests, throughout the 70’s and 80’s, and the early 90’s.
Excerpt from preface:
“’The more things change the more they remain the same.’
How fitting when applied to the Grateful Dead and the legions that have been their ‘family’ through out the years. The basic entities remain the same–a public arena, the fans, the artist and their instruments. And VOILA!–a communion. The organic formula is so simple–no hydraulic lifts, no spandex pants, no strobe lights–simply good music, the attitude of brotherhood and he desire to experience joy. I’ve always thought of Dead shows as calling ‘time out’ to the planet so that, for a few hours, we can all leave our worries behind and just enjoy ourselves. The lyrics are meaningful, the rhythm is pelvic, and we all become part of the grand design that is the Grateful dead extended family.”
