Review
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. A good readBy Steve DosseyAn interesting approach: take all known interviews with the band members and place the most interesting of them chronologically in a history of the band; plus context by the authors and as well as recollections of those in the Dead scene.....It reads well and brings back a lot of memories. Really would have liked to have more on the reactions to Garcias death. And most of the late 70s; 80s/90s interviews with the band members were interviews they gave to promote their new albums....and a little too much print given to the albums Terrapin Station and Go To Heaven....the antidotes at the end of the book held no interest to me...... nonetheless a good retrospective on the band and their times. Glad it did not sink into a "tell all" book that is so in fashion in todays biographies....2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Buy this book - articulate; insightful; and told by those who were there(usually when they were there)By David WaiteAn outstanding book giving me a keen insight to the world of the Grateful Dead. The narrative from the inside circle and band members is woven into an articulate story of the events as they unfolded; buy the folks that share the story from very recent memories (eg: talking about 1970 in 1970) to recollections about events with a future spin (eg talking about 1970 in 1976). Buy this book if you want to know and feel like you are in the story and not an outsider looking in.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Im ready for Volume TwoBy gbabaAll in all I found it to be a fantastic book. Very insightful and personable. I give it 4 stars because Id already read a lot of the interviews in other publications; though "THIS IS ALL A DREAM...." put them together in a very nice and coherent manner. Truth be known; Im mostly writing this review in an attempt to encourage Blair and David to do the same concerning the Acid Tests before everyone involved is dead. Could be a lot of fun gathering up interviews with those in on the Unspoken Thing; so I wish you the best of luck with that one. Personally; I feel the Acid Tests must have been the most amazing affair ( I was in junior high at the time). Young adults awakening under the influence of LSD to God and beyond; partying their asses off. Damn! If I only had a time machine.
