5.0 out of 5 stars Are you "on the bus?"..., 23 Jan 2003
By A Customer
I disagree with the first reviewer here in that I found the book to be a well rounded view of the Dead. The narration was undertaken in a passive way never over praising the band, which is common in books such as these, and pointing out their many areas of fault too, the power and control the crew had, the inability to face issues of virtually any description, the drug use etc.

It was interesting that this independent view also carried into the descriptions of the protagonists - Garcia while getting most coverage has his good and bad sides described. Its easy with all bands to fall into the trap of how you think they are in real life - this book shows all members in what I choose to believe are their true colours - and as with all people they have their faults and are not always likeable.

That said I am a big fan of the Dead and have enjoyed their music for many years. It was very interesting to have the "inside view", the stories behind the songwriting and the live experience. The latter point was wonderfully covered by a number of "intermission" chapters that described parts of the show throughout the book. This format I found very interesting and enjoyable.

For those people who are generally interested in music there is a lot here to enjoy about the pyscadelic music movement, the development of the hippy generation and how this coincided with the politcal situation of the times.

The book is extremely well researched and written and gives a good well rounded view of the band.

Complaints - I would agree with one reviewer here
