The Grateful Dead are perhaps the most legendary American
rock band of all time. For thirty years, beginning in the
hippie scene of San Francisco in 1965, they were a musical
institution, the original jam band that broke new ground in
so many ways. From the music to their live concert sound
systems and fan recordings, they were forward-thinking
champions of artistic control and outlaw artists who marched
to the beat of their own drums. Bill Kreutzmann, one of their founding members and drummer
for every one of their over 2,300 concerts has written an
unflinching and wild account of playing in the greatest
improvisational band of all time. Everything a rock music
fan would expect is here, but what sets this apart is Bill's
incredible life of adventure that was at the heart of the
Grateful Dead experience. This was a band that knew no
limits and Bill lived life to the fullest, pushing the
boundaries of drugs, drums and high times, through
devastating tragedy and remarkable triumph. But at this book's beating heart is the music--theirs and
others. Some of the greatest musicians and concerts were a
part of the Grateful Dead's career, from sharing the stage
with Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan, and The Who, to playing in the
Acid Tests, The Monterey Pop Festival, Woodstock and
Altamont. Bill's life is a chronicle of American music and
pop culture history and his epic personal journey is one of
sonic discovery and thrilling experiences.
