[Patrick Wikstrom · Rating 4 out of 5]

Big coffee table type book. So heavy I really couldn’t hold it on my chest and read at night. I did a few pages every evening before I dug into whatever other book I was reading at the time. A complete timeline with brief notes of every concert the Dead played from beginning till past Jerry’s death. Lots of photos. Every page had three and four paragraph text blurbs about what was going on at the time. Very interesting historical info if you’re a big fan of the band. Well produced and assembled. 4½****
