Another gift from Dad. Post-it inside, for Valentine's Day. This is for Deadheads only, and I do love this band for what they are. I feel lucky I was able to see them live twice in the early 90s. Indoors one cold night in Cleveland and outdoors at Buckeye Lake one summer. My favorite song (like you can have just one) is "Eyes of the World." Amazingly, there is live footage of it on YouTube. YouTube is amazing! It was fun after listening to them all through college. Always takes you back.

Grateful Dead Family Album by Jerilyn Brandelius(Warner Books 1991)(780.92). A Dead insider provides info gleaned from her role with the Dead. My rating: 9/10, finished 1992. I purchased my used PB copy in very good condition for $1.50 from McKay's Used Books on 8/10/18! PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

Adjust down to three stars for non-Deadheads. Some exclusive photos (and lots you've seen before) and tales from the larger Grateful Dead family of roadies, friends, GDTSTOO, promoters, etc. The chaotic graphic layout fits the band's ethos but can make for a difficult linear read, so plan on just skipping around.

Deadheads = yes
anyone else = most likely not. I used to be into that shit. It sort of still holds a soft spot, but not really.
