Great Insider's Perspective

I've read a few Dead books and this is by far the best insider's perspective. Phil was there from the beginning and vividly recounts what it was like growing with the band. Everything from the acid tests to the untimely death of their front man is covered in great detail. Surprisingly, through all the chemicals, Phil has a great memory of events and leaves nothing out. I was too young to experience the Dead first hand, but after reading Searching for the Sound, I listen to them as if I had been there.

Luuuvv U Uncle Phil!

Other than Sting & Sir Pauley, you're the greatest to ever touch the instrument!

A beautiful and poignant story.

I truly enjoyed this account of Phil's life and his experience with the Grateful Dead. The audio ,which was read by the author, was beautifully written and entertaining!

The Best Book On The Grateful Dead So Far

My first review on Amazon; so, you know it must be imporatant. This book is terrific. I've read several other books on the Grateful Dead. The other books do not "flow" like this book does. Phil is less concerned with specific dates and more concerned with the overall feeling or "vibe" that was going on at the time. Its easier to read because it doesn't get bogged down in "which people were present at a specific meeting on what date." Its the only book written by a band member (so far). Because of that, it gives the inside perspective on events that others missed. Get into the "PHIL ZONE" and buy this book!

The Best Book Written About The Dead

I've read at least 10 different books about the Grateful Dead. While many of these books are very informative, nothing comes close to Phil Lesh's book. It reads more like a day-to-day encyclopedia of Phil's perspective of his life before, during and after the Grateful Dead. No detail seems to be left out. His memory of the minutia of his life is staggering. If you really want to know what was going on with Phil before, during and after the Grateful Dead, this book is highly recommended. It is not a quick read but it is very informative: more so than any other book regarding the Grateful Dead. Budget between 15 and 20 hours to read this book even though it does not appear to be that long of a book. Phil, job well done! Bravo!

In this ruthlessly honest, illuminating bestseller, the bass player for the greatest improvisational band in American history tells the full, true story of his life, Jerry Garcia, and the Grateful Dead.
