From 1965 to 1995, the Grateful Dead flourished as one of the most beloved, unusual, and accomplished musical entities to ever grace American culture. The creative synchronicity among Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Bill Kreutzmann, Mickey Hart, and Ron "Pigpen" McKernan exploded out of the early 60s roots and folk scene, providing the soundtrack for the Dionysian revels of the counterculture. Dennis McNally, the band's historian and publicist for more than 20 years, takes listeners back through the Dead's history.

Please get a good reader
Revisado: 07-15-20
I hate to trash anyone but Sean Runnette is not a music guy. Audible should do better with it's choice of readers and editors. To me, and GBY if you feel differently, Mr. Runnette cannot pronounce the "s" consonant correctly. It sounds like he has something in his mouth inhibiting his front teeth from coming together. OK it's very spiritually evolved of Audible to hire a reader who speaks with something just short of an impediment.
But -"clave" - the "cl-ay-v" ? Come on - it's "clah-vay"!! That's a bad one - really sounds ignorant. Lots of stumbling around phrases he doesn't know the meaning of. To a music fan it's clear that this reader has not engaged in conversations pertaining to some of the subjects he's reading about. There are SO many people around who know this stuff and can tell this story correctly. Also, Larry Magid's name is pronounced "Maa jid" not with the accent on the second syllable - anyone who's been around the music business knows that. He's still producing by the way.
Hire me!!

No disrespect and I really mean that but why can’t audible get a reader who can pronounce an “s?”

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 514
On their 50th anniversary comes a groundbreaking rock-and-roll memoir by one of the founding members of the Grateful Dead. The Grateful Dead are perhaps the most legendary American rock band of all time. For 30 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.

Great book Horrible narration
Revisado: 06-11-17
I hate to put anyone down but this narrator has no feel for this material. Listen to Bill speak in interviews- they are worlds apart. Mr Berkrot has a cloying, put on sound that seems to be totally uninformed of the soulfulness and artistry of his subject. It's so bad that it's laughable and sort of fun to listen to. Bill really dropped the ball on this project- he should have read it himself.

As a cofounding member of the Beach Boys in the 1960s, Wilson created some of the most groundbreaking and timeless popular music ever recorded. With intricate harmonies, symphonic structures, and wide-eyed lyrics that explored life's most transcendent joys and deepest sorrows, songs like "In My Room", "God Only Knows", and "Good Vibrations" forever expanded the possibilities of pop songwriting.

Great narration
Revisado: 04-14-17
This reader really was exceptional- I was always aware that I was not hearing Brian speaking but Fred's diction, phrasing and tone was perfect.
Personally, I am so thankful that I grew up to Brian's music - his is a most beautiful and gracious spirit.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 49
When musicians in the New York folk scene of the 1960s grew tired of city life, they decided to "get it together in the country". They headed for Woodstock - not to the site of the infamous music festival of 1969 but to the Catskills, to Bearsville, to Woodstock proper. Counterculture revolutionaries like Janis Joplin, Richie Havens, and Paul Butterfield got "back to the land", turning the once sleepy hollow into a funky Shangri-La.

Captured the era - too many mistakes
Revisado: 04-17-16
How hard is it to find a reader or at least a producer who is familiar with the subject? As soon as the reader catches a stupid mistake then intimacy with the reader is shattered (he is not one of us - its hard to believe that he shares the same passion for the subject matter that the subject demands) I will give one example (you can hire me for more) - Paul Butterfield's "In My Own Dream" was not "subsequent" to "Keep On Moving." "Dream" (1968) was basically the same band as the record that preceded it (Pigboy Crabshaw) - and KOM saw the addition of a new bassist Rod Hicks and the incredible guitarist Buzzy Feiten. There was no question in the Woodstock of 69/70 that Buzzy was THE man on guitar in town. A lot of what this book has is probably correct and well researched but not all of it.

John Glatt tells the story of the Fillmores through the lives of Bill Graham, Janis Joplin, Grace Slick, Carlos Santana, and an all-star supporting cast. Chronicling the East and West Coast cultures of the late 1960s and early 1970s-New York City with its speed, heroin, and the Velvet Underground versus San Francisco with the LSD-drenched Summer of Love - Glatt reveals how Graham made it all possible. But why did Graham shutter both Fillmores within weeks of each other in 1971, during the height of their popularity?

Pretty well researched - good info
Revisado: 03-25-15
Where does Live at the Fillmore East and West rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This must be a pretty good book - a few mistakes notwithstanding (The Allman Bros. first album was NOT "Idlewild South" - because the narrator is a joke. Overly dramatic and sounds like he has no connection to the material at all. Perhaps this is the producer/director's fault. I hate to put anyone down but this guy sounds like he's not even human ~ perhaps a computer program that reads the words. Not only does he mispronounce quite few names - but he is not even consistent - sometimes getting them right, sometimes wrong. But I enjoyed the stories - particularly learning about what was going on behind the scenes at concerts I attended.
Would you be willing to try another one of Peter Berkrot’s performances?
Hopefully I'll never have to.
