The Grateful Dead rose to greatness under the inspired leadership of guitarist Jerry Garcia, but the band very nearly died along with him. When Garcia passed away suddenly in 1995, the remaining band members experienced full crises of confidence and identity. So long defined by Garcia's vision for the group, the surviving "Core Four", as they came to be called, were reduced to strained relationships, and catastrophic business decisions. It would take 20 years before relationships were mended enough for the Grateful Dead as fans remembered them to once again take the stage.

Solid Book

A very interesting text that delves deep into the lives of The Grateful Dead Band members after Jerry Garcia’s death in 1995. It is a look at the politics of the band and the struggles the group had finding any real desire to play together due to personality conflicts. Lesh and Kruetzman are portrayed less favorable than Hart and Weir. Lesh is portrayed as a bit of a chip on his shoulder contrarian who feels like he needs to assert his control and collect the lion share of revenue. His wife is portrayed less favorably. She’s portrayed as often combative, elitist, arrogant and greedy…who loves Phil and her family. Kruetzman is portrayed as a borish, bitter substance abusing bully who yells more often than he speaks and a man, who despite his amazing success and good fortune is often unkind to anyone that offers a different opinion than his. Hart is portrayed a purist of a musician who has vast talent but can be volatile and difficult get along with. He’s ego gets the worst of him often, but he’s always looking to push the envelope and be an innovator. Bob Weir is portrayed as a kind, driven kind soul who gets what the legacy means and also the importance of the stories that make up the world of The Grateful Dead.

Steve Parish was never one to walk the straight-and-narrow, even during his childhood growing up in Flushing Meadow, Queens. Busted as a teenager for selling acid in the summer of 1968, Parish landed in Riker's Island. The experience changed him, and after getting out, he did his best to stay out of trouble, securing a job moving music equipment at the New York State Pavilion. The first show he worked was a Grateful Dead concert in July of 1969, and Parish was captivated by the music. A life seemingly headed nowhere had suddenly found its calling.

Any true Deadhead is gonna be into this story

This audiobook delivers on what your hoping for, some new stories and a different perspective on the history and tales that we all know so well. I find Steve Parish a likable sort although he’s pretentious, has a fake modesty that’s annoying and is terribly repetitive. Despite those big drawbacks, there are several others, but those are the qualities that irk me the most. The book is interesting, lively, at times thoughtful and honestly the same reason that we all our shameless voyeurs, looking in on a guy’s life that you can only speculate about. This dude is a cool guy, despite his repetitive antics and fake the Everyman persona where he constantly lauds how incredible they all were at n
Kiki whatever the hell he’s talking about, the next sentence he’ll be like I was just a man who hauled equipment and the music, the sound was all that mattered. I wish I could tell him STFU and just spin some yarns of the days of yore and cut the pretense. His sexual escapades are epic and he reiterates two themes throughout the reading, that coke and heroin are terrible drugs that ruin lives and they are nothing more than certain ruin and that Steve Parish f’d jos.
