Renowned guitarist Steve Howe tells his own story in his own words, often unflinchingly as he recounts times of triumph and torment amidst the cream of the UK's prog rock bands. Best known for his work with Yes, a group prone to sudden upheavals, and AOR supergroup Asia, Steve Howe's passage through these and other bands is a roller coaster ride of constant touring, tense recording sessions, and frequent trips to all corners of the globe.

Long on Facts, Short on Feeling
Revisado: 04-29-24
I liked this book despite itself because I love Steve Howe and adore the music of YES. Yet I can’t deny that it’s a huge miss for us readers his emotional take on the big moments of his life. Sure it’s nice to to k ow about the new wah-wah pedal he used in June 1976 and details of how certain tracks we recorded on specific mics, but where is the musings on how songs emerged and the creative process.
Howe also teases juicy stories only to an abruptly pullback and say he can’t name names. On other occasions he’ll allude to such things like a profound series of events that was absurdly wild only then not to divulge anymore details. Why write a book when you can’t be candid and don’t open your heart at least a little bit.
A good read for die hard fans, but severely lacking in emotional details and song backgrounds, which leaves one wanting and feeling a bit letdown.

"Dr. Livingstone, I presume?" So goes the signature introduction of New York Herald star journalist Henry Morton Stanley to renowned explorer Dr. David Livingstone, who had been missing for six years in the wilds of Africa. Into Africa ushers us into the meeting of these remarkable men. In 1866, when Livingstone journeyed into the heart of the African continent in search of the Nile's source, the land was rough, unknown to Europeans, and inhabited by man-eating tribes.

In 1999, Emmon Bodfish was murdered in his home in the wealthy enclave of Orinda, California, just east of San Francisco. For the young crime-scene analyst Paul Holes, it quickly became the most bizarre and surprising case of his storied career. It was immediately clear how Emmon had died: by being hit over the head with a heavy object. What wasn’t clear was who did it and why.

All I’m going to state is that if a good ole murder-mystery story is your type of thing, then there is no doubt whatsoever you will thoroughly enjoy this real world yarn. It is special.

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.

A Great Post-Jerry View From Deep Inside The Dead
Revisado: 12-25-20
I ended up listening to the audio version of this in less than two days. It was an absolute joy to be a fly on the wall for such epic moments, all of which lead up to the July 2015 Fare Thee Well shows in Chicago. The detail presented is dazzling, while the writing style provides compellingly vivid insight of how chaos and dysfunctionality ultimately resulted in the beauty that was created on 7/5/2015. Brilliant and emotional on many levels!

Photographer and Grateful Dead insider Rosie McGee narrates her memoir, telling dozens of previously-untold stories of living, traveling and working with the Dead during their first decade as a band. Not just for Deadheads or baby boomers - this audiobook is for anyone seeking a woman's intimate account of the San Francisco rock music community in the Sixties, rare in a field of such books most often written by men.

Rosie McGhee Chronicles An Epic Chapter in American Culture
Revisado: 10-18-18
An insider’s view of life with the Grateful Dead for the first ten years of their history played out with a backdrop of the San Francisco music scene. Rosie found herself in the middle of the action, as it were, and presents this highly articulate and engaging story of her life at the center of this cultural vortex.
A splendidly enjoyable read/listen from cover to cover. Hearing her recite the adventures of her life during this period of her life is a real treat.
