GRATEFUL DEAD - HERE BESIDE THE RISING TIDE: JERRY GARCIA, THE GRATEFUL DEAD, AND AN AMERICAN AWAKENING - HARDCOVER - BOOK

A kaleidoscopic history of the Grateful Dead that explores the American counterculture through the life of iconoclastic frontman Jerry Garcia, and his merry band

ā€œBy writing this book, Jim Newton informs the rest of the world what Deadheads have known for years: that Jerry Garcia was more than a world-class musician, he was an American icon.ā€ā€”Trixie Garcia

In 1965, in Palo Alto, Jerry Garcia opened a dictionary to a fable in which an appreciative soul repays the generosity of a traveler, a ā€œgift of the grateful dead.ā€ After a traumatic car accident that injured him and killed a close friend, Garcia had resolved to build his life around music. He had practiced relentlessly and caromed across the northern California folk and bluegrass scene. He had gathered up some fellow musicians and formed a band.

Now they had their name.
