David Gans, a self-professed Deadhead and host of \"The Grateful Dead Hour,\" asked Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, and the rest of the band the questions their fans would have asked if given the chance. And Gans reaches far beyond the musicians, talking with such often-overlooked key players as the recording engineer, sound man, and road crew--those who have had the coveted opportunity to witness the Dead's decades of music-making. This updated and expanded edition includes a rare, never-before-published interview with \u003ci\u003eSeastones\u003c\/i\u003e composer Ned Lagin and a new introduction by the author. With a readable combination of intensity, inquisitiveness, and candor, Gans has created an unprecedented portrait of a band who, after more than thirty years of music-making, has earned a unique place in American culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Gans\u003c\/b\u003e is a musician, author of \u003ci\u003ePlaying in the Band\u003c\/i\u003e, and host of the nationally syndicated radio show \u003ci\u003eThe Grateful Dead Hour.\u003c\/i\u003e He has also produced three albums, including the Grateful Dead's gold-record-winning boxed set, \u003ci\u003eSo Many Roads\u003c\/i\u003e (1965-1995).
