Summary:"This book of 20 original, scholarly essays and seven reflective writings offers a spirited analysis of the unique improvisational character of Grateful Dead music and its impact on fans. The band's trademark focus is discussed as a function of complex musical improvisation with the band members' collective assimilation of a range of marginal musical forms and lyrical traditions"--Provided by publisher.
