LONG STRANGE TRIP, A(ISBN=9780767911863) 英文原版 fb2 免费 lrf 下载 kindle azw3 pdf 阿里云

　　The complete history of one of the most long-lived and

legendary bands in rock history, written by its official historian

and publicist–a must-have chronicle for all Dead Heads,

and for students of rock and the 1960s’ counterculture.

From 1965 to 1995, the Grateful Dead flourished as one of the

most beloved, unusual, and accomplished musical entities to ever

grace American culture. The creative synchronicity among Jerry

Garcia, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Bill Kreutzmann, Mickey Hart, and Ron

“Pigpen” McKernan exploded out of the artistic ferment of the early

sixties’ roots and folk scene, providing the soundtrack for the

Dionysian revels of the counterculture. To those in the know, the

Dead was an ongoing tour de force: a band whose constant commitment

to exploring new realms lay at the center of a thirty-year journey

through an ever-shifting array of musical, cultural, and mental

landscapes.

Dennis McNally, the band’s historian and publicist for more than

twenty years, takes readers back through the Dead’s history in A

Long Strange Trip. In a kaleidoscopic narrative, McNally not only

chronicles their experiences in a fascinatingly detailed fashion,

but veers off into side trips on the band’s intricate stage setup,

the magic of the Grateful Dead concert experience, or metaphysical

musings excerpted from a conversation among band members. He brings

to vivid life the Dead’s early days in late-sixties San

Francisco–an era of astounding creativity and change that

reverberates to this day. Here we see the group at its most raw and

powerful, playing as the house band at Ken Kesey’s acid tests,

mingling with such legendary psychonauts as Neal Cassady and Owsley

“Bear” Stanley, and performing the alchemical experiments, both

live and in the studio, that produced some of their most searing

and evocative music. But McNally carries the Dead’s saga through

the seventies and into the more recent years of constant touring

and incessant musical exploration, which have cemented a unique

bond between performers and audience, and created the business

enterprise that is much more a family than a corporation.

Written with the same zeal and spirit that the Grateful Dead

brought to its music for more than thirty years, the book takes

readers on a personal tour through the band’s inner circle,

highlighting its frenetic and very human faces. A Long Strange Trip

is not only a wide-ranging cultural history, it is a definitive

musical biography.
