Title: Good, but not essential
Product review: If you're a well-read Deadhead, you'll find very little that you haven't heard before in Phil's book. But since it's *Phil* talking, there are a few insights to be gained here and there, and some darn interesting perspectives. Phil is certainly a good writer, a fascinating guy, an astounding musician, etc., and he is as inside as it's possible to be on the subject... But there are very few blow-your-mind epiphanies here.Of course, it's a must-read for serious students of the Dead, but IMHO the single best book on the Grateful Dead is still Blair Jackon's biography of Jerry Garcia. That's the essential one!
