Description
Infinite Dead is a new, groundbreaking guide to Grateful Dead concerts. Authoritative and entertaining, Volume Two features detailed reviews of every Grateful Dead concert performed in the month of July - over 170 shows, including:
Their first performance of Dark Star in over two-and-a-half years, on a Friday the 13th, during a full moon, at the Greek Theater in Berkeley, CA in 1984
The band's maiden voyage at Red Rocks in Colorado, the first of twenty concerts they'll play at this fabled venue from 1978 through 1987
Their eight July 4th concerts, from 1969 through 1990
Also included in this volume are performances from the band's summer 1989 and 1990 tours, including the East Coast stadium shows, Alpine Valley, and Deer Creek, as well as their six night stand at the Orpheum Theater in San Francisco in 1976, and six concerts featuring full sets with Bob Dylan in 1987.
Whether you're a next-generation Deadhead discovering their music for the first time, or a faithful fan with an extensive collection of recordings, Infinite Dead brings the Grateful Dead concert experience alive again: Jerry Garcia's scintillating solos, Phil Lesh's powerful bass lines, Bob Weir's creative chords and animated vocals, Bill and Mickey's "Drums" sessions, their adventurous "Space" segment, and so much more.
