One of the greatest bands of all time and one of the greatest music photographers in history meet in this incredible visual archive featuring exclusive never-before-seen photos.
Whether you were there from the beginning or wish you had been, this is your chance to see a glorious era of music history as you've never seen it before, through the eyes of a visionary artist.
Jim Marshall took thousands of photos of the Grateful Dead throughout their career--from Woodstock to the last free concert on Haight Street and beyond. Marshall's magnificent images chronicle the band's trajectory as hairstyles changed, relationships came and went, and the music evolved into the sound that would become beloved by generations to come.
Marshall's instinctive eye matched the Dead's improvisational style, and he was welcomed into its family as he immersed himself in San Francisco's counterculture scene throughout the 1960s and '70s.
- He documented casual domestic scenes and transcendent concerts alike, offering a nuanced and intimate portrait of the band.
- The striking images in this book--a third of which have never been published--are printed in the rich, high-contrast tones that Marshall favored. They include glimpses of remarkable moments like the Newport Pop Festival, Woodstock, and the Human Be-In.
- Quotes from contemporaries, collaborators, and members of the wider Dead community bring the images alive, while longer essays contextualize this photographic archive.
Whether you were there from the beginning or wish you had been, this is your chance to see a glorious era of music history as you've never seen it before, through the eyes of a visionary artist.
