Deadhead life in 1988–89

Set during the Grateful Dead’s late-1980s resurgence, this second Tour Tales volume returns to George and his circle as attending shows becomes a deeper commitment rather than an occasional adventure. The book frames more than fifty concerts from 1988 and 1989 through the practical and personal changes facing a group growing older within a touring culture. References to the post-“Touch of Grey” moment place these experiences in a period when the band’s visibility—and the surrounding scene—had shifted. Questions of repetition, fun, loyalty, and sustaining a shared ritual run through this continuation of the series.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Grateful Dead listeners interested in the band’s late-1980s touring scene
  • Fans of concert-centered memoirs and firsthand music-culture accounts
  • Readers continuing from Grateful Dead Tour Tales One

Book overview

Tour TalesTwo continues right where Tour Tales One left off. It's now nineteen eighty-eight, and for better or for worse, the Grateful Dead are back in style. Gone are the days of not being able to find your car after a show. In volume two, the stakes are raised as our main character, George, and his friends begin to grow up and become more and more dedicated. Can they still find fun in all this repetition? Will they be able to survive in a post "Touch of Grey" world? Where's the Dog Star? Find out the answer to these and many more questions in Tour Tales Two, the uproariously funny, meaningful, and true-to-life tale about witnessing over fifty Dead shows during the years 1988 & '89.
