With this book fans can immerse themselves in the Grateful Dead’s formative years, from their humble beginnings as a local band to their rise to global stardom, the era when they developed their pioneering musical style and their legendary live performances. Jim Marshall took more than 6,000 pictures of the Grateful Dead over the course of his career—from electrifying photos of the Dead performing for masses of fans to intimate moments of band members rehearsing and creating together to casual domestic scenes. Marshall’s instinctive eye matched the Dead’s improvisational style, and he was welcomed into its family as a peer, colleague, and friend. This book presents the best of these photos, giving fans a time capsule into the Grateful Dead’s world in their formative years. “When Jim Marshall first crossed paths with the Grateful Dead, they were a neighborhood phenomenon that was just beginning to attract attention in the wider world. Marshall knew something was happening in his hometown, and he did what he always did: He committed world-class photojournalism that helped to make this magic visible.” —David Gans
