Great read! I love all things Grateful Dead, but giving this five stars just didn’t seem right after reading Phil’s book - Searching For The Sound. If Phil’s book is five stars in my mind then this must be four…

A fun, touching romp through the history of the Dead, and music in the last 50 years. Fairly unflinching memoir of his life, and relationships with the band and others. Great stories, and his radio show fills in some more.

Well...

Rock Scully's book resonated more to me. Parish wrote with too much apologies. I just wanted him to tell the story.

Fun read from a different angle. Rock from the perspective of the road crew. Lots of sex and drugs and hanging out with the Hell's Angels but the most interesting part was Steve Parish's relationship with Jerry Garcia.

Smooth

Great stories from someone who was actually there. If you’re a fan of the big Steve hour on Grateful Dead radio then this book is for you.

more about Jerry and the Garcia band as opposed to a biography about the Dead. Steve worked with Jerry for about 15-20 years and has some real touching stories and experiences.

My favorite book. Written with love and a whole lot of humor! The redhead in Oklahoma had me laughing for days!
Didn't like the ending though...Jerry still died. :(
