Why read it?
1 author picked Living with the Dead as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
As good a history of the Dead as you’re likely to find. Scully spent nearly two decades as close to the band as you could get without actually being a member. Great stories and anecdotes and a wonderfully drawn and evocative history of the band from their very early acid-drenched days in the 1960s through to their evolution as one of the most important and loved bands in American music history.
From Stuart's list on The Grateful Dead (from a music journalist).
