1975-1985 (v. 2) (The Deadhead's Taping Compendium) - Tapa blanda

"For Deadheads-especially tape collectors, this book is a treasure-an invaluable resource." (Billboard)

Over the past year the community of fans who proudly refer to themselves as Deadheads had many reasons to rejoice as the reconfigured Grateful Dead once again returned to the road, touring the country as The Other Ones. Concurrently, Volume 1 of The Deadhead's Taping Compium, 1959-1974 was published to great acclaim as an invaluable resource and documentation of the music that has had such a deep effect on so many lives. Now, fans can continue their celebration. Volume 2 offers a complete guide to the more than seven hundred shows that the Dead played between 1975 and 1985. These are the exciting years when the band's following grew dramatically. The review of every show includes: the date and location of the show; a complete list of all the songs played; the length, source, and genealogy of the tape; plus a rating of its quality, a comprehensive review of the show, often song by song, that captures the special moments of each concert. More than seventy-five photos of The Grateful Dead-including a sixteen-page color insert-make this a lavish and indispensable book for every Deadhead.
