Publisher Description

Photographer and Grateful Dead insider Rosie McGee narrates her memoir, telling dozens of previously-untold stories of living, traveling and working with the Dead during their first decade as a band. Not just for Deadheads or baby boomers - this audiobook is for anyone seeking a woman's intimate account of the San Francisco rock music community in the Sixties, rare in a field of such books most often written by men.

Included are firsthand stories of Autumn Records; The Matrix nightclub; the Acid Tests; Olompali; life in the Haight-Ashbury; the Human Be-In; the Grateful Dead (and the author's) bust at 710 Ashbury; New York, Toronto and Montreal with the Dead and Jefferson Airplane; Monterey Pop; Altamont; the Dead's Europe '72 tour; and encounters with individuals as diverse as Tom Donahue, Phil Spector, Lenny Bruce, Janis Joplin, Owsley Stanley, Timothy Leary, Jesse Colin Young, Julie Christie and many others.

Demomike88 ,

Fascinating perspective.

I downloaded the audio version of the book for a little road trip I had to take and I'm sure glad I did. What a fascinating story told by the author with flair. It was an interesting perspective by Rosie maGee herself,someone who was an insider and in orbit around my favorite band. She kept me glued to the story for 20 minutes after arriving at my destination just to hear the end.
I would recommend this not just to Dead Heads but to anyone who would like a good story.
