I gave my wife A Long Strange Trip: The Inside History of the Grateful Dead when it came out.

I started to read it about a year ago.
I'd get a chapter or so read then put it aside for months.
I've been reading it again the past few weeks and I'm almost finished with it.
It's been a long strange read but very entertaining and informative.
I'd recommend it to anyone seriously interested in GD history.

I'll probably read it again from the beginning when I finish it.

Danger Man from DB ~ Wanted Dead or Alive

I'm a dangerous man from a dangerous city and I lead a dangerous life
I've got a dangerous car it goes dangerous speeds and a very hazardous wife
I got 16 dangerous girlfriends not counting one or two
look out kid you don't want to get hit I'm dangerous for you

Chorus:
Dangerman you're so bad its a crime, danger man why don't you come up and see me some time

I'm dangerous to my fingertips mama I'm dangerous head to toe
I got dangerous ears, dangerous eyes lord knows I've got a dangerous nose
I've been wanted by the Board of Inquiry, I've been condemmed by the Board of Health
hey I don't keep no mirrors inside my house because I even scare myself

Chorus

I've got long strong dangerous arms I could kiss and hold you tight
a dangerous back dangerous torso make some good lovin' all night
I've got a headful of dangerous ideas mama and a heartful of bad intention
a mess of stuff I can't talk about too dangerous to mention you better look out

Chorus

I'm a dangerous man from a dangerous city and I lead a dangerous life
a dangerous car it goes dangerous speeds and a very hazardous wife

you better look out!

"Here, in chronological order. is a baker’s dozen: my thirteen essential, commercially ignored—some desert-island Dead."​

Excellent reading Jack, thanks for the heads-up :)

Just read his picks and I agree wholeheartedly with this review. Thr "Comes a Time" is beautiful

5/9/77, Buffalo Memorial Auditorium, Buffalo, N.Y.

On the desert island next to mine, there’s a guy who brought along every show from May, 1977—including his Betty Board of the highly overrated May 8th Cornell gig (which, I’ll concede, features the definitive version of the disco rearrangement of “Dancin in the Streets”). I have room for only one: Buffalo. The next night is better over-all, but “Help on the Way”-“Slipknot”-“Franklin’s Tower,” sadly underrepresented on this list, is stronger on this night. The slow tunes, too: “Comes a Time,” “Peggy-O.”

That's quite a Dead collection there Mowgli! Did you see a lot of shows?

I only made it into 3 shows in '88 and that's it.
I partied in tent city and Shakedown Street at a few more.
Many of my friends went on tour for months at a time every year and my wife saw over 100 shows.

I had too many bottles and bags to empty and didn't get to any Grateful Dead shows until 88.
Then I got sober.
If I had gone to any shows in the 70s/early 80s I probably would have gone on tour and not made it home.
Giggle gas was fun but I liked whiskey, acid & drunken fighting too much.
Someone would've left my dead ass by the side of the road.
 
I saw exactly 50 GD shows from 1986-1995. I enjoyed them all, and a few were absolutely transcendent.

Hey now, that's a lot of Deads concerts! I only saw them twice. All in one week in 1980. Saw them at The Uptown on a Wednesday and HAD to see the show up in Alpine on Saturday. Fantastic concerts, just loved it!
 
I saw 150 shows between 4/30/77 and 6/12/95. My favorite was 1/10/79. I sat 15th row center and as Dark Star began the purple lights were raining on the orchestra.
