Home Before Daylight: My Life on the Road with the Grateful Dead by Steve Parish

Description: Home Before Daylight by Steve Parish, Joe Layden From San Francisco to Europe to Egypt - this is an all-inclusive backstage pass into Americas most legendary rock n roll band. It was 1969 when Steve parish worked his first Grateful Dead show. He fell in love with the band of like-minded misfits who formed the nucleus of what would be the greatest road crew in rock history. He travelled to California and became a permanent fixture of the Dead family. He formed an especially close bond with Jerry Garcia, and was perhaps hardest hit when tragedy threatened to consume them all. Home Before Daylight is filled with the stories fans dream about - tales of memorable shows, encounters with famous (and infamous) people and the insane reality of life on the road. Seen through Parishs eyes, the Deads wild ride has never been so compelling, or authentic. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Back Cover Never before has a true insider, a member of the Grateful Dead family from the bands early days through today, told the story of life on the road with the Grateful Dead. From San Francisco to Europe to Egypt and back again; from wild parties and horrible tragedies; from laughter to heartbreak--this is the inside story of the most legendary American rock n roll band of all time and the tale of a man who lived it, from roadie to manager and brother. "The Grateful Dead was all about improvisation, and Steve spoke that language with flourish...Steve was a central figure, often in the lead of what was going on backstage, in the hotels, on the airplanes, busses, boats, or whatever. If ever I get around to writing a book, youll be reading plenty more about Steve." - Bob Weir, from the foreword Author Biography Steve Parish travelled with the Grateful Dead for over thirty years, first as roadie then as manager of the Jerry Garcia Band.
