LLLCF’s Distinguished Speaker Series presents:

Blair Jackson and David Gans
This is All a Dream We Dreamed

This epic oral history, by Blair Jackson and David Gans, of the 50-year-old band uses multiple perspectives to tell the story of a group that began as a San Francisco jug band of penniless hippies, morphed through multiple musical incarnations, and created a colorful psychedelic subculture.

The more than 100 voices in the book include members of the Dead, including deceased guitarist and de facto leader Jerry Garcia, and keyboardists Ron Pigpen McKernan and Brent Mydland and their collaborators.

Jackson and Gans relied on new and archival interviews, as well as other published and unpublished sources. To their credit, the authors focus as much on the creation, recording, and marketing of music as they do on the ingestion of hallucinogens. The result is a solid, engaging chronicle.
