The Grateful Dead are perhaps the most legendary American rock band of all time. For thirty years, beginning in the hippie scene of San Francisco in 1965, they were a musical institution, the original jam band that broke new ground in so many ways. From the music to their live concert sound systems and fan recordings, they were forward-thinking champions of artistic control and outlaw artists who marched to the beat of their own drums.In Deal, Bill Kreutzmann, one of their founding members and drummer for every one of their over 2,300 concerts has written an unflinching and wild account of playing in the greatest improvisational band of all time. Everything a rock music fan would expect is here, but what sets this apart is Bill's incredible life of adventure that was at the heart of the Grateful Dead experience. This was a band that knew no limits and Bill lived life to the fullest, pushing the boundaries of drugs, drums and high times, through devastating tragedy and remarkable triumph.But at this book's beating heart is the music--theirs and others. Some of the greatest musicians and concerts were a part of the Grateful Dead's career, from sharing the stage with Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan, and The Who, to playing in the Acid Tests, The Monterey Pop Festival, Woodstock and Altamont. Bill's life is a chronicle of American music and pop culture history and his epic personal journey is one of sonic discovery and thrilling experiences.

"Deal" is much more relaxed and personal story than other books on the Grateful Dead floating around. It took me a bit to get into the flow of the storytelling. But once I let myself go and just enjoy the experience (as any deadhead knows is key to a good show), I could picture Bill sitting across from me, telling his story, in his own way, in his own time. And suddenly I was immersed in each era and each experience, in vivid detail and feeling.At first I felt critical of Benjy thinking, "what did this guy even do?" I felt like he must have been a straight up transcriber, even missing some pretty basic edits (like leaving the word "to" out of sentence). Then I realized he must have kept Bill on track, keeping him focused on telling a relatively linear tale, encouraging him to expand on certain topics and keep him from rambling on with other themes. It's actually a testament to his editorial prowess that Bill's voice and personality are never lost.To get to know each member of the GD, past and present, along with all the supporting characters (managers, roadies, lsd providers, "friends of the dead"), through the eyes of one of their own was a gift. This is a history told through experience... Learning the "history" of beloved songs, through their improvisational meters, the events that inspired each lyric and the collaboration born of a shared consciousness of the band members. Traveling to venues across the world and going behind the scenes and "after the show." Imagining the high jinx that ensued when band members were burning off after show energy, partying with a huge cast of characters (I will never forget the late night, indoor "battle of the fireworks "). Hearing of deep friendships formed with other iconic characters of each decade. And to learn where Bill came from, what shaped him as a man, a friend, a rebel, and a musician. And so much more.Personally, it was sad for me to read of the final Jerry years and the disconnect felt between the band members and the fans during the 90's. For I wasn't on the scene until 1990 and beyond. And for me, those experiences made an indelible mark on my soul; they felt pure and authentic. I am a continuing deadhead in the 20+ years since and a big fan of the most recent iteration, Dead & Company. It made me dream of being born in an earlier decade. But, since that's not possible, living vicariously through the life & stories Bill has shared here, I could almost imagine that I had. And hearing of his enthusiasm for creating and playing music again over the last decade, with other musicians (like Oteil) and now with Bobby and Mickey, fills me with hope. And a deep excitement for the start of Spring Tour 2019!Thank you, Bill, for opening up your vault and sharing of yourself so honestly and completely with all of us, your forever fans.
