The Grateful Dead were one of the most successful live acts of the
rock era. Performing over 2300 shows between 1965 and 1995, the
Grateful Dead’s reputation as a “live band” was—and
continues to be—sustained by thousands of live concert recordings
from every era of the group’s long and colorful career. In Live
Dead, musicologist John Brackett examines how live
recordings—from the group’s official releases to fan-produced
tapes, bootlegs to “Betty Boards,” and Dick’s Picks to From
the Vault—have shaped the general history and popular mythology
of the Grateful Dead for over fifty years. Drawing on a diverse
array of materials and documents contained in the Grateful Dead
Archive, Live Dead details how live recordings became meaningful
among the band and their fans not only as sonic souvenirs of past
musical performances but also as expressions of assorted ideals,
including notions of “liveness,” authenticity, and the power of
recorded sound.
