preety interesting so far, great insights into the band's gear, esp. like the descriptions of Jerry's axe's even going back to his bluegrass days.  awesome pics too!

me thinks this book will make the perfect gift for somebody...might have to buy my own copy too...seems really cool...thanks

read through that last year, absolutely loved it.  really one of the most fascinating aspects about the band has been their use (and really, invention) of technology as they grew, so reading about all of it in such detail (and with such direct connections to what was going on in their career at the time) was thrilling for me as a tech geek & Deadhead.

Having read it years ago, I would have to say that that is quite and understatement.   :-)
"There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese."          -Bobby Finstock

Just finished it and I wanted to throw it across the room.  Not sure if it's from frustration or wanting to know more...

But don't let that fool you.  The writing is extraordinary.  Recommended.

About to start Beloved again, with my classes. This book is a lot harder to get through now that I have a baby of my own.

Man, that is a tough one. Funny how books affect you at different points in your life.

I know it's an English teacher thing to say, but that's why reading is so great.

enjoyed the 1st half of that one  - a lot. Great stories about the 60s and 1970, Derek and the Dominoes

got tired of reading about being drunk, almost killing himself, and recovery the second half

for another view of EC, and some great insights to George and the Beatles, check out Wonderful Tonight

I just started this one
