Reviews"Through all the years of playing and singing these songs, I could always find illuminating insights on the 'Annotated' website. Now, to all who hunger for knowledge, those nuggets of accumulated wisdom are available in this eagerly awaited new book." -- Phil Lesh, "The words of our songs always gave the Heart a good place to land. Many a tough night was made easy by the songs and how they related perfectly right in time to soothe the spirit of whatever was going on. Like old friends they comforted you." -- Bill Kreutzmann, "In this book are insights to the songs we have lived with and loved all of these years. This is really a treat for me." -- Mickey Hart

SynopsisCelebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the most popular and enduring band ever: "Even the most hardcore Deadheads will be impressed by this obsessively complete look at the Grateful Dead's lyrics" ( Publishers Weekly ). The Complete Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics is an authoritative text, providing standard versions of all the original songs you thought you knew forwards and backwards. These are some of the best-loved songs in the modern American songbook. They are hummed and spoken among thousands as counterculture code and recorded by musicians of all stripes for their inimitable singability and obscure accessibility. How do they do all this? To provide a context for this formidable body of work, of which his part is primary, Robert Hunter has written a foreword that goes to the heart of the matter. And the annotations on sources provide a gloss on the lyrics, which goes to the roots of Western culture as they are incorporated into them. An avid Grateful Dead concertgoer for more than two decades, David Dodd is a librarian who brings to the work a detective's love of following a clue as far as it will take him. Including essays by Dead lyricists Robert Hunter and John Perry and Jim Carpenter's original illustrations, whimsical elements in the lyrics are brought to light, showcasing the American legend that is present in so many songs. A gorgeous keepsake edition of the Dead's official annotated lyrics, The Complete Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics is an absolute must-have for the fiftieth anniversary--you won't think of this cultural icon the same way again. In fact, founding band member Bob Weir said: "This book is great. Now I'll never have to explain myself."

This Grateful Dead book has got it all!
I've been reading this baby for a week now. It has all the lyrics and great pictures any fan would love. Even Bobby's short shorts make an appearance. I love the Dead lyrics and you will love this book! (Do what I do and take the cover off and save it, then treat the book gently and it will last forever!)Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Annotated GD Lyrics
The book was pretty detailed, but I don't believe the content was very accurate. It was, at the least, out of context with what I expected as annotations.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
