About this title: As one of the Grateful Dead's founder members, bassist Phil Lesh knows his audience-- only a few brief pages into his autobiography, SEARCHING FOR THE SOUND, he's already on his first acid trip and being chauffeured around San Francisco by Merry Prankster Neal Cassady. There are Acid Tests, subsequent instances of telepathy, as well as mayhem against The Man, and much jamming--and it's still only 1966. Lesh gives a riveting eyewitness account of the Dead's side of 1969's Altamont debacle, while his intimate descriptions of numerous Dead concerts, notably their February 1970 Fillmore East show ...

"Pretty good! Not a comprehensive history of The Dead, but an interesting look into the inner workings of the band by one of its founders (and, arguably, its most interesting and multi-faceted member). I wish he had spent a little more time talking about the group's improvisational dynamic, and a little less on re-hashing the usual road stories, but it's a worthwhile read, especially if you're just getting into this band's music for the first time (as I was last summer)."
"Wow, Phil Lesh is a great writer!!!!! I'm not that electronically savvy so a lot of the sound parts baffled me but his music history and the relationship of the Grateful Dead family was powerful. I especially admired his intelligence, wry sense of humor and honesty."
"Of course I'm interested in the material, but Lesh has a surprisingly strong voice and sense of story. And he's refreshingly frank about a lot of sensitive issues: drug and alcohol problems in the band, the decline of the music in general, personal gripes, etc. What struck me the most was how much of a fanboy he sounds like when he talks about Jerry Garcia. Just like anyone else in the crowd, he would get excited just by Jerry looking over at him and winking. All in all, a decent read, but maybe only if you're a deadhead."
