Dark Star: An Oral Biography of Jerry Garcia

amazing!

Really fantastic book! There’s a backstory to this review: My husband was mayor of a large city, so I have the most minuscule taste of what it’s like to be recognized on the street. Little nothing me helped run his grassroots campaign. And because he was a populist, I could actually feel the prayers of those who wanted him in office. Now, for the review: I was moved by many things in this biography, but my favorite passage came from Randy Baker. “The most likely way for Jerry to die would have been from something sudden. I think he might have been able to rally and recuperate from anything that was lingering, in part because of the number of people who would pray for him when he was ill.” I believe Baker is spot on. More, I sure hope that our beloved Jerry Garcia was ready to cross over – and I sure hope the reports are correct that he had a smile on his face when he did. That would make me feel so much better, especially considering all the joy and comfort that I am still bestowed with from his soul having been on this earth. Thanks, Mr. Greenfield for a wonderful read. Wishing you all things wonderful. Gloria Squitiro, Author of May Cause Drowsiness and Blurred Vision: The Side Effects of Bravery

Interessante Episoden, wissenswerte Infos und Erzählungen von denen, die nah dran waren. Absolute Empfehlung!

Extremely good delivery. Really everything a "Deadhead" would want from a memory of Jerry Garcia. Nothing missing. Excellent.

Big Steve is bigger than life with his wealth of knowledge from the inside of the most influential rock bands we will ever witness, thank you

This is the first book I've read about Garcia. Although done as a series of comments, it does move in a more or less chronological order. Weak points for me are lack of dates( which could have been added as an editorial comment, or as footnotes). The good points were that it was the views of those like his first 2 wives, his brother and Greenfield is content not to make comment. I am presently waiting on the Blair Jackson biography and look forward to contrasting them
