Book Description
From the “acid tests” of the '60s to the famous “wall of
sound” in the ’70s and up to their exceptional later touring
systems, the Grateful Dead were always on the cutting edge of
technological innovation and experimentation. Grateful Dead Gear
is an in-depth examination of every aspect of the Dead’s technical
side. This exhaustive study includes clear and concise explanations
of the band’s equipment technology, instrument design, and studio
recording techniques, plus a history of the group.
