The Grateful Dead ReaderArranged in chronological order, these pieces add up to nothing less than a full scale history of the greatest tour band in the history of rock. From Tom Wolfe's account of the Dead's first performance as the Grateful Dead (at an Acid Test in 1965), to Ralph Gleason's 1967 interview with the 24 year old Jerry Garcia, to Mary Eisenhart's obituary of the beloved leader of the band, these selections include not only outstanding writing on the band

Arranged in chronological order, these pieces add up to nothing less than a full-scale history of the greatest tour band in the history of rock. From Tom Wolfe's account of the Dead's first performance as the Grateful Dead (at an Acid Test in 1965), to Ralph Gleason's 1967 interview with the 24-year-old Jerry Garcia, to Mary Eisenhart's obituary of the beloved leader of the band, these selections include not only outstanding writing on the band itself, but also superb pieces on music and pop culture generally. Fans will be fascinated by the poetry, fiction, drawings, and rare and revealing photographs featured in the book, as well as the anthology's many interviews and profiles, interpretations of lyrics, and concert and record reviews.
Still, The Grateful Dead was more than a band--it was a cultural phenomenon. For three decades it remained on one unending tour, followed everywhere by a small army of nomadic fans. This phenomenon is both analyzed and celebrated here, in such pieces as Ed McClanahan's groundbreaking article in Playboy in 1972, fan-magazine editor Blair Jackson's 1990 essay on the seriousness of the drug situation at Dead concerts, and Steve Silberman's insightful essays on the music and its fans.

Works
Color: Mayday
A little does go a long way. It’s on the pricy side but it was worth it. It’s not something to be using all the time. But definitely a back up for whenever you do get sunburn

Really effective!
Color: Mayday
I was totally blown away by how effective this was on my recent burn, I wish I had taken pictures. So much so that I did a deep dive into the ingredients and formula (I'm a nerd). My takeaway is that this is a bargain for the quality of ingredients and the care of the formula. The product absorbs quickly, is non-greasy, and relatively moisturizing and most of all, really effective. I personally appreciate the lack of any real scent or fragrance. I'm a big fan!

Not the results I expected
Color: Mayday
I sooo wanted to love this product; however, the results were not as I expected. Especially at this price point. I have sensitive skin & actually broke out, so maybe I am allergic to one of the ingredients or applied the product too thickly. I’ve experienced better results with Coola’s Radical Recovery Organic After Sun Lotion which is only $32 for 5oz, so it’s definitely more cost effective & delivered better results in my opinion.

Could double as a sun safe Uruk-hai cosplay
Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50+
This sunscreen is amazing. Was in the sun off and on all day. One thing though. Make sure you apply with a mirror in front of you or you may end up walking out the door looking like a Uruk-hai from LOTR. I was in an allfire, trying to get to the fun part of my day, and rushed putting it on. Just as I was about to leave the hotel room I caught myself in the mirror. Complete white hand print on my face where I hadn't rubbed it in well enough. So yeah, works amazing, no sunburn, and needs rubbed in well. LOL

The best sunscreen on the market
Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50+
The best sunscreen I've ever used. I burn super easy, just 30 min outside without protection and I'll be a lobster the next day. I can apply this once in the morning and be protected all day. Pros: - Doesn't wear off quickly - Haven't had a single sunburn since I started using it - Doesn't have a strong chemical smell - A little goes a long way - Resists sweat well Cons: - Has a white cast so you really have to rub it in - It doesn't sit light, you can definitely feel it on your skin I would recommend this to anyone and everyone looking for sunscreen.
