Unusual Occurrences on the Road to Unlimited Devotion: Collected Stories from the Road, Hotels, Parking Lots & Dance Floors of Grateful Dead Tour

Unusual Occurrences on the Road to Unlimited Devotion is a collection of stories, perspectives, poetry, and opinions about the Grateful Dead scene as told by over 750 Deadheads, spanning roughly 30 years of the unique culture of the band and its fans, the Deadheads. The focus of this book is not what was happening on the stage, but what was happening out on the floor, in the hallways, out in the parking lots, highways, hotels and during the days between Grateful Dead shows. These stories are the tales that people remember as though they happened yesterday and form an unforgettable legacy. These are the experiences that changed people's lives, tales of magic, miracles, serendipity, catharsis, unmitigated fun, misadventures, cross-country traveling, metaphysical spirituality, and grilled cheese sandwiches. There is an axiom that two people standing next to each other at the same Grateful Dead show may have two completely different experiences. This book attempts to illustrate how that was not only possible, but also quite likely. Read more
