From an insider who has been there from the beginning - the untold true story of life on the road with the Grateful Dead.
It was July of 1969 when Steve Parish worked his first Dead show. A life seemingly headed nowhere found direction as he fell in with a band of like-minded misfits who formed the nucleus of what would be the greatest road crew in rock history. Parish travelled to California and became a permanent fixture of the Dead family. He formed an especially close bond with Jerry Garcia, and was perhaps hit the hardest when tragedy threatened to consume them all.
'Home Before Daylight' is a powerfully-written story of friendship, music and redemption that is filled with all the tales that fans could wish for - anecdotes of memorable shows, encounters with famous (and infamous) people, and the sometimes insane life on the road with a band that toured and partied, and lived and loved like no other band in history.
It is a rare slice of music history and a revealing look at America's most legendary rock 'n' roll band. Seen through the eyes of a man who lived the dream, from roadie to manager; the Dead's wild ride has never been so compelling.
