SUMMARY:Book Talk: Live Dead: The Grateful Dead\, Live Recordings\, and the Ideology of Liveness
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the second of two author talks this semester 
 celebrating the launch of a new book series from Duke University Press\, 
 Studies in the Grateful Dead\, exploring the iconic rock band’s lasting 
 impact on American culture and the “long strange trip” their music is 
 still taking today.\n\nThe Grateful Dead were one of the most successful 
 live acts of the rock era. Performing more than 2\,300 shows between 1965 
 and 1995\, the Grateful Dead’s reputation as a “live band” was—and 
 continues to be—sustained by thousands of live concert recordings from 
 every era of the group’s long and colorful career. \n\nIn Live Dead\, 
 musicologist John Brackett examines how live recordings—from the 
 group’s official releases to fan-produced tapes\, bootlegs to “Betty 
 Boards\,” and Dick’s Picks to From the Vault—have shaped the general 
 history and popular mythology of the Grateful Dead for more than fifty 
 years. \n\nThis is the second of two author talks celebrating the launch of 
 the new Duke University Press series\, Studies in the Grateful Dead. The 
 first talk will take place February 2\, featuring Michael Kaler\, author of 
 Get Shown the Light: Improvisation and Transcendence in the Music of the 
 Grateful Dead.\n\nLight refreshments will be served. Copies of the book 
 will be available for purchase. Registration optional but encouraged to 
 help estimate attendance.\n\n\nAbout the Author\n\nJohn Brackett is an 
 independent scholar and author of John Zorn: Tradition and Transgression\, 
 and co-editor of The Routledge Companion to Popular Music Analysis: 
 Expanding Approaches.\n\n \n\nAbout the Book Series\n\nEdited by Nicholas 
 G. Merriweather\, Executive Director of the Grateful Dead Studies 
 Association and former Grateful Dead Archivist at the University of 
 California–Santa Cruz\, Studies in the Grateful Dead explores the musical 
 and cultural significance\, impact\, and achievement of the Grateful Dead 
 while reinventing the academic and popular discourse devoted to the band.
