One of the greatest bands of all time and one of the greatest music photographers in history meet in this incredible visual archive featuring exclusive never-before-seen photos. Jim Marshall took over ten thousand photos of the Grateful Dead throughout their career--from Woodstock to the last free concert on Haight Street and beyond. Marshall's magnificent images chronicle the band's trajectory as hairstyles changed, relationships came and went, and the music evolved into the sound that would become beloved by generations to come. Marshall's instinctive eye matched the Dead's improvisational style, and he was welcomed into its family as he immersed himself in San Francisco's counterculture scene throughout the 1960s and '70s.
Whether you were there from the beginning or wish you had been, this is your chance to see a glorious era of music history as you've never seen it before, through the eyes of a visionary artist. PHOTOGRAPHY ICON: Jim Marshall is the great rock-and-roll photographer, as his images of the Grateful Dead prove. In addition to being a legendary artist, he was a peer, colleague, and friend to the musicians and documented countless iconic musical moments throughout the 1960s and 1970s. NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN IMAGES: From electrifying photos of the band playing live onstage to more intimate portraits of rehearsals, this collection showcases an amazing array of images. One-third of the photos have never before been published, making The Grateful Dead by Jim Marshall an exclusive treat for any Deadhead or photography fan. THE ULTIMATE DEADHEAD COLLECTIBLE: Many books and documentary films have been created about the Grateful Dead, but Marshall's photographs offer an unmatched time capsule of the Dead and their era. Published to coincide with the band's 60th anniversary, this book is a perfect gift for anyone who's interested in music history or nostalgic for the counterculture of the '60s and '70s. Perfect for:

About the Author
Jim Marshall, who died in 2010 at age 74, is widely celebrated as a premier music photographer and pioneer of the genre. His portfolio includes photos of virtually every major musician of his era, not only the icons of rock 'n' roll but also giants of jazz, blues, and country. Annie Leibowitz called him "THE rock 'n' roll photographer." Marshall was a legend not only for his outsize personality but also for the way he seemed to disappear when behind his trademark Leica camera, thereby producing some of the most intimate and iconic images in music history. John Mayer is a GRAMMY(R) Award-winning artist and songwriter. Since 2015, he has toured with Dead & Company on lead guitar and vocals. David Gans is a California-born musician, author, and radio host. He has published five books about the Grateful Dead and produced boxed sets, compilations, and tribute albums for the band. Gans lives in Oakland, California. Amelia Davis is the owner and manager of Jim Marshall Photography LLC. She lives in San Francisco.
