5.0 out of 5 stars
Slices of life with all it's joy, wonder, and pathos,
By "lastrefugegeo" (Hitchcock, Tx United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tales of Tour (Paperback)
The short stories in this book do so much more than just capture perfectly the essence of the Deadhead Culture, they pinpoint the feelings and experiences of a time in life when everything was possible and negativity just meant take another route.The author has the ability to make us care deeply about his characters and what they are going through within a few sentences of the start of each story. From the young attorney to a runaway, I was mesmerized by each and kept paging forward looking for more on each one. I fell into the book expecting to just revisit the experience of tour days and instead found so much more. I highly reccommend this book to anyone interested in revisitng the past, or ready to enjoy meeting some of the most fascinating slices of life it's ever been my pleasure to find within the pages of a book.

Fabulous!,
By Amy Wolf (Lawrence, Kansas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tales of Tour (Paperback)
This is a great book for anyone who has ever wondered about the Deadhead culture or followed the band. Alex Kolker's characters come alive within the pages of several short stories which allow his readers experience the magic of the Dead and of Phish as well as everything that goes along with the tours for themselves. I enjoyed every minute of the book and hope that the author puts out another volume soon!

A Great Reminder,
By
This review is from: Tales of Tour (Paperback)
I bought this book after 6 years of not seeing any Grateful Dead related show. Alex's stories rekindled the magic feeling I used to get from going to the shows and hanging around the parking lot. He does a great job with both description, character development and flow. My only complaint is that the book is too short. This should be mandatory reading for anyone that has ever been to a Dead Show or plans on following the next generation of Jam Bands.
