Just finished reading John Lennon, Neil young, and Greg allman. Which Jerry auto is the best? there are several.
Score: 1
Would also be interested to hear people's opinions. How was the Neil Young one OP? Heard he talks about his new audio format a ton which I'm actually very interested in.
Score: 1
It's very good and very interesting. My dad is a huge Neil young fan but not but not much of reader being an old farm boy stoner from ohio, and he can't put it down.

An autobiography is a book written by the subject about his or her life. There is no Jerry Garcia autobiography. That being said, "Garcia: An American Life" by Blair Jackson is a good read.
Score: 7
Agreed! The Blair Jackson book is a good one.
Also, Phil's autobiography 'Searching for the Sound' is excellent.

Jackson's book is the best, I think. I also really got into Dark Star: An Oral Biography. Greenfield weaves different sources/voices (sometimes Garcia's own) to paint a pretty vivid picture of Jerry's life.(Also, file it under "supplementary," but Steve Parish's Home Before Daylight was better than I expected.)

agreed on Blair Jacksons. Great read. Although id have to say Dennis Mcnallys, 'A Long Strage Trip' is the ultimate Dead book

"A signpost to new space" is a quick and easy read. Basically two long interviews with Garcia from the early seventies I think.
Score: 0
Blair's book is so well-written. It's the best for learning the back story of Jerry and Dead music, not so much for lurid tour tales...
