From San Francisco to Europe to Egypt - this is an all-inclusive backstage pass into America's most legendary rock 'n' roll band. It was 1969 when Steve parish worked his first Grateful Dead show. He fell in love with the band of like-minded misfits who formed the nucleus of what would be the greatest road crew in rock history. He travelled to California and became a permanent fixture of the Dead family. He formed an especially close bond with Jerry Garcia, and was perhaps hardest hit when tragedy threatened to consume them all. Home Before Daylight is filled with the stories fans dream about - tales of memorable shows, encounters with famous (and infamous) people and the insane reality of life on the road. Seen through Parish's eyes, the Dead's wild ride has never been so compelling, or authentic.
