" Searching For The Sound " Autobiography Book ... subtitled so appropriately as " My Life With The Grateful Dead " !! This one is so very-special, in that it not only includes Eight ( 8 ) Grateful Dead Studio & Live Tracks ! ... but, each track receives a thorough explanation of Phil's take on the Track - in a ' Commentary ' format - considering the circumstances, time, place, and Phil's personal opinion ! The Tracks range from 1966 to 1995, all the way through the very last & final Grateful Dead Show at Soldier Field in Chicago - where Phil calls for a 2nd ! Encore, in " Box Of Rain " ... and here, he explains exactly why. Phil's commentary is rich in detail, and even more so in some cases ... emotion. This one is just Magnificent ! in that is was released in 2005 - in conjunction with the release of his long-awaited Book - " Searching For The Sound " ... and this time-period unofficially marked 10-Years since the Final Grateful Dead Show ! Some of the emotion is still fresh indeed, as naturally - as we all know ... none of that ever really changes anyways, but time can heal. Musically, Phil also really gets into pointing out the jam-points here on the Live material, and as far as the Studio tracks - you get to learn valuable info, the likes of why Phil & the band referred to the song ' Cardboard Cowboy ' as " The Monster " ! Classic info for certain, and vital tidbits for any Grateful Dead Fan ... hearing Phil's take ! Check out the track info provided below, and you can have a quick-glance bird's eye view of the Goods ! And, this one is quite the rarity, in that it was released during what were really the 1st / Early Period of " Bonus Discs ". And, to acquire this one - you had to buy the Book ! I actually went to Phil's Book signing at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, Oregon in 2005 - where you could buy his Book, and he would sign it for you ... with some quick fun & chatter too ! However, it was here that I learned that you actually had to " Pre/Early-Order " this Book directly - to receive this very-special Bonus Disc CD item ... which as I saw it, was a complete no brainer & a Must-Have ! This one now actually clocks in at well-over a decade old !?! already, and ... as is the case with many of these rare Bonus Disc CD items - it is yet-another one certainly worth it's weight in Deadhead gold !
