This third volume of THE DEADHEAD'S TAPING COMPANION celebrates and documents more than 700 live concert performances of the Grateful Dead during a decade in which the band became immensely popular; produced one of its most successful albums. In The Dark (1987) and in 1988 had a top-ten single (Touch of Grey). During this decade Vice president and Tipper Gore were spotted at concerts in Washington and the band was invited to the White House. When Jerry Garcia died on August 9, 1995, Deadheads mourned the passing of a brilliant musician and an enduring emblem of 1960s idealism, and trading tapes of the Dead's live concerts skyrocketed. With a review of every show - including the date and location; a complete list of the songs played; the length, source and genealogy of the tape and a rating of its quality; and commentary on each concert's special moments - this book keeps the Grateful Dead experience alive.

"The famous--and infamous--Nixon White House tapes that reveal for the first time President Richard Nixon uncensored, unfiltered, and in his own words. [His] voice-activated taping system captured every word spoken in the Oval Office, Cabinet Room, and other key locations in the White House, and at Camp David--3,700 hours of recordings between 1971 and 1973. Yet less than 5 percent of those conversations have ever been transcribed and published. Now, thanks to professor Luke Nichter's massive effort to digitize and transcribe the tapes, the world can finally read [more printed versions of the conversations of] one of the most important and controversial presidencies in U.S. history"-- Provided by publisher.
