...presents a complex but rounded picture of a band that was both deeply traditional yet genuinely avant-garde, fiercely independent yet--at least in its latter years--undeniably mainstream, apolitical yet politically challenging.

Synopsis
Listening for the Secret is a critical assessment of the Grateful Dead and the distinct culture that grew out of the group's music, politics, and performance. With roots in popular music traditions, improvisation, and the avant-garde, the Grateful Dead provides a unique lens through which we can better understand the meaning and creation of the counterculture community. Marshaling the critical and aesthetic theories of Adorno, Benjamin, Foucault and others, Ulf Olsson places the music group within discourses of the political, specifically the band's capacity to create a unique social environment. Analyzing the Grateful Dead's music as well as the forms of subjectivity and practices that the band generated, Olsson examines the wider significance and impact of its politics of improvisation. Ultimately, Listening for the Secret is about how the Grateful Dead Phenomenon was possible in the first place, what its social and aesthetic conditions of possibility were, and its results. This is the first book in a new series, Studies in the Grateful Dead .

- s***- (235)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe cd arrived on time and in excellent condition. The quality of the recording is super for a live show and the playing is amazing. Fans of Duane Allman should check out John Stachela's slide guitar. He is technically gifted and a true artist in his own right, not just a copycat. But he has clearly studied, not only Duane's style, but his unique tone as well. All ABB covers, but no more a "tribute" than any of the "Instant Live" recordings. A great value and a "must have".
