SWEET CHAOS- THE GRATEFUL DEAD'S AMERICAN ADVENTURE by Carol Brightman

Finished Th 4/25/14

Carol Brightman was a political activist and her sister, Candace, was the Dead's lighting designer for over a quarter century. The book is a blend of 60's political activism and an insider's peek into the band.

She promotes the notion that the audience is encouraged to become the 'seventh member of the band'. And, that the 'Dead Community' or 'Deadheads' and their social structure became more important than the music.
