Friend of the Devil: My Wild Ride with Jerry Garcia and Grateful Dead (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798886741681)

The inside story of Jerry Garcia and Grateful Dead from one of the few non-band members allowed in the band's inner circle: videographer, Len Dell'Amico. From 1980 to 1995, he witnessed brilliance, love, happy chaos, and pot. Lots of pot.

This a story of Jerry Garcia and Grateful Dead from the band's videographer of 15 years, Len Dell'Amico. He was one of the few non-band members allowed into their inner circle. At a time of tremendous creative growth and record sales, Dell'Amico found himself at Garcia's side as a trusted voice while Grateful Dead became a force in the 1980s. Using his skills as a multi-camera live video director, the band and Dell'Amico were able to create amazing concert films and music videos. Along the way, Jerry Garcia flashed his genius, eccentricity, generosity of spirit, and emotional depth through his music and relationships with the crew. Friend of the Devil is a rare look at Grateful Dead and how beloved Jerry Garcia was before he passed away at the age of 53.
