Searching for the Sound: My Life with the Grateful Dead

New York Times–Bestseller: An “engrossing memoir” by the Grateful Dead bassist, “as graceful and sublime as a box of rain” (The New York Times).

In Searching for the Sound, legendary bass player Phil Lesh tells the full, true story of his years with Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead, a memoir of life in the greatest improvisational band in American history. He shares the stories behind the songs, tours, and jams in the Dead’s long, strange trip from the 1960s to the death of Jerry Garcia in 1995 and beyond. From Ken Kesey’s acid tests to the Summer of Love to multi-platinum albums and worldwide tours, the Dead’s story has never been told as honestly or as memorably as in this remarkable memoir.

“As an original, 40-year band veteran, his unparalleled insider perspective, along with his sly, ironic humor, makes for an insightful and entertaining read.” ―Austin Chronicle

“A lively read, with just the right mix of dirt, drugs, and diligent tour diaries.” —Entertainment Weekly

“It’s the small, intimate moments Lesh shares that make the book so special.” —San Francisco Chronicle

“A fun ride . . . Even for the most well-read Deadhead, there’s enough between the covers to make Searching for the Sound worth a look.” —Associated Press
