This Grateful Dead day planner-plus is both a practical tool and a heady survey of the seminal band's history. Extensively illustrated with archival artwork and Jay Blakesberg's black-and-white and color photographs, this planner is not year-specific, giving it a usage life of three to four years. There are 21 pages for notes, set lists, Dead tour information, phone numbers, and an additional 60 pages for keeping track of day-to-day appointments and important dates. Each month has five spreads; the fifth spread contains four years of small calendars to use as a reference point in this perpetual calendar. At a time when almost everyone uses some sort of day planner, this is both an important tool for everyday life and a fun reminder of the enduring appeal and power of the band that remains a cultural phenomenon.
