Tour Head details forty years of crazy road stories, spanning my teen to adult life traveling to experience The Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia Band and now, Dead and Company. Tour Head chronicles the road trips, acid trips, and mind flips, and all the ensuing hijinks that went down inside, outside and in between those hundreds of concerts I attended.
In a sense, we all became an individual part of the Grateful Dead shows and a collective part of the parking lot scene that evolved into “Shakedown Street”. Tour Head rolls down a window to the ways of the road and the extreme lengths Tour Heads will go, sometimes running literally on fumes… all for that miracle ticket to enjoy one more Grateful Dead gig.
A humorous, yet unflinching look at a life spent in pursuit of a musical dream. Told from the perspective of someone who is not a musician in a traveling band, just a rabid fan, so obsessed that darkness would set in if even a few shows were missed!
From being pulled over on acid in Utah, to selling the standard veggie sandwiches, to smuggling weed, to dancing in Madison Square Garden, the stories, much like the music, never stopped. So, I’m telling them to you now, while the most precious memories are still intact! Join myself and my friends on our journey of awakening, experienced on the road, living it up across America, following the legendary tripping earth ship known as The Grateful Dead.

GTFO! Did he go to Gunn High School? I was buds with Ogilvie, too; he gave me my first tapes. Any chance he also knew Peter Kelso, or Jim or Fred Erd, or Rob Cork?
