While many bands-including Cream, Pink Floyd, and the Velvet Underground-stretched out their songs with improvisations, no band was more identified with the practice than the Grateful Dead. In Get Shown the Light Michael Kaler examines how the Dead's dedication to improvisation stemmed from their belief that playing in this manner enabled them to touch upon transcendence. Drawing on band testimonials and analyses of early recordings, Kaler traces how the Dead developed an approach to playing music that they believed would facilitate their spiritual goals. He focuses on the band's early years, the significance of playing Ken Kesey's Acid Test parties, and their evolving exploration of the myriad musical and spiritual possibilities that extended improvisation afforded. Kaler demonstrates that the Grateful Dead developed a radical new way of playing rock music as a means to unleashing the spiritual and transformative potential of their music"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aStudies in the Grateful Dead (Duke University Press) 606 $aImprovisation (Music)$xSocial aspects 606 $aRock music$xSocial aspects$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aRock music$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMUSIC / Genres & Styles / Rock$2bisacsh 606 $aRELIGION / General$2bisacsh 615 0$aImprovisation (Music)$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aRock music$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aRock music$xHistory 615 7$aMUSIC / Genres & Styles / Rock 615 7$aRELIGION / General 676 $a782.42166092/2 686 $aMUS035000$aREL000000$2bisacsh 700 $aKaler$b Michael$0966183 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910886800803321 996 $aGet Shown the Light$94234847 997 $aUNINA
