A Rare and Different Tune: The Seventeenth Annual Grateful Dead Scholars Caucus, 2014.
- 6 x 9 in. | 221 pp.
The 2014 Program was the most ambitious program to date, a full-length volume that presented the conference program in a larger context. After three years of making the conference program a section in a journal, this year’s program had a more unified structure and feel. It is presented here largely as it was first printed, with a few emendations.
