"Grateful Dead: World at Their Command" is a travelogue scrapbook chronicling the band's numerous forays outside the United States. Following the band's Europe '72 tour, which yielded the platinum-selling three-album set "Europe '72" and proved that the Dead had an international following, the Dead repeatedly toured throughout Europe, Egypt, and the Caribbean until 1990, bringing their music to the world and developing a truly global audience. Many of these concerts were exceptionally memorable, imbuing their venues with Dead lore and providing rare keepsakes and ephemera. The collectible artwork, photographs, posters, handbills, tickets, advertisements, and memorabilia--along with on-the-spot tales, reminiscences, and concert reviews--form the basis of this commemorative compendium. Full of the minutiae Deadheads thoroughly enjoy and collect, "Grateful Dead: World at Their Command" is the first book to chronicle the band's overseas adventures in full.
