Too bad a book about one of my favorite albums by one of my favorite bands was so not fun.
In turns way too technical and then too lazy. (Which did make me think for the hundredth time that I really should learn some music theory.) A frenzy of dropped names, bands, and album titles with little context.
There was a weird little detour where said that Phish was Church of the SubGenius to the Dead's Discordianism. That was interesting..

I tried to listen to Phish's A Live One before starting this book but the overall jamminess got on my nerves and I abandoned it.
The book, on the other hand is playful but there are some chapters where Holland goes into technical detail and I found that a bit off-putting. The beginning bit about the band's history and the 'list' chapters are cool though.
