“though [Jerry Garcia] abhored violance and abjured pain, he enjoyed a certain amount of chaos. The bitter aftermath of Altamont [Free Concert] might have sunk some people, might have torn apart a less tested band. Instead, the Dead bolted out of Altamont and produced not one but two landmark albums in less than a year.”
