Back when I was a teenager, I found myself drawn to the
sprawling tape culture of Grateful Dead performances--an archive of staggering
enormity to which Dick Latvala and David Lemieux have since brought a sense of indexical
order. D.T. Max has used the term "maximalist" to describe the epic ambitions of
David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest and The Pale King, and
that's how I initially felt about the archive of the Dead--that it was seeking
out a course that transcended the component parts of each preserved
performance.
