From Library Journal
In a sometimes awkward format inspired by old-fashioned almanacs, former book editor and devoted Deadhead Wybenga divides this unauthorized collection of Grateful Dead miscellanea into four main sections: Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, with each representing a period of the band's history. After providing an annotated calendar for each month in that "season," he then breaks it down into one- or two-year segments introduced by a brief overview. Following each overview is the backbone of the book: commentary on dozens of tapes recorded by fellow Deadheads of what Wybenga considers the band's finest performances. Sidebars add short articles and trivia to the mix. Wybenga is selective, and fans will undoubtedly quibble over his decision to exclude performances from 1976, 1982, 1988, and most of 1992-95. He also relies heavily on undefined slang and abbreviations, clearly intending this book for advanced Deadheads who actively collect and swap tapes of the band's shows. Optional unless demand for all things Dead is high.?Lloyd Jansen, Stockton-San Joaquin Cty. P.L., Cal.

Great Reference
By Steven C. Seachrist
This book was a surprise treat. Wybenga is a real writer and he shares many insights into this endlessly-analyzed band. If you think you know it all about the Dead, read this and discover some hidden gems you may have passed over before. All eras of the band are treated relatively equally, with a few personal biases here and there. I dog-eared a bunch of pages for further study on the Live Music Archive.

If you want a book about the Grateful Dead's MUSIC and shows, this is one of the very best
By Glenn Hall
This is one of the most entertaining and useful books about the Grateful Dead that there is. It EASILY makes my Top 5.
I have an awful lot of books about the Dead. Most of them I have read once and don't ever pick back up. Dead to the Core isn't just fun to read, it is actually one hell of a good resource.
This book works extremely well as a companion to the Taper's Compendium Books (which I also consider to be top notch as far as being something both entertaining and useful for Deadheads).
What makes Dead to the Core particularly notable is that it really focuses on the music and not the ancillary BS. Not only that, but Eric Wybenga really knows the Dead's music. This book has very good general information, background, and descriptions about the various years it covers (e.g., it calls the period that Tom Constanten was with the band, primarily 1969, the Baroque period and describes it well). It has more detailed descriptions about some of the particularly good or notable shows from the periods it describes (a big chunk), as well as just all sorts of useful lists. Some of the lists include particularly good or notable shows from the period being discussed, lists of particularly good versions of songs, lists of particularly good jams, etc.
It is the shows that the author has picked to write about and to include on his lists that reveal both a depth of knowledge that very, very, very few Deadheads can match and, IMHO, pretty discerning taste. For example, I am a big China Cat --> Rider fan. I have actively sought out the best versions I could find. There are a number of excellent versions on the official releases (e.g., Dick's Picks 12 & 19, Dave's Picks 5). My three favorite versions of China--> Rider, however, were not on any of the official releases. Anyway, the author enthusiastically described one version from a show that I hadn't heard before. I knew the show; I have had a copy of part of it for 20 years. The part I did have, however, didn't have the China Cat --> Rider in it. So, I grabbed the full show to listen to the China Cat --> Rider. Anyway, the author nailed it. That version of China Cat --> Rider jumped to the very top of my list, past my prior 3 favorites that hadn't been officially released, past Dick's Picks 12 (6/26/74), etc.
I don't necessarily agree with all aspects of the author's taste or assessment of the Dead's music. For example, he is way, way more enthusiastic about Brent than I ever have been: He appears to regard Brent joining the band as a big plus. I don't. As far as the Dead's keyboard players go, I liked TC best: He knew how to play where he was adding nice stuff without obscuring what Jerry, Bob, and Phil had going on. Keith had his moments in his early years too where he contributed nice stuff without being an obstruction problem.
To my ear, Brent had absolutely no finesse or sense of what worked and what didn't. I think a significant part of that was Brent just being mixed too loud. Way, way too loud most of the time. But still, Brent didn't have lick of sense about when he should be playing and when he shouldn't be playing or playing very, very softly so that he wasn't obscuring the exchanges going on between Bob, Jerry, and Phil.
But, despite having a fundamentally different opinion about the merits of Brent as the Dead's keyboard player, I still have a healthy respect for the author's assessment of when the Dead played well during the Brent years. I enjoy a lot of the music from the Brent years: Some of it is very good. I just find myself thinking how much better it could have been if Brent hadn't been the problem he was. There are some things that Eric points out from the Brent years that I would concur with as being excellent calls. But, frankly, I don't know that period as well as I do their earlier music. So, my only criticism at this point (i.e., until I get a chance to listen the later year stuff that the author points out as being good, but which I have not heard yet), is that he seems a whole lot more enthusiastic about Brent than I am. And that isn't really a criticism: It is a minor difference in taste about part of their whole body of work.
I now regard Dead to the Core as an indispensable resource. It not only has a great deal of information about the music, the choices reveal a very thorough listening foundation and discerning taste for their earlier material, which is what I am most familiar with. Dead to the Core has joined Taper's Compendium Vols. 1 and 2, and Deadbase as the reference resources I use when I am evaluating which shows to try to add to my collection (I don't try to get everything: I try get the best stuff).
What is particularly impressive is that Dead to the Core was written in 1997. The author had managed to acquire and listen to one heck of a lot music for back then (presumably tapes, at least for the most part back then). I collected tapes myself for about 20 years before computers and digital stuff suddenly made widely available a whole lot more stuff and usually a whole lot better quality stuff (at least in terms of having a copy that was closer to the original source rather than multiple tape dub generations back). It was much more of a pain back then, but the author obviously managed to acquire a remarkable amount of material to listen to.
I actually wish the author would do a second edition to Dead to the Core, or another similar work that includes discussion of the shows that have become available since 1997. There is a substantial amount of material out there now that was not available in 1997, or had very, very limited availability. I have no doubt that if the author did an update, second edition or whatever, it would be high quality and very useful.
Dead to the Core is a great resource book about the Grateful Dead's music as well as a very fun read. I highly recommend it.
(For good books that are not quite as much reference-type material, Phil Lesh's "Searching for the Sound" is superb: It is not only a great read, it offers insight at a level that nothing else can. Blair Jackson's "The Music Never Stopped" and "Garcia" are also excellent books of a more general nature.)
