Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have been listening to the Dead since 1976 when I saw my first show at the Beacon theatre in NYC. I have heard and colected hundreds of tapes, and more recently, CD's. Believe me when I tell you that, if you like the Grateful Dead, BUY this CD!! The band, in 1972, was at (or beyond!!) the top of it's form. Before the drug problems and comas this was when the Dead were probably one of the best bands bands in the world. The CD starts out with a sweet "Cold Rain and Snow' and takes-off from there. "Playing in the Band" nearly leaves Earth orbit. "Comes a time" is sweet as can be, one of those prortypical slow (Almost frozen in time) Jerry ballads. And check out the Monster Dark Star -> Sugar Mag -> Caution. Caution in '72 - you bet. Fasten your seat -belts and take the phone off the hook.
My only complaint is that whoever did the mix mixed Jerry too loud. I have heard other bootlegs of these shows with a better overall volume balance between all the instuments. Althought I obviously love Jerry's guitar, I prefer a mix that goes more for the overall orchetra or "gestalt" sound. But still, I am very happy with this CD. Actually, more than happy!!
