This CD actually sounds BETTER than the album did in 1975.For all you dead heads,you will find this a treat. The cd player in my 97 nissan likes to play it, which means it will play anywhere.Many feel that American Beauty was their best effort but this one I feel has that "Live dead" quality which will bring fond memories to any of Jerrys' Kids who are still out there. The only thing missing here is that fabulous skull and roses sticker which was with the original album, but worry not, you can get one of those on Ebay!
I originally bought this album when it first came out in the early seventies. The jams on the extended cuts utterly blew me away, and they still do. This was the Dead at their peak, and the music still sounds as fresh as when it first came out. This album, Workingman's Dead, and Aoxaomoxoa should be required listening for anyone interested in the Dead. Some of the best music ever done by anyone. And I'm saying this as someone who thinks that the Dead did some pretty lame stuff sometimes. But when they were good, they could be truly great. And this is as great a live recording as they ever did. A masterpiece.
A great recording of a great American band and a great value. +
