Free Music Review: Outstanding Compilation Priced Well
Hit: 5 Stars

I am fairly new to the Grateful Dead, this being the first compilation by them that I have purchased. That being said, I am overly satisfied at my purchase as this 4 Disc set offers some classic live performances of hit songs as well as others, at a low, affordable price. Probably the best feature to this compilation is that you get over 3 hours of extraordinary Grateful Dead music which all newcomers and Dead Heads can appreciate. We get nearly all the classics with some exceptional performances, especially on Discs 1 and 3. Also, we hear some wonderful impromptu Jams by the crew as well as a few drum solos.

I definitely found this to be the perfect buy for me, as someone looking into the music of the Grateful Dead. At the time of my purchase, I was only familiar a few of their most well known tracks, and now I adore numerous tracks.
I found the only low point of the compilation in its entirety was Disc 4, seemingly slower paced and less lyrically driven as the others. I find a few tracks on that Disc tend to drag on. Other than that small flaw that some will not even be bothered by, this is an excellent live set of discs from a great band, featuring some superb performances.
Song Highlights:

Bertha: A wonderful opening to the 1st disc, featuring some fantastic piano work by Keith Kreutzmann. Unfamiliar with this track, I immediately caught on to it, loving the sensational flow and lyrical delivery.

New Minglewood Blues: A great track, and I found it to be the superior of the other version found on Disc 3. A very fun song.

Dancing in the streets(Disc 2): A great track, with a beautiful flow to it and a great musical harmony. One of the highlights on Disc 2.

Sugar Magnolia: A classic Grateful Dead track, and a perfect way to end the disc. This is a very well orchestrated, extended version of the song.

It's all over now: A great performance by the crew, and a sensational song.

Friend of the devil: Possibly the most popular song on this compilation, we get a great performance once again, and Jerry Garcia does a great job with the lyrics.

Johnny B. Goode: A beloved song among Dead Heads, the Grateful Dead have a wonderful interpretation of Chuck Berry's hit song. Another great performance by the crew too.

So in conclusion, I don't see how you can go wrong with this compilation, as it displays the live talent of Grateful Dead, as well as giving us over 3 hours of sensational music at a low price. You won't regret purchasing this 4 Disc Set if you are a Dead Head fan, or are interested in their music.
