Free Music Review: Out of this world
Hit: 5 Stars

I have owned this record for probably about ten years, since I was 8 or so, and I never really listened to it because I was addicted to a couple other Picks and great studio albums, and I just never got around to hearing the '77 edition of the Dead. But I picked it up again recently after reading the incredible reviews here, and I can only say that I wish I had done so a lot sooner - my high school self's happiness might have been salvaged had I had this to listen to.

The Music Never Stopped was always one of my favorite songs primarily because of the lyrics, and this disc has a great, short rendition of it at the top of the set (after a somewhat questionable 30-second "Funiculi Funicula"). I never quite took to "Sugaree" until I listened to this version, and I realize now that it is truly an exquisite piece of music. But nothing could have prepared me for what was to come. Lazy Lightning -> Supplication is pretty cool, and had me tapping my feet to its intricate, somewhat lounge-jazzy rhythms and chord progressions. Dancin' in the Streets, now disco-fied, actually pissed me off until I realized that once the first four minutes of the song have passed it really becomes just a vehicle for a 10-minute long funky jam. Then...

HELP ON THE WAY! Oh my dear lord OH OH OH MY GOD! I have always LOVED the studio version of this song on Blues For Allah, but this..... oh my God. I can't even put words into this little box that will come close to getting anyone to understand its majesty. Then Slipknot, and a 15 minute Franklin's Tower BRIMMING with Garcia solos that are just so freaking incredibly happy yet totally sophisticated and complex, I can barely keep myself from smashing my face into the wall and thanking God that I was born after this recording was made so I get to listen to it. So I left disc one in a state of utter shock, having been totally unprepared for what it ended up being.

But I had no idea what was to come - Disc 2 is surely the greatest live recording ever made. Samson & Delilah is a great song with Weir doing a great job keeping the energy up with his guitar and vocals. Sunrise is a brief, interesting, and sad excursion from Donna Godchaux, and it held my attention surprisingly well. Then comes the real meat of this whole package. A 50-minute medley that changed my whole life: Estimated Prophet -> Eyes Of The World -> Wharf Rat -> Terrapin Station -> Morning Dew. I can't really say much more. Wharf Rat is just sublime, Terrapin, Eyes..... nevermind, there's no point. I'm sorry for wasting your time with this review, you should just be listening to this music.
