Free Music Notes for Go To Nassau

Free Music Review: Mandatory Dead.
Hit: 5 Stars

After becoming obsessed with the Dead about two months ago, I've obtained in various ways a fairly large number of their live CD releases, though seeing as there are about sixty of them released, I am nowhere CLOSE to having them all. So far, I haven't found a "vault" release that I like better than this one, including the famous Closing of Winterland and England '72 4-disc sets.

Sound quality: Excellent. The instruments all come through clearly and are perfectly balanced in the mix. As an added bonus, some of the audience noise is mixed in. This adds a lot to the songs; the opening strains of "Franklin's Tower" sound especially powerful when the crowd cheers loudly after hearing them.

Song choice: Again, excellent. Most of the "classics" are here, along with some rarities. Pretty much every song from Go To Heaven worth listening to also makes an appearence, which is really convenient for those of us who want to hear them without wasting money on a studio album with a notoriously tacky cover. There's also a welcomed absence of some of the more obnoxious "cowboy songs" that can make the first sets of some performances quite tedious and hard to sit through.

Performance quality: Excellent for the third time! The band is clearly not "dead;" in fact, they seem more vibrant than usual. Lots of great jamming in pretty much every song, especially "Franklin's Tower" and "New Minglewood Blues," plus no little mistakes that can drag down an otherwise exemplary performance (see "The Other One" from Dick's Picks 5). Granted, there isn't any free form, "Live Dead" kind of stuff, but there's plenty of CD's out there filled with it (see Dick's Picks 16 discs 2 and 3), so I don't see it as a necessary addition to a Grateful Dead live album.

Bottom line: This is one of the few Dead albums that I'd rate as completely essential. Perfect for someone who likes Live/Dead, Anthem of the Sun, and/or Blues for Allah but isn't quite comfortable with the "roots rock" that defined a good deal of the Dead's playing. This sounds more like a "jamming" version of Radiohead than the better-than-average Southern rock band that recorded Europe '72. Recommended for anyone interested.

Oh. And don't get all intimidated by the fact that this was recorded in 1980, depsite the fact that the Dead arguably hit their apex in 1969. Just remember: in the same year, Pink Floyd released The Wall... and they'd been around for just as long.
