Free Music Notes for Ladies & Gentlemen: The Grateful Dead

Free Music Review: Great Stuff; very accessable and good for newbie's (my 1st)
Hit: 5 Stars

The first cd get's you going real well with tracks like truckin', bertha, beat it down the line, the good lovin' is great on this disc, just to name a few. The 2nd is pretty amazing, with sugar magnolia, one of the coolest "wah-wah" solo's along with an explosive rythm section in the last 2 verses, this is actually Duane Allman your hearin'(if i'm not mistaken). This is followed by a completely amazing loser, altough there are better, which slows you down a bit, goes into ain't it crazy, and then slows down again with a slow el paso. Then comes Muddy Waters' I'm a king bee. Ripple, uncle john's band and again, amazing. Turn on your lovelight is a great track pigpen is very much into the groove. What follows is nothing short of perfect, china cat..i know you rider., again nothing like the '73 china>riders with the feelin' groovy jam's in between, but we're two year too early..Then you have great versions of st. steven, and the nfa is absolutely amazing. The next disc starts of with one of my fav. songs, morning dew. There is also a drum solo and jam, which is flawless. This collection is for everyone.

This was my first Live grateful dead compilation/disc/whatever. I completely loved it, it's great for an introduction. You will find, however, that when you get deeper into the vast unknown that is "the grateful dead...live" you will not pay much attention to this recording. I'd say it's a great disc, and anyone who truly appreciates music should have this, all great.

I would reccomend Dicks Picks 8 as a follow up. You should also get a good taste of primal dead (my personal fav). Two from the vault, DP22....oh and you can't go wrong with dp18.
