Rare and perfect jem,
This review is from: Without a Net: Live (Audio CD)
This album has it all...it shows the range of the Dead during an interesting time of their lives. Jerry is actually sober and can play the songs the way only he could. They infuse jazz and funk into several of the songs in ways i have not heard on other live recordings, namely "Althea" and "Eyes of the World". This is such a great album for someone who is interested in the Dead, but has no idea where to start collecting. Start hear...here...and then go back to the beginning and listen to the growth and progression...and then you have to start collecting the [...] Picks, and any other live shows you can lay your hands on...Man cannot live by Dead alone...but it is worth a try...peace.

Little to complain about,
By Owen Hughes (Montreal, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Without a Net: Live (Audio CD)
Yes: no Pigpen. But lie back and savour this Garcia/Kreutzman/Lesh/Weir/Hart (and friends) concert. No real Dead fan could be dismayed, although as a Traffic fan, I admit I almost wish they hadn't tried to fool with Dear Mr. Fantasy, which for reasons unkown to this writer, seems to be just outside the range of this magical band. But I can get over that. These were some of the best years the group enjoyed. Their fans were suddenly appreciating them worldwide and they toured a lot. Even though my favourite Dead album remains American Beauty, I love this later stuff, and there is some particularly fine material to be found in the second set, including the medley Help on the Way/Slipknot/Franklin's Tower, which is absolutely classic Dead. And anyway, if Brandford Marsalis can decide to turn out and blow a tune with these guys, it's not because the group itself has anything to be ashamed of. On the contrary...

Some of the BEST Live Dead Available on CD...,
By
This review is from: Without a Net: Live (Audio CD)
I HIGHLY recommend Without a Net - it's one of the BEST commercially-produced live GD CDs you can buy (tied with 'Dozin at the Knick' for 1st place, in my opinion!). Definitely pick this one up...
CD1 is a bit more mellow, but the band and music are still soooo tight. Some of my disc-1 favorites are "Feel Like a Stranger", "Cassidy" and "Bird Song", but the entire CD rocks - it's a great warm-up for Disc-2... CD2 has some of the best Grateful Dead I've ever heard - hard to believe, considering this is NOT '70s GD, it's late '80s / early '90s GD! There's no point in listing a few of my favorites from disc-2, because I'd have to name EVERY track! But if I had to pick just one song, it would be "Eyes of the World" with Branford Marsalis on saxophone. Every time I listen to this disc I'm totally blown away by how tight Jerry and Branford are, how easily they're able to "weave" their improvisations into ONE incredibly cohesive "jam" - it's like they could read each others' minds and knew EXACTLY what direction the other was headed (my words can never do it justice though - you need to hear "Eyes" with your own EARS and you'll see what I mean! :) DEFINITELY a must-have for ANY GD fan - from beginners on up. A+++!!!
