4.0 out of 5 stars Possibly the Dead's finest live album., March 22, 2000
Yes, yes, I know, that's a lot like picking the best James Bond movie. With an insane number to pick from, why choose one? Not to mention the fact that I hate live albums to begin with. So why do I buy them?

Because every now and then I come across one like this that makes it worth it. An album that sounds completely new even if I've heard every song before. No other "China -> Rider" I've ever heard can match this one. No "Eyes of the World" has this one's lulling beauty. No other "Cassidy" has the fire heard here. The first time I heard this "Help -> Franklin's Tower" I had to stop what I was doing just to listen to the playing. (Lucky I wasn't on the highway at the time.) This is the Dead in peak form: playing as if they're sharing one mind. Listen and be carried away...

5.0 out of 5 stars Mellow, but Rich and Exciting, June 30, 2000
By kireviewer (Sunnyvale, Ca United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
This CD (which was taken from shows during '89 to '90) is different than the other live Grateful Dead CD's. It is mellow and light without being boring like Reckoning. It is also rich and lush, with a light jazz influence. The sound is closest to Wake of the Flood, but the songs are all stretched out. It does have the famous Grateful Dead jamming, but with the harsh psychodelic/acid edge removed. It is sort of like something Sade would record if she were to take LSD. You can really get into this album, but at the same time it is one of the few Dead albums that could be used as background music for a Sunday brunch.

Eyes of the World is especially spectacular with the Brandon Marsalis sax solo. If you really like this, you might want to check out Marsalis's sax solo on Widespread Panic's "Light Fuse and Get Away"

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the buy, April 7, 2004
By A Customer
To start off i am a huge grateful dead fan and i have prabably about 150 cd's that cover many years of there carrer. This release is very good and worth buying. it has some great music on it and the price of the album is worth the eyes of the world with Branford Marsalis on the sax alone. All and all this was among my first bunch of grateful dead cd's that i got and it got me hooked so do yourself a favor if you are thinking about listening to the grateful dead and you want to hear something from the 1990 era buy this cd. But i would also get something from the 77 era too.

Some music is so good and soulful that it brings tears. Several of these tracks do just that. You don't have to be a deadhead to love good music!
