4.0 out of 5 stars Just gets better and better ..., January 16, 2002
By jumpy1 (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
I bought this album because it's considered a classic, and because I love the fiddle stylings of Vassar Clements. At first I was irked by some out-of-tune vocal harmonies (it's live, after all). But I kept the album on and set the CD player to continuous play. Well, the second time it started at the beginning, I was hooked. I listened a couple more times and had to force myself to turn it off. It is really a true gem of an album. Vassar's fiddling is top-notch, a great example of his classic licks and style. Garcia, Grisman and Rowan also rock. This is indeed a classic bluegrass album, and should be in any respectable collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bluegrass lovers, July 27, 1999
This CD is great! If you are not a bluegrass fan, it will certainly make you one! Some of Jerry Garcia's finest work without his electric guitar. He sure picks a mean banjo!

5.0 out of 5 stars High Lonesome Sound, January 1, 2008
Great sound, especially for a live performance. Too bad they couldn't have stayed together longer.

Old and in the way bluegrass is always the best. A rich mix of the old timers and younger guys playing and picking.

This awesome album combines the signature rough vocals of Jerry Garcia (who also plays banjo!) with the crisp mandolin sound of David Grisman, agile fiddling of Vassar Clements,... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars top notch stompin' fun!
Listen to this classic, bluegrass sound and you'll be hard pressed not to become a foot stompin', leg-smackin bluegrass fanatic in no time. This is blue ribbon bluegrass!
