Best Album Ever...Since I was 10 a kid. Still loving the Dead Life and always loving Bob Weir for continuing the to create and carry on the music.... all throughout my life. I respect Bob Weir for continuous progression throughout his life and musical career. It is excellent to see a shining star.

On Eyes. Wish they would release more of the band's shows with Branford Marsalis and Bruce Hornsby. Great stuff.

The notes Garcia hits in Althea are magical and i really like the tempos on these songs.
The Branford "Eyes" is Epic!

I have several albums of the dead; heard them live a couple of times back in the day when they were just another v good band --before the dead head phenom started and in a sense ruined the band.
This is not a very good album --some strange keyboard undead like sounds; sax --horrible soft jazz sax-- in at least one number; "birdsong" though is a pretty good number.
Garcia's playing hides a lot behind another lead guitar player or keyboard or sax; I miss how he plays in other albums or performances when he's just jamming with Lesh and Weir. Best album? I give it two and half stars.
Keep going back to it

This collection of tour performances is amazing. I find myself going back to it a lot and particularly the Eyes of the World w/ Branford accompanying. The band truly captures 13+ minutes of in-formation flight and Garcia's melody and barrage of expression is worth coming back to for a lifetime of inspiration.
Best pigpen ever

Every song on this album is fantastic. The keyboards on let it grow kill me every time. Grateful Dead's greatest album, period.

I have dozens of recordings and albums of the Dead and this is definitly competing for number 1. This recording is superior to the dick's picks by far. Every guitar note is crisp and clear. The set list has alot of popular songs but these versions are some of the greatest. I'd give this album some seroious thought folks.
Smokin' set from 89 and 90.

This is a fantastic collection of dead tunes from a time period that, for the most part, was a good one for the band. I am not new to the dead as I have been to multiple shows, and traded tapes back in the day. The Birdsong, Let it Grow, and Eyes are worth it just by themselves. Having been to most of the West Coast shows during this time period I am of course not objective about this album; many wonderful memories... if you are new to the Dead this is a very good collection to get your feet wet. For all the Heads out there, keep the faith and keep listening. It was one hell of a strange trip and I for one have no intention of getting of the bus just yet. Let us all take care of each other! It was wonderful seeing everyone this summer for Dead 2009.
