I threw on a pair of headphones and was amazed at the extra texturing and layers that were reveled during the remastering process. I won't go into details here, but instead highly suggest that you experience it for yourself.
In appreciation of my wife’s permission to buy the player, I purchased this album for her.
Yep, she has been to over 260 shows, and I could not go wrong with this “Beauty” of an album.
It was on the platter and playing within minutes of her opening the present. It sounded so rich and warm, and full of eye-closing reminiscent memories accompanied by her joyful smile.
Which one do I buy next?
The original album (Disc 1) sounds a bit more open and clean which is always nice even if its not worlds away different sounding from the last reissue. Nothing really has to be said about this set of tunes--one of the best studio albums the band ever released.
The live show (Discs 2-3) is well worth hearing. Mixed from 16 track analog master tapes, and recorded by Bob Mathews and Betty Cantor (a "Bob and Betty"tape) the show is one great performance after another. Plus the debut of five new songs: "Playing In The Band", "Bertha", "Wharf Rat", "Loser", and "Greatest Story Ever Told". Plus there's a great 21 + minutes "Dark Star>Wharf Rat>Dark Star" jam that's a good example of the Dead's approach to their music during this era. But the entire show is pretty inspired sounding, ranking near the top of other good shows we've heard. Ned Lagin ("Seastones") sat in with the band for added flavor. There's also good live versions of "Truckin'", "Loser", "Hard To Handle", "Big Boss Man", "Playing In The Band", "St. Stephen", and "Uncle John's Band" among other tunes.
The packaging is similar to previous anniversary reissues. The discs snap into trays. There's an informative 20 page booklet with a fairly lengthy essay by David Browne and some period photos and note from producer David Lemieux. There's also a photo of artist Alton Kelley in his studio with the cover graphic on his worktable--a nice touch. The four-fold cardboard packaging comes in an open ended slipcase card with an embossed cover graphic--no lenticular cover--which would've looked quite nice considering the Kelley graphic. There's a track list for the live show and recording/production credits on two inside panels. The back cover has the original album graphic and a complete list of tracks for the three CDs.
As most everyone would agree, this album can easily sit alongside any other great studio album the Dead ever released. And having a great show from around the same era is what a lot of fans will gravitate towards. This is well worth adding to your shelf of great Dead reissues.
