Dark star is one of my favorite GD songs, so this album was a must buy for me.

the album review description at the top of the page talks about tracks that arent even listed. I have noticed this is the case with many of the descriptions on the deads albums
- Good, but not Grate

I think this compilation could have been a lot better, especially with the choices of the live tracks. I personally have all of these live albums of which these songs came from, and many more. and they could have picked some better concerts to pull the songs from. The live at the fillmore east, if it is the 71 concert, then that is the best one on here. It was one of their best concerts ever played.
Ripple is a great song, but it wasn't suppose to be a great song. many people enjoy it as do i, but the dead meant it to be a filler song on "american beauty". Most of the live concerts are from the 70's here, which is good b/c that was the prime of Jerry's voice.
- don't let the "best of" turn you away!

is this a re-issue, or are the Dead actually being pushed towards the general public? long live jam bands, long live great music (not ANY on the radio), and long live Jerry! this is a good starter cd with some amazing versions of some of their tunes (Cosmic Charlie, Tennessee Jed, St. Stephen), but its only a start! delve into and get lost in the Dead, and branch off from there! If you ARE a Deadhead, check out Moses Guest, the Big Wu, Quactus, Banooba, BuzzUniverse, the Heavy Pets, as well as Moe, Umphrey's, Tea Leaf, Widespread, Keller (the more well-knowns)...the list goes on...
