Negative Positive
Title: An unpopular review
Review: While there are a few shining moments on here... this overall is an unworthy purchase. I confess that my personal prefence in live material sways towards the "Primal" period of 69 - 73. Most of the material on here is from the late 80's and reflects many of the weaknesses prevelant in live recordings from this period: Bobby Weir's often jokey / off key vocals and Jerry's sometimes listless playing. The lone track from the early 70's (#6 - It Takes a Lot to Laugh...) is a peach, featuring Dicky Betts playing ying to Jerry's yang in an extended jam. The last track is the only one actually sung by Dylan & is quite an improvement on the universally panned "Dylan & the Dead" material (and shows what that projecct/tour could have sounded like on record if they had meshed a little bit better).But, then that's just my opinion. And opinions are just like [back cracks]..... everyone has one.
Is the review positive or negative?
