Negative Positive
Title: 50% live
Review: My issue with this is that just like Europe '72, it's been polished up post-production. There are over-dubbed harmonies, studio mastered mixing and the careful removal of mess-ups. Just listen the version of 'Wharf Rat' (my favorite Dead song ever). There are layered tracks of Jerry's voice singing perfect harmonies. What made the Dead great was that they were far from perfect (not including most performances the year 1977) and their imperfections made them one of the last honest and improvisational rock bands out there. If you want real live Dead, stick to Dick's Picks and other new live releases.
