Title: There is nothing like a grateful dead concert.
Review: Every time I hear this album, I am envious of those who were lucky enough to be there for the halcyon days of the dead. From the mindbending Dark Star to the superlative St. Stephen>Eleven, what more could you have asked for? But, then begin the first notes of Lovelight, and I can envision Pigpen strolling out from stage left (where he stood in those days), grabbing the microphone and belting out THE SONG (Lovelight) on this album. If you want to hear someone give his heart and soul to the music, just listen to this song. No wonder he and Janis were soul mates. Indeed, even Jerry loosens up and lets us hear it from his soul on Death Don't ... Amazingly enough, this compilation of songs spanned performances from 1/26/69 to 3/2/69. It goes to show you how incredible this band was playing during this period. GET THIS ALBUM, then get the bootlegs from this period.
