COMMUNITY REVIEWS

A Masterpiece submitted by kencza on July 10, 2020, 8:21pm So many classic Dead songs and a sound that set the stage for rock/country/folk crossover music that would be later imitated but never really captured the same way. Like it's sister LP " American Beauty" this one is chock full of Dead standards that would played for decades at concert performances. Some of these include Uncle John's Band, Casey Jones, New Speedway Boogie, Dire Wolf, and Cumberland Blues.

Amazing submitted by SaraP on August 5, 2020, 11:27pm Their first truly stunning, crowd-pleasing studio set. While Anthem of the Sun showed their greatness, this album opened them up to a bigger audience. Every song is great... and fun... and sing-along-able.
