Not your run of the mill review there. BTW I still haven't checked out Ladies and Gentlemen ... The Grateful Dead. I figured I'd wait until I really really want to hear it.

Picked up both Ladies and Gentlemen and So Many Roads this week, found some good prices on both these two fat boys. Got to say, two of the best - sound quality mostly better than the DPs I've heard too. After only one full listening of both, I disagree with this reviewer - I think Ladies and... kicks 'em all. Fits together a bit more coherently than the patchwork of So Many too. 'Course, I'm biased toward this period. A steal at $25. It has the burnin' Hard to Handle and Alligator jams that I've got on tape, but some of the other versions are different than the ones I had already (mostly equally good). Takes awhile though to get used to the different mix - the bass is downplayed a bit on the CD (revenge on Phil ?), and Weir's amped a little higher (maybe too much). Still and all, the article had it right about L&G on this --- (With Pigpen gone, and his roster of tunes gone with him, Garcia would never quite sound as continuously menacing — as gloriously, penetratingly sinister — again.) No sparkly dust here !
