Diary of a Melomaniac

Before 11/2020, grades range from 5 to 3.5 stars. After that, grade range is: 10 (A+), 9.5 (high A), 9 (A), 8.5 (high A-), 8 (A-), 7.5 (high B+), and 7 (B+). Ungraded albums are noted as liked :-) (honorable mention), neutral :-|, and disliked :-(. At least 4 listens per graded album and 3 listens per ungraded album. Search "Grade Post" for more info. I sold/shelved ~10,000 albums after at least 3 or 4 listens, respectively, before starting this blog and will add entries for those as they arise.

The Grateful Dead - Dave's Picks Volume 8 [Fox Theatre, Atlanta, GA, November 30, 1980]: 7 (B+)

The grade is only for the second set. I listened to this because of the fawning review in that long New Yorker article by Nick Paumgarten. It was fine (started out better than it finished). Because of this reaction, I never even listened to the first set, since even Paumgarten raved only about the second, as I remember. # [live]
