Before Nov 2020, grades range from 5 stars 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+), 7 (B+). Ungraded albums are honorable mention :-), neutral :-|, negative :-(. At least 3 listens per album. Search "Grade Post" for more info. [I shelved/sold 10,000-12,000 albums before starting this blog and will add entries for some of those as they come up. If you don't see an album, it doesn't mean I don't know it.]

The Grateful Dead - Nightfall of Diamonds: 3.5 stars
I see why people like this, and was very tempted to buy a new version on Ebay selling for not much more than this would have cost when it was released, adjusted for inflation, plus shipping, but a couple things stopped me. Jerry's voice is shot, first of all, but also Mydland's organ tinkling ruins everything as usual, and I already have Dozin' at the Knick, which was recorded only six months later. Finally, I don't collect live albums at B plus generally, and especially not this band.
