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 liked (fka honorable mention) :-), neutral :-|, and negative :-(. At least 3 listens per posted album. Search "Grade Post" for more info. I shelved/sold ~10,000 albums after at least 3 listens before starting this blog and will add entries for those as they come up. Yes, I know that album (probably).

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.
