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 - Without a Net: 3.5 stars
A few reasons why I won't be getting this: I generally don't buy B plus live albums, particularly by the Dead; some of the songs on this one go on way, way too long; Mydland's tinkling is at its most obnoxious; this is from the exact same period as Dozin' at the Knick (and even has one song recorded at the same series of shows); and it's one of those "compilation from a series of different live dates" albums.
