I'm breaking protocol and posting the cover anyway, because this show seems beloved by so many (and I also like the cover). But the acoustic set seems a little boring to me during three good listens, and the solos on the electric sets are the kind that look good on the outside but are empty on the inside. I think having Keith Godchaux in the mix brought out the best in Jerry Garcia, and I loved what Donna's vocals did for the band. She wasn't just a beautiful face, although I think sometimes people denigrate her that way.
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.
