Awesome on Compact Disc The songs are great the musicianship and performances are great you'll wanna listen to this album over and over again. A must have for anybody who loves great music. Do yourself a favor and get a hold of this music as fast as you can your ears will thank you.
My fortunate ears
I feel very fortunate to have been given the chance to see these two live, and this album captures what many of us experienced so well. I had the great pleasure of seeing many Grateful Dead shows, but the few Garcia/Grisman shows that I managed to catch were some of the most surprising, refreshing, and musically impressive. Ahhh, memories :-) .
Hell Yeah this is great
It introduced me to both Garcia and Grisman. It made me move to the south and inspite of that I still love this album. I never liked the Dead but this showed me a different side of Jerry. BLUEGRASS!!!!.
Intimate, sweet and sublime
Unpretentious and very enjoyable to hear. Nice new material. Nothing gets in the way.
Nice sound of a slightly hypnotic banjo, but not much else
It's a nice sound, but at the half way through every song you start to wish there was something more to it. It's kind of hypnotic, the sound of that banjo. May be, if you could fall asleep in the middle of every song and then wake up just when it ends. . . Songs are lame. I didn't take notice on the lyrics, but don't believe there's anything special there either. In fact, in this whole album, there's nothing special there, except that nice sound of a banjo. All in all, it's pretty lame.
