Customer Reviews I was at this concert, but I NEVER knew it was on CD Forget The Blues Brothers. I was at this concert, but I NEVER knew it was on CD and it was a fabulous show ! With Quicksilver Messenger Service to boot. Their performance is a throwaway and even tho the entire Dead had the flu, it was still something to see and experience after having gone to Winterland, pretty much once week if not more than that for about 8 years. I hope you're sittin down, because the regular price at Winterland for this period was $4. 50-$5. 00 Special shows like The Who were a whopping $20, as was The Last Waltz, I think $35, maybe less. I saw everyone who was anyone from 1970 to the closing, including "The Last Waltz", Peter Frampton, when "Frampton Comes Alive" was recorded, as well as The Who when they recorded their live album, Tommy Bolin, Jo Jo Gunne, Dave Mason, (a half million times) Johnny Winter (35 times), Traffic, Stevie Winwood, Eric Clapton, Santana (a half million times), Montrose with Sammy Hagar, 1st album, Journey, Lynard Skynard for the 1st LP, with 3 guitarists and the entire southern rock thing I saw The Dead 45 times at Winterland, including the show they recorded with their "Wall of Sound" speaker/amplifier setup for the "Steal Your Face" movie, which was actually the very 1st time I PAID to see the Dead. I had seen them for free in Golden Gate Park 8 times previous. I hope you take this review and post it ! GET THIS CD SET ! David Singer . The one I keep coming back to.... It has everything, including some sit-ins that really compliment the sound (beginning on "I Need a Miracle" you hear the harmonica infused) along with John Cippolina from Quicksilver on the 20 minute marathon "Not Fade Away". DO NOT HESITATE-I've acquired many dead shows through various means and this is the one I keep coming back to. This show has it all, please do not wait, I say this for your own good, it is worth twice what you can get it for. 4 cds for 20 bucks, that's 5 bucks a disc. You deserve it!. Must Have For any Dead fan or anyone wanting to give live Dead shows a shot, a fantastic choice. A classic album; one of my favorites. HIGHly recommended. .
