i saw my trusted mog buddy digworm(http://mog.com/digworm) listening to this disc, and with all my tons of dick's picks and other vault releases, i must say this thing holds up well. it is worth it just for the rarely played weir chestnuts, the monkey and the engineer, the race is on and on the road again. and to understand our dear, departed friend garcia, you only need to hear it must have been the roses, china doll and to lay me down. to have birdsong and ripple there as well is just iceing on the cake. sure, purests will say, it is patched together stuff not from one show, not in the proper sequence. don't let that scare you..............do as cutting edge mogger digworm does and put it on. thank you.......and leave it on!

if you hate the grateful dead, this is still a great album. funny, i noticed it in digworms list too and realized i don't have a copy anymore and desperately need one.

gives me chills & i don't even like the dead...but there's a show from this period:
amsterdam "melk weg" 10.16.81 (bobby's b-day) 1st set - acoustic 2nd set - electric (w/borrowed equipment)
hi-qual boot (content/sound)...wow right!

cue - burt b: "what the world needs now..." believe me SS - i find much GD unlistenable (like w/ neil young) - but when they tap (present tense) into the sweetness - it fills my heart right up!

after reading several books, during this period, this was a kinda makeshft deal to change things up a bit. they didn;t even rehearse that much and played without a ton of practice. That is, if you don;t count the 1 million times they played the songs before! great album, and the VHS or DVD of "Dead Ahead" has some of these acoustic performances from Reckoning and Electric from Dead Set. They actually overdubbed on the album Dead Set. Fire on the Mountain has a part of the opening cut-out that only the granola-trained ear can catch. Listen to the album intro and then watch the DVD and you'll notice its the exact same show and performance, but the music disc is missing about 10 seconds before the bubble jerry blast kicks in to start the song. now thats minutia!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!! its over-

good call on the fire, the bubbly space before it is sorta cool. haven't heard it in years
