Reviews

Grateful Dead: To Terrapin: Hartford, ‘77

By Craig Carson

This release won't convert the non-believer, but pristine sound quality and an enthusiastic performance make it a worthy, if somewhat unnecessary, addition to the band's legacy. [4 June 2009]

Grateful Dead: Three From the Vault

By Greg M. Schwartz

Not one of the Grateful Dead’s “holy grail” performances, but the band is definitely on and the sound is as pristine as anything the band has released. [3 August 2007]
