Producer Gary Lyons did a nice job of recording the band; unfortunately most of the material hadn't been played much onstage yet, so the songs sound "young" in Grateful Dead terms. The zippy "Alabama Getaway," which was nearly a hit single, is still fun and frisky. Most of the other highpoints are in Weir's songs — "Lost Sailor," "Saint of Circumstance" and "Feel Like a Stranger."
