Two reviews borrowed from Amazon.co.uk:
A masterpiece. Magnificent live album
Tremendous concert selections from Colorado in summer 2021. A superb uptempo New Speedway Boogie. Worth the price for the impressive Lost Sailor/Saint of Circumstance medley.
A wonderful sounding, beautifully balanced audio record with lots of Don Was bass driving through. What an impressive guitarist Weir is.
I cannot wait for volume 2 - also put on Third Man Records - later in the year
This record is red hot and essential for any Deadhead. Also a great point to get on the bus.
What a long strange trip it's been.
Weir is (still) here!
If you're a Grateful Dead fan, don't think twice - buy this! Bob Weir is always great, but his back catalogue is hard to come by and I predict that this will be fairly limited addition. The music is great - a sort of rootsy version of the Dead. No lead guitarist, but that works to its advantage. Love Looks Like Rain and Saint of Circumstance, but also enjoying the Dylan cover (Hard Rain) and, of course, Big River. Weir is in good voice and feeling the groove. …. Well worth a getting. I've played this twice in a row tonight and still can't get enough of it! So glad I heard this!
