This seems to be the same as the standard LITA pressing, or am I missing something? It makes sense they would sell it with their partnership with the Dead but not sure if there is anything special about this version.View attachment 83636

I found this elsewhere for $60. Where DO you want your money to go?

Do I use my $15 off code for this....
Yes. It's brilliant
3 months ago I had zero Dead albums. Now I have 10... I mean on one hand I do not need 11. But on the other hand, currently Dead albums make up 1.9999999 percent of my record collection, can't have that can we? CMOOOON 2%!
I've never listened to Grateful Dead. They have so much stuff I never really new where to jump in. Is this the Dead album I should get?
OH GOD HE ASKED THE QUESTION, THE BEST DEAD ALBUM QUESTION.
BRACE YOURSELVES PEOPLE, THIS IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN TRAINING FOR. NOW I THINK WE ALL KNOW THE NEXT 17 PAGES ARE GUNNA BE ROUGH BUT IF WE STICK TOGETHER WE CAN ALL GET THROUGH THIS.

I'll wade in, only to say that I think it's a fine entry point. It's my favorite "From the Vault" and a gem of a live show. People have their era preferences. This was nearly peak Dead for me. Also one of few bands I'd say listen to live stuff over studio, but it's also a bottomless well. Give it a stream! Europe '72 is amazing as well. And Cornell '77.
So....... if Storf took a holiday & handed you the curation keys for May Essentials, what would be the Dead album would you place as AOTM?

Yup. I'll probably snag it in a few weeks. Spent too much going after hard to get stuff already in the last two weeks.
Thanks for the proper answer. I will dig into some streaming at the weekend.
The only reason I didn't give you an actual answer is I'm not qualified, having purchased all 10 Dead records I own in the past... 3 months.

I really can't get into the Dead, although I love so many bands that they influenced. So it would probably be one of those. Hiss Golden Messenger is one that I've seen cover the Dead, and it sounds so much better to my ears. There are a bunch of bands that I should enjoy and are right up my alley, but just don't catch me....a couple examples are Drive By Truckers and John Prine (although I am getting the VMP ROTM to try and get through that).
