WOW.

Got the FLACs last night and DaP22 is killer!!!

I've had Charlie's version for a while and it's awesome.

This is a whole other beast. Pigpen shining and lighting it up here... and the bonus 12-6 is comical it's so good.

In your face tightness & goodness!!  I feel bad for Jerry's guitar strings because he is absolutely killing them on this release.  Man this sounds good.

Can only imagine how Betty is going to blow my mind next week with the Box Set approaching fast.  :-)

Yes, DP22 is another gem.  '71 is probably my favorite year and there is not a lot of material available from that year so this is a really cool release.  Sound quality is very good and the performances are representative of '71/'72 era Dead.  Excellent!

I agree this is a good set and also very well produced - I think Jerry's guitar was the ; Alligator during this time and that one along with the Travis Bean which we will be listening to ; a lot next week with the box sets coming and also ; Wolf were my favorite sounds of Jerry's guitars. The sound he got from those three guitars is just plain.....sweetness. Man I miss them.
