"The Pizza Tapes", although not sure if you now call it a "boot". Cheers,

Mars Hotel, American Beauty, Wake of the Flood, Reckoning.  Just finally found a clean copy of JG: Reflections. I will be playing that soon. American Beauty on early Green label WB sounds exceptional. The Dick's Pick have been available for a while, but I have not heard much feedback on pressing/sound...?

Jafant, not in the series but don't forget 'Wake Up To Find Out' (3-29-90) with Branford Marsalis sitting in...the boys are on fire (as they were most of Spring '90). Most of my friends and I break up the Dead periods by who was on keys. Pig was short lived, Keith was solid but you also had to deal with Donna's vocals which in my opinion were not necessary. With Brent, his harmonizing growl and how he augmented the classics during the Dead's time of need was really remarkable. My only issue with Brent was his original songs. Some don't like the effects he used (or Jerry's mutron) but I could dig it. I've considered collecting the vinyl 'picks' but I am not a huge fan of the late '60's Dead...
