Spent 40 years of my life thinking the Grateful Dead were a boring noodle band with no real songs that you could enjoy without being out of your mind on LSD. This album changed that for me completely. I know most people are not interested but it's a great place to start if you are interested in giving them a try. I am not one of those people that listen to a ton of them, I couldn't tell you what shows are good or what year they are from by listening. But I do like them.
