djmelbatoast Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 This is the best greatest hits album I ever bought. I love THe Harder They COme cover.Both disks are almost 80minutes long. It's about time the record companies started giving us more than a half full disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 I haven't heard that yet. Is it good? I should have used one of these faces I was being severely sarcastic, aiming my sights straight at marketing execs (although this Jerry release seems pretty good, but not the be all and end all). I hate "Best Of" albums, especially when they try to condense a prolific artist's career into a single disc compilation - see Muddy Waters, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Frank Zappa, Charles Mingus, The Grateful Dead etc...

djmelbatoast Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 That's what I normally think. Which is one of the reasons I was so glad that this one was good.Zappa's "Strictly Commercial" and "Cheap Thrills" are lame ass pieces of shit, they were how I was introduced to Zappa though so they can't be all bad.Not to mention that running across old Jerry cds in my town is a one in million shot and I wanted most of these tunes on a well produced cd.

Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 But yeah - the Long Strange Trip and Skeletons in the Closet compilations only kept me away from the Dead for years; it wasn't until I heard proper live recordings that it started to make sense.I look forward to a chance to hear this one, especially given that the "Garcia Estate" makes it so hard to find JGB material floating around in cyberspace for free, as he'd have liked.

[/quote'] I don't think this release is targeted at your typical Garcia fan. This seems like a great melting pot CD displaying the diversity of his best eras and collaborations. This should open up some ears of people that haven't really known Garcia outside of the Grateful Dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afro poppa Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 This looks like a great compilation. Although I think I'd rather spend my CD dollars on discs that aren't mixes of stuff I've heard before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayr Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 I only said "say what you will" expecting some kind of flack over posting a link to download an officially released disc. Some message boards are above downloading (so they say) personally, i'm too broke to spend 30 bucks on a cd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
