Live at Keystone, Vol. 2

by
Merl Saunders & Jerry Garcia
The route that this material took from double-LP form to CD has been spread over a logic-defying series of releases -- many of which (like this one) clock in at under an hour. In essence, these five numbers represent the second disc of the two-record set with the addition of a 1988 remix of "Mystery Train" -- which was not on the LPs or the ...

Fire on the Mountain: Reggae Celebrates the Grateful Dead
(1996)
more music like this
by
Various Artists
It must have seemed a bright idea at first, mixing the Dead with some of the more hallucinatory reggae performers, but the end result is a bit too mediocre to pass muster, with more than a few of the artists indicating almost no knowledge of the Dead in their liner notes -- David Hinds of Steel Pulse gives the strong impression that he only picked ...
