CommentI have long felt that the final years of the Grateful Dead are best represented not by complete shows but by compilations of stand-out tracks. I hope this collection, a labor of love, proves me right. It consists of two volumes, each containing roughly four hours of music arranged into the usual two-sets-and-an-encore format.

All tracks are SBD/AUD matrixes, mixed and mastered by me from freely available sources. I have endeavored as far as possible to let the quality of the performances determine the song selection, but in making my decisions, I have also taken into consideration the quality of the available sources. In every case, I have done my best with what's freely available.

I want to thank everyone involved in recording, transferring, and distributing the sources used in this collection. Charlie Miller deserves special thanks, obviously and forever. I would also like to express my gratitude to the folks at BCE, LosslessLegs, and archive.org, without whose efforts this project would be far poorer than it is.

(PS: Anyone got unreleased SBD or AUD sources for 3/27/94 or 6/25/95? The available sources leave much to be desired.)
