5.0 out of 5 stars impossible task 17 April 2010

By Mr Blackwell TOP 500 REVIEWER

Format:Audio CD

This is a superb introduction to the Grateful Dead,an impossible task to complete on 1 disc and ultimately is woefully inadequate.That someone tried we should be 'Grateful' as it is a career spanning compilation.

All the user friendly tracks are here so no 'Dark Star' for example but is a gentle intro to the 'Dead's world and gives a little glimpse,no more,if you like what you hear,dip your toes further,its a rewarding journey

The music is sublime almost to my ears country rock with some 60's acid rock thrown in,an ever evolving musical journey awaits the listener,once hooked you will want more.

5.0 out of 5 stars SUPERB INTRO TO A CLASSIC BAND 3 May 2004

By Mark

Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase

Featuring a lot of their "user friendly" tunes, this is a pretty comprehensive and wide-ranging overview of the band's career. With over almost 40 years and umpteen albums behind them, there will always be debates about what could / should / shouldn't be included but this is a great selection for the uninitiated and a superb introduction. It majors on the more accessible material and is a great 70 minutes of melodic, country-ish, inventive Rock. If you don't know or only barely know the Dead, this is the place to start.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Dead!!! 27 Feb 2011

By J. Oon

Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase

Recommended compilation for those new to the Dead. You can't go wrong with this.
Old style country music fused with psychedelia, rock, and good old fashion twangly janggly guitar...
ah... all I need now is beer and some peanuts.

Great sound and packaging as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars The 'DEAD' what more can be said?

I remember their gig at the Roundhouse many aeons hence, even the bog paper was spiked with Acid, oh happy days. A great album of fond remembrances for me.
