Originally posted by hakimaWithout a Net is somewhat (albeit gently) maligned in certain quarters, but I loved this [which documents late 89 - early 90] when it came out in 1990 and then went to see them (without Brent Mydland, who had died, and with Bruce Hornsby) later in the year in London.
Without a Net...Grateful Dead
Really, the latter part of 1989 through to the Spring of 1990 was a great period, perhaps their last extended period of relative greatness. Now, of course, all 15 shows from March 1990 have been released in full, along with half a dozen shows from Autumn-Winter 1989, the Without a Net 'compilation' is a bit overshadowed I suppose.
But I still have a soft spot for it. It forms part of my soundtrack for the first year I spent living away from the UK. I shall put it on now and reminisce.
