I play this album more than any Grateful Dead studio albums. Half of the disc is Garcia fronting the Dead; the other half is dominated by players from his mid-'70s solo group, with Nicky Hopkins shining on piano. "Comes a Time" and "Might As Well" are the strongest of the Dead tunes, but my favorite cuts are with the solo band - "Mission in the Rain" and Allen Toussaint's beautiful "I'll Take a Melody."
