With nearly 70 minutes of music, this disc may be the best buy of the group's three live albums. It features alternate versions of six cuts from the first album, but the rest are previously unreleased tunes, including more numbers from Bill Monroe and other bluegrass greats, and a pair of Garcia-penned instrumentals, "Old & in the Way Breakdown" and "Jerry's Breakdown." This set and That High Lonesome Sound contain informative liner notes about the band and the songs, as well as rare photos.
