This was the first live 1978 Dead ever released, as it happens - Dick famous disliked the year, so it came out after he passed. But this collection is EASILY the best live 1978 you can listen to - from February, before the band began to sludge up a bit (largely due to Keith becoming less creative on keys). As a Dick's Pick, this mixes and matches tracks from different dates - which works beautifully. In fact, this is the way to hear these shows, the best of 1978.

Man this DP was the first I ever got my hands on. I remember leafing through a set of discs in a real old drum of an indoor market. The discs were in clear plastic covers held together by an elastic band. Man what a trip. I played it later that night at this scene man and I don't think I've ever stopped playing it. That BEW solo plays in a loop in my mind all of the time. Like the tangible kaleidoscope of colours from some heavy dose it just lives there man and it's welcome baby. The Dead are where it stops and starts man. If you've not heard this knockout from Dane County then don't sleep on it. The band are on fire. X

The guitar solo(s) on BEW is hands down the best guitar solo i’ve ever heard. EVER!
