Summary: The Dead's set probably doesn't sound like this.
Comment: Maybe if they have a "Gram Parsons Archive Vol. 2", they'll mix the freakin' guitars up.

Summary: You've got to be kidding
Comment: The sound quality on this one flat out sucks. After reading all of the great reviews and then listening to it, I am so unhappy that I wasted any money on this one.

Summary: excelente edicion!!
Comment: muy recomendable edicion de este recital de los flying burritos bros, compartiendo la noche con los grateful dead....Son dos noches del 69, en abril, donde si bien los temas obviamente se repiten (la mayoria)en ambos discos, no deja de ser un documento interesantisimo..repito..muy recomendable..ah.otra cosa aclaro algo con respecto al idioma..si es español..escribo en español...y que?? si bien puedo escribir en ingles, por mas que a algunos imbeciles les moleste prefiero que la gente hispanoparlante tenga oportunidad de enterarse de estos discos y apoyar la difusion de estas obras magnificas..asi que si no entendes...lee otra review...jajajaja!!o acaso la musica no es universal?? mmmmmmmm.......

Summary: The music is great, but the packaging's another story
Comment: If you're a fan of Gram Parsons and/or The Flying Burrito Brothers, this 2-CD set is a must. However, as some previous reviewers have already stated, the packaging leaves a lot to be desired. Getting the CD's out of this package is like pulling teeth. Whoever designed this package needed a check-up from the neck up. And the liner notes by Dave Prinz are a little on the excessive and fanatical side. He sounds like he was really overcome with emotion while he was writing the liner notes. Basically, he sounds ridiculous. But the music is absolutely wonderful.

Summary: could have been better
Comment: There's good and bad about this cd.First, it was the Flying Burrito Bros, not Gram Parsons and... the GP hype on this is way over the top. In addition, there's no Burrito photo on the front cover, and the one pathetic photo they do have inside has the wrong Burrito lineup pictured( Mike Clarke is missing,an inexcusable mistake!!.In fact reading the booklet, one wouldn't even know it's the Burritos and not just GP! Both sets are inexplicitly cut, when there was room for both complete sets. There some unneeded lame GP demos on disc one. On the positive side, the sound quality is great. Not a bad set, but could have been a whole lot better.
