What makes this masterpiece speak for itself is the main ingredient none other than the tight harmonies flowing throughout this entire recording,infested with strong lyrics. "Attics Of My Life",smoothly flows like a fine wine remenisant of the Beatles classic,Sun King. And so Classic is as classic does in Jerry Garcia's signature tune,"Ripple",among other notable tunes ,"Sugar Magnolia","Operator","Friend Of The Devil","Box Of Rain". The tight instrumentation is subdued on this album leaving the vocals more room to stand out painting a visual in the listeners mind. Another Grateful Dead classic,an essential containing sixteen remastered tracks,ten are of the original 1970 album,the extra six are live versions of,Truckin',Friend Of The Devil,Til The Morning Comes,including a single version of Truckin',superior audio. An American Beauty.
