I bought this CD after hearing classic Dead songs, such as Uncle John's Band and Friend of the Devil. This sounded NOTHING like those songs. It starts out innocently enough; Good Lovin' is a decent upbeat track. With the exception of Fire on the Mountain, it goes downhill from there. The vocals become invading and annoying, switching lead vocals often (who the heck is that chick on from the heart of me??). At times this record is too easy listening, at other times it's too arena rock. It finishes with the weak "If I had my love to give", which sounds like a B-side Paul McCartney top 40 ballad. Leave this album on the shelf, or better yet, don't buy it at all!
