    CLASSIC TREASURE
  

*by K***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2011*

It may interest "somebody" to know that, someone like me, who prefers DARK STAR(s) and usually chooses Dead CDs that feature long instrumental jams... absolutely LOVES Reckoning.  The main thing I wish to mention is: the production quality here is VERY NOTICEABLY SUPERIOR to the original, single CD...that alone makes its purchase desirable. It's great that, while the music is acoustic, Phil Lesh still plays his electric bass...and it sounds great.  CD #2 does have some tasty selections.  The opening track, a "rehearsal" of To Lay Me Down, a song which can, at times, be a little dull, comes across (to me) as magical and is, now, the only version of that song I listen to.  CD #2 also contains two instrumentals which are quite stunning.  The last two tracks on CD 2, which are from 1978 and have somewhat less fidelity, are highlights too.  Normally, the song Tom Dooley seems a bit trite when groups like the Kingston Trio perform it, but Tom Dooley here sounds surprisingly authentic & American-rootsy.  Also, the final track, Deep Elem Blues, is the only version I've heard where Jerry solos on bluesy slide guitar...so it's also very enjoyable.  OF COURSE the first CD is AN ULTIMATE CLASSIC...even though I sometimes program it for individual songs, every track on CD 1 is pure enchantment!

    A really nice side of the dead
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2017*

Excellent cd; essentially what would be the Grateful Dead’s “unplugged” album. Some really good songs are on this cd. My personal favorites are: monkey and the engineer, dire wolf, cassidy,Iko Iko, ripple, and the heaven help the fool jam. I’m a big Bobby fan and he is amazing on cassidy and monkey and the engineer. The whole band really plays well through out both discs. Overall one of my favorite dead cds. Can listen to it over and over again. Easiest way for me to explain the sound is folk-roots-dead. Makes me want to jam out around a campfire. For the price I paid I am very satisfied with this cd.

    The Best
  

*by D***G on Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 1999*

This is what Jerry has always been all about _ I played a little with him in 1962-63 when he was nobody. I stayed a nobody and he didn't, which is the way life is. But this is the kind of stuff he did then and the kind of  stuff he could always go back to. Obviously he expanded his repertoire in  the next 30 years, but if you want to hear where a lot of the Dead classics  come from, listen to this. These are the roots upon which he expanded into  a genius. The best live Dead albums are this, Europe 72 and Dead Set, which  contains a heartrending version of "Brokedown Palace.'' uneven but some brilliant sides.  the American beauty-Workingman's Dead Duo and you don't need much more.
