The Pizza Tapes:
Legend has it that a pizza delivery boy lifted Jerry Garcia's cassette tape of two evenings worth of very special music from his kitchen counter, thus paving its way into underground tape trading circles and giving a handle to these incredible performances. Now at last, from the vaults of Dawg Studios comes the sonically superb official release of this historic jam session, the only meeting of guitar greats Jerry Garcia and Tony Rice, introduced to each other by their mutual friend and musical associate, mandolinist/ producer David Grisman. The Pizza Tapes capture these virtuosos at a rare moment in time, free of pressure, hassles or any given agenda other than making music and having plenty of fun.

Jerry sings several tunes not only unique to his repertoire but captured here for the first and only time: "Long Black Veil," "House of the Rising Sun," and "Man of Constant Sorrow." Along with the folk/country classics "Rosa Lee McFall," "Little Sadie," and "Louis Collins" are jazz-infused versions of "So What," "Summertime" (a Garcia/ Rice guitar duet) and several free-form extended trio improvisations. Emotional renderings of "Amazing Grace" and Bob Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" add the final topping to this already spicy pie; and with the tape left rolling, the listener is literally right in the studio with the guys as they let it all hang out in between tunes-it's like getting extra toppings for free! The Pizza Tapes is a landmark recording and one of Acoustic Disc's best sounding releases. Get it while it's hot!

Can't go wrong with Jerry Garcia, David Grisman, and Tony Rice. Plus, this one has a few slow songs that someone new to playing guitar, like myself, can keep up with.

i actually took all the studio Dead cd's and put them on shuffle on my ipod, including "the birth of the dead", it's been pretty neat. one second i'll hear "Mindbender", and the next thing I know Franklin's Tower is on, then it goes back to Candyman, i like just jumping around hearing all the styles of the Grateful Dead sound spectrum.

At this moment, the smokin' "St.Stephen" from the classic 9-19-70 just started. I will be in all my Dead glory in just a few minutes when they get to that rippin' "Chinacat" jam.
