1990 Issued ... Without A Net " Special / Limited Edition " 2-CD Picture Disc Set ! ... Featuring Amazing !! Rick Griffin Art ( Picture Discs ! ) & John ' Mikio ' Kennedy Art ( CD Case Art ! ) !!!
Dead Fans !!! This Beautiful ! 2-CD Picture Disc Set was released well-over 30-Years-Ago now, and hopefully at some point in Time & Space ! it has made it into the " Top-Shelf ! " of your Grateful Dead Collection !!?! Two ( 2 ) Special / Limited Edition " Picture Disc " CD's which spin-off of the overall " Circus Theme ! " of Without A Net !! featuring a " Skeleton Clown ! " on each CD - designed by none other than the Late / Great Rick Griffin !!! And if that's not enough in itself - Wow ! - there is also Beautiful !! ( " Circus Theme " once again ... ) CD Case Art by Mikio ( John ' Mikio ' Kennedy ) !!! Grateful Dead Productions & Arista sure went all-the-way with this Amazingly designed Set - as they just don't make them like this anymore ! Wow ... And, as far as the Music itself ? Essential ( & then some !! ) ... as this is a Grateful Dead release from an Amazing ! period of Band synergy ( Late-80's / Early-90's ) -- an Incredible-Sounding ' Live ' compilation ( 2-Disc Set ! ) from the Legendary ! Fall 1989 !! & Spring 1990 !!! Tours !!!! Many Deadheads believe this to be the final peak-period for the Band. Though I personally believe otherwise, it can certainly be a convincing argument. Sadly, Summer 1990 would be Brent Mydland's last tour with the Grateful Dead before his untimely passing. This CD Set was released on 9/25/90 - and was quickly certified " Gold " on 11/27/90. It is dedicated to " Clifton Hanger " ( Brent Mydland ), and is a very fine musical tribute to his everlasting memory with the Grateful Dead Family & Fan Faithful ! This release offers Absolutely-Incredible Musicianship throughout from a later, Magical & Powerful ! Grateful Dead period -- simply Excellent ! Live Grateful Dead. Both this release and the " Built To Last " Special Edition release ( with Playing Cards ! ) came out right around the same time & era - within a year apart, and the Dead Fans were blissfully thrilled with both !! What great memories for the Loyal Dead Fan Faithful ! Even if you already have the ' Without A Net ' Set ... I mean don't you need this version too ? Just check out this Art ! ... Griffin !! of the Discs & Mikio ! on the Case ! - just waiting patiently for Your ! Collection for well-over 30-Years !!! -- Enjoy !!!!!
