Grateful Dead - Winterland 1973: The Complete Recordings

Grateful Dead in concert, yet again...
This one comprises three consecutive home fixtures for the band from '73, over the course of no fewer than nine CDs.
Their usual Country-Blues-Jazz-Rock blend prevails, and there is some fabulous playing on this box set.
The Dead are a funny old beast. They couldn't sing, they didn't have any really outstanding instrumentalists IMV, and yet they were hugely successful right to the end (I don't regard any of the post-Garcia activities as having any legitimacy).
What makes them special to me is the way they play together. They have an unusually instinctive degree of interplay between them, which I find absolutely enthralling.
Recommended for sad obsessives only...
