Grateful Dead: Reckoning (Arista)

Michael Goldberg, Musician, August 1981

GOOD NEWS... you don't have to be a diehard Deadhead to enjoy the latest live LP issued from the Dead's headquarters in mellow Marin County (where real longhaired, dope smokin' hippies can still be found). Reckoning — 16 songs on two records, taken from dates in N.Y.C. and San Francisco last year — is the first good album from the Grateful Dead in ten years. 

Total word count of piece: 337
