"Not only does this quintet play tight and vicious versions of some of the most complex songs in the Grateful Dead's repertoire, but they play them with a rawness & energy absent from the stage since the "Live" Dead era. More importantly, all of the jams are wild and incredibly adventurous. Russo's a beast behind the kit who's in the peak of his career. Metzger is a criminally underrated guitarist who has a chameleon-like ability to alter his sound to compliment any situation. Dreiwitz's intensity is unmatched by anyone, while Benevento spouts these crazy tones and layers of sound that mix the best of what each keyboardist in GD history brought to the band. Finally, add Hamilton, whose voice and biting leads help push this ensemble over the top." - Scott Bernstein, Jambase 9.12.13

It's just a different take on the same old songs. I'd see them live, but I won't really listen to them any more than I already have. I can say the same for virtually every band that plays this music.
I mean, if I'm going to listen to something that's akin to 1968 Dead, it's going to be 1968 Dead.

Been my take since the first time I saw them. As close to 1968 as you will ever get.

Can someone please provide an Archive link to a JRAD show that will either make me think they are better than 1972 GD, or not?
Heck, just provide a single song and/or jam that makes the case.
