Grateful Dead
Beautiful Jams Too

When I compiled the first disk of "Beautiful Jams," which was nothing more than a lark, it never occurred to me that anybody more than a few online friends might enjoy it. But it seems to have been distributed rather widely, so as I have been listening to new and old favorites, I've kept an ear open for similarly beautiful moments, and it looks like I've got enough cream to try a second time.

Given the number of files I selected and then deleted, and the cuts I made all over the ones that made it, I'm doubtful there will be a third. So here's hoping the sophomore effort is interesting as well.

NOTE: When burning, you will need to set the gap between tracks to zero, or the disk will exceed 80 minutes.

1. Jam before Ship of Fools [6/23/74]
2. Dark Star [2/26/73]
3. Triad (with David Crosby -- David and the Dorks) [12/15/70]
4. Comes a Time [5/9/77]
5. Here Comes Sunshine [4/2/73]
6. Dark Star [10/12/68]
7. He's Gone [6/25/91]
8. China Doll [5/19/77]
9. Playing in the Band [12/2/73, two parts]
10. The Wheel [12/5/81]
11. Comes a Time [12/27/90]
12. Weather Report Prelude [3/26/73]
13. jam at the end of space [3/27/88]
14. Dark Star [9/21/72]
15. Stella Blue [7/18/76]
