Have not yet been able to crack into '90 Dead much, tho I've heard it's different than other latter years, and this helps that case...Grate!

Right on...definitely takes an adjustment, but this set pays off big time...I sprung it on a deadhead friend, and he loved it. Definitely gives the "being there" feeling, peaking with the crowd and all that...

Nothing like it...1971 is inimitable.
