" Special / Big Top Limited Edition " 2-CD Picture Disc Set !! ... Featuring Amazing ! Rick Griffin Art ( Poster & Picture Discs ! ) & John ' Mikio ' Kennedy Art ( CD Case Art ! ) - Wow !!! ... " Without A Net !!!!! ". Grateful Dead Fans !!! ... and especially those who Love ! both the Rock Art Masterpiece ! works of Mikio ! & Griffin ! - and Late-'80's / Early-'90's Live Grateful Dead !!! This Beautiful ! 2-CD Picture Disc & Poster Set was released well-over 30-Years-Ago now, and hopefully at some point in Time & Space ! it has made it into the " Top-Shelf " of your Grateful Dead Collection !!?! The Two ( 2 ) Special / Limited Edition " Picture Disc " CD's in this set spin-off of the overall " Circus Theme " featuring a " Clown " on each CD - is designed by none other than the one & only Rick Griffin !! - who also designed the Beautiful !! ( " Circus Theme " once again ... ) Collector's Poster inside this Collector's Special / Limited Edition Set !!! This Poster appropriately represents the artwork created for the " Europe 1990 Tour " which was in-the-hopper, and right around the corner when this quintessential " Without A Net " release 1st came out for the Dead Fans ! And if that's not enough in itself - Wow ! - there is also Beautiful !! ( " Circus Theme " once again ... ) CD Case Art by Mikio !!! And as far as the Music itself ? Essential ( & then some !! ) ..... as this is a Grateful Dead release from an Absolutely-Amazing ! period of Band synergy & resurgence ( the Late-80's ! / Early-90's ! ) -- an Incredible-Sounding ' Live ' compilation ( 2-Disc Set ) from the Legendary ! Fall 1989 & Spring 1990 Tours. Many Deadheads do believe this to be the final ' peak-period ' for the Band. Though I personally believe otherwise, it can certainly be a convincing argument - for certain. Sadly, Summer 1990 would indeed be Brent Mydland's Last & Final Tour with the Grateful Dead before his untimely passing in July of 1990 - just following the Grateful Dead '90 Summer Tour. This CD Set was released on 9/25/90, and was quickly certified " Gold " on 11/27/90. It is very-appropriately dedicated to " Clifton Hanger " ( Brent Mydland ! ), and is an Amazing Musical Tribute ! to his everlasting memory with the Grateful Dead Family ! & Dead Fan Faithful !! This release offers Absolutely-Incredible Musicianship ! throughout from a later, Magical & Powerful Grateful Dead period -- simply Excellent ! Live Grateful Dead !! Both this and the " Built To Last " Special Edition ( with Playing Cards ! ) sets came out fairly close to the same time - looking back ... just 1-Year apart, and Dead Fan were blissfully-thrilled with both ! of these Neat !! Special / Limited & Deluxe G.D. releases. What great memories for the loyal Dead Fans !! Even if you already have the ' Without A Net ' Set ... I mean don't you need this version too ? Seriously. Just check out this Art ! ... Griffin ! on the Poster ! & Two ( 2 ) Discs ! & Mikio on the Inside CD Case ! Still Brand New / Factory-Sealed ! & waiting for Your ! Collection patiently ... for well-over 30-Years !!! Enjoy !!!!!
