Bear's Sonic Journals: Sing Out!

On Americana Highways, John Apice said, "The 3rd CD in this impeccable package features more ambitious playing with what's an abbreviated Grateful Dead performance.... Several tracks are classic Dead songs & traditional pieces mixed with some covers that sparkle in the Dead oeuvre." == Track listing ==
