Last good Dead album....but NOT last Dead album

Review Score: (6/10)
To all "In The Dark" reviewers out there who seem to think that "In The Dark" was the Dead's last album...you need to do alittle more homework. Check the year 1989 and an album titled "Built To Last". "Black Muddy River" is NOT the last song that Jerry Garcia sang lead on.....that again would be found on "Built To Last".

"In The Dark" is a good album, "Built To Last" is not. Neither are great. The last great Dead album was probably "Shakedown Street" in 1978...or the funky but sometimes odd "Go To Heaven" (1980)...but even those albums pale in comparison to a few others.

In the end, no Dead studio album can match a good Dead live show. "Workingmans Dead" and "American Beauty" are outstanding studio works......but watch and listen to "The Closing Of Winterland".....and you'll see that live Dead is the best Dead.
