2xCD in SLIM-LINE JEWEL CASE.

"Hunter Thompson's oft-quoted adage "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro" has always been central to the Grateful Dead's ethos, and never more so than in the Summer of 1971. The departures of Tom Constanten and Mickey Hart, and the delicate health of Pigpen left the band with a lot that was, to quote the title of the Otis Redding tune that appears here, "Hard to Handle." Yet, just as the band embraced chaos in their improvisations, the Dead transcended the chaos of their personal and professional lives to embark on one of their most musically satisfying tours, which this 2-CD set captures with a disc each devoted to the 7/31/71 show at the Yale Bowl in New Haven and the 8/23/71 show at the Auditorium Theatre in Chicago. Many of these songs, like "Wharf Rat" and the covers of "Me and My Uncle" and "Big Railroad Blues" (a particularly rocking version), were about to premiere on the September 1971 double-LP Grateful Dead a.k.a. Skull and Roses, while "Sugaree" and "Bird Song" didn't come out till January of 1972 on Jerry Garcia's eponymous debut solo album, so this Trip provides the always fascinating, caught-on-the-fly look at the band integrating new material. And speaking of "Bird Song," its pairing with a 20-minute plus "Dark Star" is, simply, peak Dead, further evidence that at this point in time, the Grateful Dead was arguably the greatest live band in the world, a claim further bolstered by the medley featuring "The Other One." Blair Jackson's notes set the scene; recorded by Rex Jackson and mastered in HDCD sound by Jeffrey Norman. Never before available at music retail!"

Same sizes but different fits
Color: Light Green-new, Size: 32W x 32L
Great color and good fit. Feels more like a Jean. I bought two pair-exact same size. 32w x 32 length. Light green was exactly what I wanted. The maroon red was more like a jegging than jeans. Not what I wanted. Supposedly same style - so just be aware fits were completely different!

Good product with quality-control issues
Color: Dark Grey, Size: 31W x 31L
I really like these jeans. I own them in almost every color they offer, but the manufacturing consistency is hit or miss. The latest pair I bought has a much smaller pocket opening than the others. I also always order the same size (31×31), but when I got the red pair they were ridiculously long, more like a 31×36. And the first khaki pair I bought had pockets about half as deep as the rest. My iPhone would literally stick out of them. That said, for the price and overall look, they’re still a solid buy.
