As for the music, I suppose that's each to her/his own taste. But as to the eulogy for Bill Graham, I will confess that it affected me much more listening to it now [that's Track 13 at http://www.archive.org/details/gd91-...897.sbeok.shnf] than in person, close to the stage, 18 years ago. I suppose the difference is that I didn't have kids at the time, something addressed in a tragic context in the eulogy.
That said, it is, by far and away, the best reading of ee cumming's "Buffalo Bill" http://www.boppin.com/cummings.html I've ever heard, and IMHO worth the not insubstantial price of admission for that alone. Consider it as a raw shot of Ken Kesey, strait up, no chaser.
