 Honky Tonkin with the Flying Burritos September 2, 2008
Live at the Avalon Ballroom,1969,San Francisco,this makes for very interesting recording,hearing mostly the vocals standing out in front with Sneaky Pete and the band in the background which is right on the money especially with country music,so many times you hear a band in a nightclub and the band drowns out the vocals,but not in this case as you hear Parsons and Chris Hillman's harmonies clear as a bell as they wail on,Sin City or Dark End Of The Street.many people were complaining about the sound,but I'd say we're lucky to even hear this classic recording,and it isn't that bad for a nightclub recording consisting of maybe fifty people in the audience at the most,remember Parsons and the Burritos were virtually unknown at the time and if you want to hear a crappy recording listen to Ihe Beatles,Hamburg,Germany compilations,nothing but pure distortion,if there was one complaint about this Fontana two disc cd,which consist of two different shows,the biggest complaint is the packaging,good lord !,I thought I was going have to use plyers just to pull the disc out,unbelievable,hopefully vol. 2 won't be the same,overall this piece of archives in music history is a must.
 The Dead's set probably doesn't sound like this. August 9, 2008

Maybe if they have a "Gram Parsons Archive Vol. 2", they'll mix the freakin' guitars up.

The sound quality on this one flat out sucks. After reading all of the great reviews and then listening to it, I am so unhappy that I wasted any money on this one.

muy recomendable edicion de este recital de los flying burritos bros, compartiendo la noche con los grateful dead....Son dos noches del 69, en abril, donde si bien los temas obviamente se repiten (la mayoria)en ambos discos, no deja de ser un documento interesantisimo..repito..muy recomendable..ah.otra cosa aclaro algo con respecto al idioma..si es espanol..escribo en espanol...y que?? si bien puedo escribir en ingles, por mas que a algunos imbeciles les moleste prefiero que la gente hispanoparlante tenga oportunidad de enterarse de estos discos y apoyar la difusion de estas obras magnificas..asi que si no entendes...lee otra review...jajajaja!!o acaso la musica no es universal?? mmmmmmmm.......
The music is great, but the packaging's another story April 21, 2008
If you're a fan of Gram Parsons and/or The Flying Burrito Brothers, this 2-CD set is a must. However, as some previous reviewers have already stated, the packaging leaves a lot to be desired. Getting the CD's out of this package is like pulling teeth. Whoever designed this package needed a check-up from the neck up. And the liner notes by Dave Prinz are a little on the excessive and fanatical side. He sounds like he was really overcome with emotion while he was writing the liner notes. Basically, he sounds ridiculous. But the music is absolutely wonderful.
