Critical reception[edit]

Grateful Dead Download Series Volume 12

On AllMusic, Jesse Jarnow said, 'Only one tune from [Workingman's Dead or American Beauty] gets played here... though they also charge through a six-minute take of the new (and rare) 'Mason's Children'.... The highlight is unquestionably a 13-plus minute version of Martha & the Vandellas' 'Dancing in the Street'. Garcia, Bob Weir, and Phil Lesh's harmonies are big and enthused, the San Francisco ballroom scene encapsulated in one vocal arrangement. The jam makes its way into deeply spaced jazz, Garcia especially wearing his John Coltrane love... on his sleeve.'^[3]
