Compilations:
  1. "DGQ-20: A Twenty Year Retrospective" (3-CD box set) (1996) - If you think you've heard all of the David Grisman Quintet's stuff before, you haven't.  This box set contains ALL previously unreleased material, including many live versions of tunes from their earlier classic albums.  The only thing I'm not crazy about is the "free-form" jazz song, "Free Dawg Night".  Other than this, it's all ESSENTIAL STUFF!
Take me back to the Index...
