I agree with some of the other reviewers that this album does go well with the double album "What A Long Strange Trip It's Been", only one song is on both albums (Truckin'). It's not really a greatest hits album, Truckin' was pretty much their only early radio hit. But, Grateful is a Grateful: 5 stars
