Is that primarily a rhetorical question (just like this one)?

Primarily. It's certainly preliminary to the next one.

Grateful Dead - View From The Vault, Vol. 1 Soundtrack (rec. 1990, released 2001)
The complete July 8, 1990 show from Pittsburgh's Three Rivers Stadium was the first release in yet another series of live releases from those merry merchandisers, The Grateful Dead. I wasn't expecting much because (1) this is not one of my favorite periods for the Dead and (2) the reviews were lukewarm. To my surprise, this is quite a fine show. The crowd heard lots of Bob Weir in a well-balanced show that maintained a steady, danceable groove for a hot summer day.
One guy posted this memory of the show at dead.net:
I got 3rd row tickets for this one for some friends and my mom and stepfather, who saw their first and only show here. My mom was wearing these cool pewter earrings that were lizards biting their own tails to form a hoop. I'm embarrased to say that I hooked up with a girl I liked from high school and was making out with her through several songs. I don't think it's necessarily right to make out with somebody in front of your mom. I was only 19, though. Oh well, nothin' left to do but smile, smile, smile. Sheepishly.
Ah, the 90's. I remember them well.

Bryan Ferry - These Foolish Things (1973)
How does this one compare to Boys and Girls? I just discovered that one thanks to Sirius' "Deep Tracks".

The best BF album, IMO, is this one....it is essentially a Roxy album when you look at the lineup.

Boys and Girls is good though spotty - it's nostalgic to me because it came out when I was in high school
Still, Ferry's debut - done during peak Roxy Music time - is IMO his best. It's different though - it's an album entirely of covers and before you take PinUps or Moondog Matinee pause, Sam (not that they're bad albums just not very good ones), I think you'll be pleasantly surprised here. The most know track is his cover of "Hard Rain's Gonna Fall" (which I like his spin). Ferry brings his special croon to the whole albums - some covers naturally fall a bit flat ("Piece of My Heart", "Sympathy for the Devil") but the rest is fantastic especially the lesser known Ketty Lester B-side "River of Salt" and The Paris Sisters' "I Love How You Love Me". I picked up the LP in a used record shop in college and have loved it since. Check it out
Edit: typed this out right after Pop's comments and I'll expand my thoughts. This is Ferry's best IMO BECAUSE it doesn't sound like a Roxy album (let's face it, if you want a Roxy Music album, you're gonna pop on Stranded or For Your Pleasure not a Ferry solo platter). Also as you know I love 60s tunes as well as cover versions so this one is tailor-made for me
