Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 82.4/100, a mean average of 84.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.6.

Classic show one of my favorites great versions of Loser, Jack Straw, Deal, Dancing in the Street, Scarlet Begonias & Fire On the Mountain
I am new to the Grateful Dead live shows and a everyone recommended this show as their peak and a good starting point. I was not disappointed.
Widely referred to as the greatest Grateful Dead concert of All-Time. It is not but it is still an excellent representation of the 1977 Grateful Dead. Probably the tightest the band ever played. Crisp glistening Live recording by Betty Cantor Jackson. This is a stunning Live album worthy of ANY quality record collection.
