I'll admit I don't have a huge set of references for how the officially released Dead concerts sound, but the Red Rocks '78 sounded very good to my ears. The studio albums sound absolutely stellar, as do the Springsteen albums (although Darkness at the Edge of Town sounds closed in, which I suspect is how the original recording was as it's a fairly claustrophobic album to being with).
I only got into the Dead in the last few months. I really regret not seeing them when I had the chance. So far, Nebraska is the only Springsteen album I've connected with.
...The last time, I was already near 40, and even wondering why, as I don't like crowds or noise, I was going to a rock concert! It was actually amazing. The sound quality was wonderful, and the only time my ears hurt was when the crowd (10-15 thousand, a modest-size auditorium) joined in.
