- ★★★★★ · Greatest New Potato Caboose Ever · bluestones · 2013
The rest of this show is meh compared to the other Avalon shows but the New Potato Caboose is amazing! My favorite version! How thunderous Phil sounds in his solo! What beautiful symphonic chapters Garcia writes as he picks and bends. Finally, after 8 years a New Potato I can call my favorite. Wow! I've listened to this show off and on for the last couple of years but didn't realize just how great this version was until now. Five stars just for that.

- ★★★★ · Gas the Avalon!!! · phleshy · 2005
The sound quality is excellent on this show; all the instruments and vocals are clear and well-placed. Maybe this show was recorded for consideration as Live/Dead. Well, I'm glad that this Dark Star wasn't considered; 2/27/69 is head and shoulders above it. Still, this is an interesting show because of the Lovelight and the intentional power failure. Maybe it was incidents like this that inspired the "Burn down the Fillmore, gas the Avalon" lyric in Alligator.
- ★★★★ · Mind-Bending New Potato Caboose · mellowmymind5453 · 2013
This show's New Potato Caboose is sick! Phil's solo is earth-shaking and extremely extended. Wow, wish I could've seen that one live. Everything else is pretty normal, which of course means EXCEPTIONAL for 1969 Dead. Love the music from this era, warts and all, they just played with so much fire and energy. After all, LIVE/DEAD was got me onto the bus in the first place!
