I went to this show and it was a life changer... Never thought about music the same way again. It felt like Jerry and Phil were channeling the music from on high, making it up on the fly second by second. Yes, I was pretty high, but this music was magical! I remember during the "Dark Star", I was looking up at the gold lame ceiling and it felt like the room had elevated and was spinning off into space like a rocket ship. I can actually pinpoint the spot where that happened to me... LOL.

I haven't heard every show from this year, but I've heard most of what's available in good quality. This is a top shelf version of virtually every song played, and I don't say that lightly. How many concerts can you actually say that about? Maybe 5/2/70. It kicks off with a rocking Other One. I won't argue with those who call this the best ever, though speaking of 5/2/70 I happen to like that version better but not by much. Cosmic Charlie just jumps out of the speakers at you.

For any a******* out there that think The Dead played "wimpy dimpy hippie music"...play them this version of That's It for the Other One and they won't believe their ears...if they can even handle it! hahahaha! One of the most ferocious pieces of music ever performed, by any band. Not to mention the New Potato Caboose is one of the greatest and most unique versions, even if it's not perfect. Phil is absolutely ON FIRE! such a great opening combo - maybe the best ever!
