I’d call this very listenable! Would I use this show to introduce or summarize the Grateful Dead to a new listener like you might with Veneta ‘72 or Cornell ‘77? Probably not, but for conditioned fans with well-trained ears, Santa Monica ‘70 offers a headspace that the afore-mentioned shows simply can’t provide.

★★★★★ · The Other Other One · Chris U. · 2008
We are all intimately familiar with the 2-13-70 version. I respectfully submit that this performance lacks some of the wonderful subtlety of that show but makes up for it with sheer b**** to the wall intensity. If only a soundboard were surface. That said, you CAN get there from here but it may take more than a bottle of budweiser. Some of the audience reactions themselves have merit.
★★★★★ · gotta listen/download · lemon lime partridge · 2007
wow, this is only the second AUD i've braved (the other being june 14, 68 @ fillmore east)... but it's amazing! jerry's voice really sounds pretty and the whole show is highly listenable and intense. this actually might be my new favorite "black peter". when the crowd starts screaming at the beginning of "good lovin" i want to jump up and down and scream too...pig steals this show big time. i can't even deduct a star for sound quality...it sounds fine & this is really beautiful stuff!
