- ★★★★★ · My First Dead Concert, of Many · DPDinSC · 2020
RI Auditorium on North Main St in Providence, RI was a real dump. It was a hockey rink for the Boston Bruins farm team. I know because I worked there as an usher. I was one of those dudes in the long, red cardigan sweaters that smelled like cigars. One week before I turned 18 I ushered at this show; right in front of the stage, on Pig Pen’s side. I wondered “who the hell are these guys and where did they come from?

- ★★★★★ · Boo hiss? · skwimite · 2005
I've been streaming this show(simultaneously downloading)and I just don't hear any hiss, and assuming there is some, my old ears aren't picking it up. As far as the show goes, I'm a soft touch when it comes to '71, but this is yet another(so far)excellent performance, with great sound! This era has such an intimate feel to it, something that was lost as time marched on and the venue's got bigger, etc.
- ★★★★★ · One of my first tapes · Sparklemahn · 2020
Anyone who doesn't think this show is a STANDOUT does not really get it. This is a classic performance in a half empty Rhode Island Arena (an hour south of Boston) in what was arguably the Dead's BEST YEAR. Pigpen is at his best and that spurs on Jerry to new heights of incredible! Just crank this one up to 11 and let it rip. I hope YOU get it. And to anyone who went to this show: YOU LUCKY DOG! Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad; ain't gonna be treated this way!
