- ★★★★★ · End of an era? · Mark C. · 2005
What an amazing find these shows are (8-14 & 15 -71)! Its hard to believe they somehow evaded me for so long. Like many, Ive had the audience tapes of the Hollywood 8-5/6 shows, and considered their absence from the Vault a big loss. But we have these shows, which rest assured are of equal caliber. In fact, if these four shows were all available in similar sound quality for comparison, I strongly suspect that peoples opinion of the relative merits of the shows would change.

- ★★★★★ · Another great 5-man Dead show · George Minton · 2005
Lots of fabulous moments, nice crisp sound, best Wharf Rat ever - a nice delicately detailed body followed by an explosive jam. Four and three quarter stars, rounded up to five. Additionally, because I'm seriously type-A and a guitarist, Jerry is in fact playing a Fender Stratocaster; he had been since the fall of '69, with a few exceptions such as the encores of the last night at the Fillmore.
- ★★★★★ · THE GRATEFUL DEAD RHYTHM SECTION · oh_uh_um_ah · 2008
This show is a great example of how less is more. Great sounding rhythm section. Two guitars, Bass, Drums and Pigpen on the organ. THE DEAD would never sound like this again. A truely special treat here at the IA. Excellent sound from the audio board , excellent mix, and masterful performances make this show one you will listen to over an over.
