  • ★★★★★ · 1st show of trilogy, always compared to 2nd · Mind Wondrin · 2018

    Where are those time machines they promised us by 2010 back in 1970? How many people would be hoping for a miracle outside this show? What a show for which to have a Bertha source (let alone an Eaton & a Miller) - first night of The Holy Trilogy. Everybody already knows these are three-in-a row, often-ranked-Top-10 shows; perhaps even the most-regarded 3 back-to-back dates (admit it and go back to your '74s and your '72s).

  • ★★★★★ · skr213 is out to lunch · rollandfin · 2009

    Keith's work especially in the spring of 77 was top notch. skr213 is entitled to his opinion, but maybe he just doesn't know what he is talking about. I won't use 5/7/77 as proof, it's not really my favorite show, however I will refer to help/slip/frank from 5/9/77 or 6/9/77, or 2/26/77 swing's terrapin, or the estimated on 5/18/77 or the terrapin from 3/19/77 the bertha from 5/9/77 the peggy-0 from buffalo or 5/5/ new haven, 4/23 fire, as amazing moments...

  • ★★★★★ · Shangri-La!!!!!!!!!! · Burnt Rich · 2007

    No matter how many times this show is played in my life----it will never fail to just floor me. No matter how many times!! I scored the Betty Board on a Maxell @ Stevens Pass Ski Area one night. I was a night lift operator--we ran the lifts until 10:00 pm every night......I figured scoring this sweet 2nd set Boston Garden show warranted an early night off from my duties.
