• ★★★★★ · Excellent show, easily the 2nd best of the run · clementinescaboose · 2013

  This is where the Paramount run starts to really click, much better than the pervious two nights. The first set is all very strong, but the must hear portion is the Music Never Stopped. This legendary version is not only one of the best of the year, but of all time. Very unique playing. The second set starts with a rocking Bertha>Good Lovin. It kind of surprises me sometimes how fresh they kept this combo, and this is one of the more interesting ones.

• ★★★★★ · Natural - 77 Worked the tour · xDeadRoadie · 2011

  This was my second stop working for the band for Monarch. The band was perfoming with a relaxed authority that was the key to their artistry. It was a pleasure to be a part of. I miss those days of magic. We didn't know what we had in our hands regarding the forumula of backstage comradarie. I commend John Scher for hiring Cy Kocis to be the provider, along with Mo Morrison to be tour manager. These were the days. Mostly I commend Cy for his hard work and his character.

• ★★★★★ · Best Minglewood · Mario Cuevas · 2012

  The 1977 Minglewood is the best arrangement the Dead ever played of that song. Two reasons: 1. The intro. There isn't one. Bobby just launches it. 2. "Sometimes I am; sometimes I ain't." Way better than "some says I am; some says I ain't," which Bobby introduced in 1978 and never left. The personal manic-depressive partially insane soul baring is truer to the story and a lot more dramatic. Great to hear this clean, dynamic version of the show.
