- ★★★★★ · First Show Dosed to the Gills! · Brownie1960 · 2012
Hey, I am on this recording. I was the one screaming before Estimated Prophet. Let me add some context. I didn't know a lot about the GD at the time, and the first set had already been a life changing experience for me. I was three or four rows back from the column of speakers on the right hand side of the stage. I was hanging on to the seat in front of me for dear life during Sugaree. It felt as if all the water from all the rivers on earth were washing through me all at once.

- ★★★★★ · Another great show from bygone days · Don Texist · 2005
The Sheas Dead show is one that is indelibly etched into my brain. This was my best show. Freezing cold saturday night in Buffalo. What a venue. Sheas is an amazing theater, like going back in time a hundred years. Sitting in the balcony, as if right on top of the band. High energy night. Certain songs stuck out in my mind after all these years. It's all over now. Not Fade Away. Saturday Night encore.
- ★★★★★ · A+ sound and no Donna! · jjjbaggins · 2007
Don't get me wrong, I love plenty of Donna-era shows, but when the boys had an opportunity to play without her (ala December '73) it was special. Combine that with amazingly clear sound (although the vocals are quiet at times) and a late second set Dark Star and this show becomes an important artifact. Only two Dark Stars all year (1-10 is with Donna) and this one, while short, is thoughtful and deep.
