- ★★★★ · Brent's First East Coast Show · Purple Gel · 2008
The Dead's return to the east coast after Keith and Donna were let go was met with much anticipation and curiosity about the new keybordist and how they would sound. All worries were unfounded, as they played a very tight, if unspectacular show.

The music comes through well on this recording, but there is a bit too much crowd noise for my taste, preventing me from cranking the volume as I sit here trying to do schoolwork. As others have noted, Stagger Lee and All Over Now are the standouts from the first set. Brent's harmonies and playing are a great improvement over the burnt out Godchauxs. Samson and Delilah features Jerry getting into shred territory (caught my ear even at low volumes).
- ★★★★ · Brent's Second Show · TaperTony · 2009
In the days before internet, the heads didn't know who would be playing the keyboards on this tour. When the lights went down and this guy with long straight blond hair sat down behind the hammond, we all freaked "Gregg Allman, they got Greg Allman!" Then he started singing and it' wasn't Gregg... Anyway this is a fine aud recording of Brent's 2nd show with the GD and you can hear how quickly he jels with the Band! Nice detailed recording from a sweet spot.
