  • ★★★★★ · Garcia death threat # 1?? · Milty420 · 2014

    Was this night the first death threat against Garcia? Anyway, The house lights were on for the entire evening as Phil says early in the show, "The light's are on so we can see you, you can always see us so tonight we want to see you." So Garcia being Garcia sings DON'T MURDER ME for his first song of the evening!! The China---) Rider is straight up FIRE!!! Charlie's re-mix sounds fantastic as usual

  • ★★★★ · Best of the 3? · Omniverse · 2011

    Having listened to each of these 3 MSG shows, I find this one the best overall, though each offers something special. Consistently above average versions of first set songs, I especially enjoyed the BE Women. Althea is reserved, but much improved from the trainwreck in Glens Falls. Sailor>Saint may be the weak link in the chain, it's hard for me to truly enjoy any of these early Saints with the misfit lyrics, but the playing is fine.
