  • ★★★★★ · What a show! · Dylan M · 2013

    So fluid, so awesome, specially if you like the good Brent stuff. Everything just seems on. For some reason its overshadowed by the Cape Cod run, which was baller, but this seems like a more advanced version of that. First set is solid but second is why it super special. I didn't discover these few Brent era Disco Dancin's until fairly recently and I have to say its way good. This version in particular is so straight forward. Everybody is having a great time and jamming fluidly.

  • ★★★★★ · This show is off-the-hook! Just check out Road Trips Vol., No. 1 · RFKROX · 2008

    Anyone that gives this show less than 5 stars needs to check into a psychiatric ward and get their head examined!! Okay, let’s review… The Grateful Dead Store (dead.net) just released “Road Trips Volume 1, No. 1" recently. If anyone has been paying attention, nine (9) of the songs from the Buffalo Auditorium show from 11/9 are on this “Road Trips” 3-CD set (includes bonus disk).

  • ★★★★★ · I'm On Board w/ Everybody Else. Nice SBD Too. · lilrichwhiteboy · 2026

    I'm always very sceptical when I see an average of five stars in any SBD review. As an AUD hound, I'm always looking for a minimum of vocal "disharmony", so I can enjoy the music. Too many SBDs have the vocals wayy too high, and it drives me crazy. Or the sound is sterile and lifeless. But I am pleasantly surprised by THIS SBD. Except for the slight bit of fuzz here and there, it's warm and inviting. Jerry doesn't sound too bad and Bob doesn't sound like he's screaming or spitting in the mike.
