★★★★★ · Thanks For This · Jimdish255 · 2009
It's been a long time since my friend Bill and I hitched a ride from UCONN to catch this show. I was actually waiting in line for Rush tickets at the campus Ticket--- when word spread the Dead were going on sale for Radio City. A change of plans ensued. I think this was originally supposed to be opening nite, but when they sold out so quickly, Friday was added (correct me if wrong). Anyway, it was a great show, and pix of the scene there don't do it justice.

★★★★★ · Is it live or is it the dead???????? · Sugar23ee · 2007
"To Lay Me Down" was probably one of the most peaceful moments my life has ever experienced. This acoustic set as well as all the others during these shows is something I will NEVER forget.
★★★★ · Franklin's Tower · st.stephen6.4 · 2009
The bright, upbeat (and lyrically flawless) Franklin's Tower performed this night is the one they chose for Dead Set (albeit edited for brevity). Dead Set is one of the two albums, along with Scull & Roses, that got me into the Dead. Franklin's was my favorite track from Dead Set. Therefore, I attach enormous importance to this great show.
