- ★★★★★ · Dead Power Into Boulder · Purple Gel · 2006
One of the great things about this show for me was that it was the only Dead show I was ever able to walk to from my home, {and more importantly walk home from, no need to worry about driving in a psychedelic haze!!!....:)... } This is really a great show, and I think the loudest Dead show I ever saw, and from start to end one of the most powerful and raw show I ever witnessed.

- ★★★★★ · WOW, Best of '81!! · Iko Jim · 2006
After seeing this show being given five star reviews by both Purple Gel and Capn Doubledose in the last few days I had to give it a listen and WOW!!!! I thought I had heard all the great '81 shows and then discovered this gem. IMO it ranks up there with my three '81 favorites New years , 9-11 and 9-12 Greeks, and any other shows from that, or any year. What a find!!! I Have to agree with the previous reviewers....
- ★★★★★ · Classic Dead!! · Driftin N Dreamin · 2006
The Dead at the CU Events Center, it doesn't get much better than this!! It was a freezing night in Boulder, but inside was very hot and Loud!! the first set has some stellar moments. the Cold Rain is raw, The Bird Song is Epic and the LLR is the best ever and any show that ends the first set with China Cat > Rider (one of my favorite versions of this jam) and starts the second set with Scarlet > Fire is Awesome in my book.
