  • ★★★★★ · Happy New Years!!! · Purple Gel · 2010

    I attended every New years show from '80 to '88 and this was by far the best IMO. Between the incredible song list and the inspired playing from start to finish, this show rates as one of the best ever!!! Jerry did indeed break out the Accoustic guitar for Banks Of the Ohio, but by the end of the first verse had traded it in for his electric. This is the only 4-set show I ever attended, and it was a mind blower. The best time I ever had at a show.

  • ★★★★★ · only negative of this show is the dying cat sound of the harmonica on Iko · Little Sense · 2011

    That would be Joan Baez again...the Dead were so far out of her league, this was the end of the relationship between them, Jerry was freaking on her during Baby Blue. I was front row center, crushed against the rail the whole night. What an event that alternated between extreme joy and sheer terror. Both turned out to be quite enjoyable. I was, shall we say, in an altered state.
