I will give it 5 stars because . . . I got married in the morning on this date and we hit the show after the mid-day reception. As of this date 11/4/2025, we have been married 41 years and been to many Dead and Dead related shows. We listen to the show at least once a year. Party on an be Excellent to each other!

- ★★★★★ · smokin' NYE show · jeffsetz · 2004
I was at this show and had a blast. Great to see the boys back in SF on NYE for the 1st time since Winterland's closing. This show has many highlights but the real gem is an unbelievable Estimated->Eyes that just rips. It remains my all-time favorite pairing.
- ★★★★ · Missing Tracks · GJR · 2004
This was live in the NYC area on WNEW 102.7fm, and I can assume elsewhere. I stayed up and taped this. The Brother Esau is crispy, the throwing stones is too and the Estimated> Eyes is a barn-burner. Although, I was hoping to get the name of the tracks I couldn't identify for years. Somewhere in the first set, the members of the Band joined in and they did a couple of songs. One of the songs was Mystery Train, that I know for sure, but there were others.
