- ★★★★★ · This Birdsong · Starhedia · 2015
Listen to what I am writing: This Birdsong could possibly be the Grateful Dead at their very best. Sure there are more thumping Ikos, like 3-30-87, and the merriweather 85 Sampson, but the whole night is excellent. The whole style of groove for the night is get down nasty. The Birdsong just hits this pinnacle where everyone listens to each other, they all kick a**. The song just is what is symbolizes. The melancholy to the true sense of the word. Meli in Greek is honey, and cholia is bitter.

- ★★★★★ · sounds great! · westrock · 2011
This was my first show. I was a bright-eyed 15-year-old Connecticut kid, and enjoyed it immensely. It sounds great here. I am a big Charlie Miller fan, since learning about the Internet Archive a few years back. I have to disagree with TeaBag69. There were a lot of phenomenal shows after the late 80s.

This was the show Jerry lost his voice but made up for it very big time with the Louie Louie. Jerry was always a musician first, and a showman second, but he took the latter almost as seriously as the former, so if he didn't give the fans their money's worth in his own mind, then LOOK OUT very soon. Always had a blast in Hartford, literally! The hotel was attached to the venue, making for a chance to explore previously unknown dimensions. Another fabulous Charlie Miller show.
