  • ★★★★★ · A GREAT UNDERRATED LATE 80s SHOW THAT WAS WORTH THE OTHERWISED CURSED 3000 MI. ROAD TRIP (one way) · Terrapanda · 2005

    I too was at this show. With just a five-foot female friend between me and the barrier, just to Brent's side of Jerry, I pretty much had a religious experience at this show. You gotta love general admission. Almost every song in the first set is perfectly executed with that extra measure of Brent organ jam to stretch things out a little. As we speculated as to whether Bird Song would close the set, I remember a girl named Margot totallly called Jack Straw way out!

  • ★★★★★ · BABY BLUE !!! · will not fade · 2004

    By far, my favorite version of this tune. Great show besides, but this Baby Blue sends chills. On some versions the big guy in the black t-shirt just MEANT it, know what I mean? If you like this tune, this is waay my favorite. Been lookin' for one that comes even close, haven't found it. Anybody? Wish I could have been there. Arlo said it best... play it again, with feelin'. Probably the rock and roll quote that comes closest to describing how I feel about this music.
