  • ★★★★★ · Phil's 50th · Midway Kid · 2011

    Have not listened to the sound yet. So this review is of the show. My first review. More of a story. I snuck into this show. Got super lucky. The tickets were almost impossible to get on the lot as one could tell. My friend and I drove from Kansas to the show with many problems. Car broke down. Spent almost all our money fixing it. Decided to go on anyway. Nicknamed the run "sping broke". It was spring break from KU. Made it in a smoking car. Overheated. I had given up trying to get in.

  • ★★★★★ · Ahhh.... Mock Turtle Jam · Monkeyfister · 2017

    Gosh, that jam just makes me smile out loud every time I hear it starting up on my big ol' Grateful Dead digital jukebox. Drummerz having a BLAST, listening to each other, and driving the vibe, Phil just going to town, Brent sprouts two more hands in the middle there, while Bobby and Jerry just feed off each other. Just freaking HUGE. Crowd is in pure bliss as some of the tightest jamming is months is happening right there for them.

  • ★★★★★ · Best Rider ever? · sakanaband · 2011

    This has got to be one the greatest Rider's ever performed. There is certainly a reason why this show was picked by Phil for the Terrapin cd. It is arguably the greatest show of the almost unbelievably strong Spring 1990 run. Find me a better Terrapin, a better type II jam (after 1981), a lovelier and more powerful Wharf Rat, or more bubbly and smokin' Samson. Bet you'd be hard-pressed.
