Subject: Absolutely beautiful
This show is Phil & Phish at the top of their game. It's absolutely beautiful.

If you think of PLF as a Grateful Dead cover band, then yes, I agree with you that about 90% of the time it is, and it's much better to just listen to actual Dead concerts from 1972 or 1977.

But this concert stands on its own as a wonderful work of music and art. The different songs and jams meld into one complete and fully soul-satisfying river of song. This concert is a wonderful experience.

Find the best-sounding copy of this, to your ears, and keep it close. Five stars.

A kind friend gave me these shows shortly after they came out and i just remember being blown away by them, the Shakedown and Rider on the 15th the Help On The Way > Slipknot! > Franklin's & Scarlet > Fire on the 16th, and the Dark Star mind mush on the 17th. Fantastic playing. My old cds have finally had enough, time for me to get the files forever. Thank you Charlie for all the work that you do!

I've had all 3 nights of this absolutely LEGENDARY run of some of the most CREATIVE and GROUNDBREAKING music I've ever had the pleasure to listen to in my collection since these bombs were dropped in 1999.

After the countless listens, I still find the beautiful subtleties and nuances that make 4/16 and 4/17 TRUE masterpieces. These were the shows that rocketed Phil into his wonderful solo career. They made us appreciate what we had lost even more, but they also showed that tunes that had been played for 30 years or so can have complete overhauls with new interpretations, wrinkles, and energy.

Obviously, The Grateful Dead and Phish are two bands that I love so much and my life has been enriched beyond measure by both. This was such a rare treat, Page does Piano and Keyboard work that no keyboardist the Dead ever had could accomplish. In my opinion, 4/16 and 4/17 are Steve Kimock in his absolute PEAK form, both creatively and in terms of execution. His playing is just brimming with fresh ideas and wonderful, graceful finesse. Phil said it best, Trey is just plain nasty here, and Kimock is playing something akin to an anti-gravity guitar.
MOLO IS A BEAST

This show is unreal. It's perfect in every aspect. Trey and Page are great. Phil phucks up the bass line for Down With Disease but we'll forgive him. This show is amazing. 5 stars.

Charlie, thank you so much. Your work here is consistent with your work with SKB! Being a serious Kimock lover, I've been waiting for this 3 night run to be available forever. All three nights are beautiful, but 4/17 is the monster. Between the Dark Star jams, IU2U, Favorite Things, Bird Song, Terrapin, FOTD, MORNING DEW and GDTRFB, you get it all here. Page and Trey are a treat alone, but Kimock is the genius behind the mad science on this night. This is no doubt my favorite Morning Dew ever....and this is coming from a 30 year old deadhead who will never get over never having seen the boys play live. Trey gives us a solid first solo on Dew...just perfect. But on the closing solo Steve gives us what we always want on a great DEW....a beautiful, dynamic solo that climbs a mountain and explodes in a beutiful crescendo. The beginning of his solo is so quiet and careful that you can almost miss the beauty if you don't have the volume high enough.

The rest of the 4/15-4/16-4/17 run is awesome too! But 4/17 is in my CD player the most. Anyone who enjoys Grateful Dead, Phish, Zero, and SKB music must have this show! Oh, and John Molo is one heck of a rhythm man.
