thx for this great audience recording. This was the gig that thouroughly convinced me that Phil had taken the whole experience to another level, esp. w/this incarnation of Friends. I attended this show, situated in the Orchestra pit for both sets, and was climbing the walls w/joy!

It was my second P&F gig after seeing Phil at UNH when he was touring w/Bob Dylan at the end of '99, which was a real treat, w/Jorma on electric! Although the UNH gig blew my mind, it seemed almost too good to be true - that whole "Dead" majic, so to speak, back again, and then some, w/all the new stuff.

I was elated to see the magic surpassed in the beautiful acoustics of this Orpheum gig - one of numerous I was fortunate to see. My favorites in here are the Pride, which I had always yearned for, finally got to see it. It was phenomenal, as was Come Together - the intro there just blew my mind w/the way they ramped into it...total, sweet surprise.

This is stellar audience recording. Too bad most of the Phil shows do not sound this good
