This is one of those Phil shows that you either love or hate. After loving the first 3 Beacon shows, this one was flat IMO.

I drove all the way from Plattsburgh,NY in I don't know how mant feet of snow. Was worth every minute. On the way home it took me 6 hrs to get from NYC to Albany. Had to stop there before making the final trek back to school.

loose lucy is my delight! that's when i got sucked in the band is so tight! and the recording is schweet! great job ericv! talk about the sweet spot, all i can think of is 8-6-71. somebody help me out,there have been some really outstanding aud. rec. over the years. thanks to all tapers!! i imagine this show at the top of the batting avg. list, someday. just listen and you'll understand.

It was a surreal night and there were no tickets at all for this - the only reason I got one was because someone in my family bailed at the last minute because of the snow storm and the other extra we gave to a guy that was walking around barefoot after the show had already started and he barely acknowledged it - He knew some kind brother would hook him!

Musically this was absolutely one of the best concerts I have ever seen forget about the Dead -I could not believe ANYONE could produce this much voltage. Start to finish we were all horse from screaming and smoking really good hydroponic.

I cannot remeber exactly late in the show when but they finally opened the doors and let some cold air in because it was honestly over 100 degrees in there and the cold and hot met and these clouds of steam formed and everyone roared it was so trippy and surreal. You can hear the cheers. I walked across Central Park home because there were no taxies around 1:30AM and people were making angels in the snow (it was dumping)it was one of my favorite NY memories having lived here for close to 20 years.

This tape destroys the FOB Schoeps. Unreal, could be a DSBD if I didn't know better. Incredible Beacon tape and a great show as well. Great Scarlet > Fire, a must have. Glad to get this source. Check it out!
