Subject: What's wrong with the sound quality?

This doesn't sound like a new soundboard...it sounds more like an old bootleg. I downloaded the FLAC file, and it still sounds "thin", not crystalline like many soundboards. Anyone have any other feedback? BTW, I was at the show, and enjoyed it immensely!

Subject: souper show

I just wanted to leave a note saying the third song played in the first set Carnival isnt actually a Phil song (Unless you considered it to be just off the fact that he sang it at this show) it actually is an Eric Clapton cover off his No reason to Cry album. I also wanted to mention I was at this show and it rocked start to finish with one major flaw, no one seemed to know the lyrics to Playin (the 1st verse) and the JGB girls brutally turned this version of Playin into a mockery of what potentially could have been a quality song, instrumentally it was fine though, Jimmy in particular was smoking that night (not literally or perhaps so) other then the fact that during the second set there was a point where he sat down on stage for a bit (appearing to be exhausted) and allowed the railroad earth guys do their thing for a while. THANK YOU PHIL!!

Subject: This show rocked!

I was at all three Warfield shows, and while they were off the hook themselves, this one blew them away. Six hours of live music between Phil and Umphrey's and nobody in the place stopped grooving for one beat.

I even found Chris more acceptable this show than from before. I do wish Gloria and Jackie were able to solo once, but it was such a party it was just good to have them on stage.

Subject: WOW!

I can't even explain how much fun this show was. The jam into Cumberland was unbelievable and the Box of Rain was "beyond description". It truly was a party, and I didn't see one person there who wasn't having a good time. Great show, great time, download this and check out the Umphrey's set as well.

This show was amazing. Best P&F line-up of all-time. He should take this group out on the road and skip 'The Dead' this year. Houseman kicks it into gear nicely and the energy continued throughout the evening, especially set two. The cover choices were brilliant. Can't really argue with The Band, Beatles, Dylan, Stones, Aretha, etc. Chris Robinson flat out nailed SoToTW>NSB>Hurricane, added some tasty harp playing too. Can't say enough about how much fun I had at this show. It truly was a Carnival!
Note: Carnival is a Clapton song, not a Phil song.

The orchestra that is phil and friends, and trust me if you listen to it closely, you can can tell whats really going on there, absolouteley an amazing night, no song reviews needed, those of you that were at the show, and we all know who we are, saw a little glimpse of whats yet to come, so everyeone hang in there and lets all try and "talk Phil and his ensemble of friends" into playing a little bit more.. now what do you say to that, lool, thank you Phil, Jerry, Phil, Steve, Barry, Chris, Tim, John, Todd (you signed a ticket for me hah back at some show), Andy, Carey, Gloria & Jackie! and the Houseman himself, ;) peace to you all

Subject: CARNIVAL Show - WOW!

Flew out for the festivities and was not disappointed! After getting the kninks out, the band was tight. You don't get to hear Begonias/Brown Sugar combo every night. And, what's better than ending the first set with Bertha?... Ending the whole show with Box of Rain! Come on back to Denver Phil!!!

Reviewer: Music Lover From NJ - - February 16, 2005
Subject: Thank You for a Real Good Time...

I flew out for this show. What a great vibe. The line-up this time was as good as I have ever heard. The Guys from Railroad Earth were killer. They add such a new flavor and support to all the new and old stuff Phil has been doing. The Goat was killer. I hope he keeps playing it. Cris Robinson is "Rock-N-Roll". The Brown Sugar was a kick. Barry Sles is amazing. Phil keep this line-up around. PLEASE!!!!!!

Subject: A good time was had by all!

What a night!! The music was hot the crowd was pumped-up and the sound was clear (for the most part) To bad you could only barely hear the percussionist, Mando and Banjo. No surprise there though, how can you compete with 20 million watts of electric music. Chris was great and I really enjoyed "You got to hide your love away" Phil makes sure he pays tribute to the Beatles in nearly all his shows, very cool.

Great show. Good crowd. New Speedway Boogie, Hurricane were awesome. Gotta love the Houseman bustin out Brother John in the middle of Iko. Phil keeps rockin'! This recording is pretty good as the tapers were in a perfect location to capture good sound without too much interference.

Subject: MARDI GRAS CARNIVAL!!!!!

Phil is without a doubt the undisputed champion of the psychedelic jam universe. This was no nostalgia trip. Rather it was an all out Rock and Roll Mardi Gras Carnival Fiesta, chock full of surprise after surprise. Phis is connected to and understands the past, but plays in the moment and looks toward the future, constantly pushing the envelope to the level of re-invention. This was fresh, vital, kick-ass music for the PRESENT. LIFE IS A CARNIVAL! Listen and enjoy. THANK YOU PHIL!!!!

Subject: Mardi Gras Madness

Man, what a party this show was. I had to bail out just before midnight in order to catch the last train home to the east bay. Boy, did I miss some hot music. Too many highlights to mention everything but Speedway->Hurricane and Midnight Hour sure were hot. This was one hell of a fun night. Nice audience recording here to satisfy everybody until the soundboard surfaces.

Subject: mardi gras spectacular

A fun show to be at. I loved the carnival/party theme. The show was complete with a parade of floats to start the second set. Beads and ballons were everywhere. I saw the floats during setbreak, and an Egyptian looking float led me to predict Iko Iko, and I got it. There were many good moments, including a nice New Speedway Boogie and a great Beatles cover. heck this one out for sure.

Thank you Rob. I can't believe how fast this was posted. Great show. Phil's line up rocks. I don't want Warren Haynes, Chris needs to stick around. I didn't here the samson tease, sounded like Throwin stones to me. Thanks A+
