Reviewer: Bill M - - September 9, 2008
Subject: A nice find

I wasn't familiar with these guys & I stumbled across this here on the Archive. Really enjoyed it. A nice blend of covers & originals. Thanks for the recording - great job!

Reviewer: morst - - August 16, 2008
Subject: I had a great time at this one!

I'd give it five stars, but I'm feeling like not assigning a star rating since I recorded it and am anything BUT objective. My favorites continue to be Blue Line, Get On The Road, Great Western Slide, Along The Way, and of course Welcome Back My Friend, particularly the end part jam which was developed a little later than the main theme of the song. Amazingly fun to see old friends and new, and even get a chance to turn some new friends and family on to Dixie's music!

Subject: Excellent reunion show

I used to sneak in to see Blue Dixie in their early years ('88-'90) when I was underage and living in Columbia, MO. I spent many wonderful evenings at their shows. I'm always a bit skeptical of any reunion show, but Blue Dixie was tight! It was great to hear some of my favorite originals and some tasty covers of classic tunes (Kid Charlemagne and Nothing But Flowers are noteworthy).
The recording itself is perfectly executed with a nice balance between AUD and SBD. It's well worth your time to check out. Can't wait to hear the multi-track that was done as well!

Subject: ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!!!!!

I thought this show was awesome. These guys have such a great sound and original songs. I wish they would just hit the road again. I caught both reunion shows in '06 and have been hooked ever since. Took off working at The Pageant for this night and it was truly the best show I have seen all year! BY FAR! One of the funnest shows of my short life... THANK YOU BLUE DIXIE YOU GUYS ARE INCREDIBLE!!!
