This was my first trip to Washington. The overall experience of this show was fantastic. The sound quality of this show is awesome! I give it 4 stars because the tempo on two of the songs, Cumberland and Casey Jones, to me just don't sound good slow. The first set was really amazing and the views on night 1 were second to none. Feels like a stranger was really jammy, and it was a good thing since there was a snafu at the gate. My friend and I didn't have a bag (which we would regret later) so we got in before the show began. Many people however did not.

The highlight of the first set had to have been Must have been the roses. While it probably wasn't the best version of the song the boys have ever done, it was the first one as Dead and Company.

The second set was nothing short of spectacular save for the Casey Jones, which started slow and just never sped up. Shunshine came right as the sun was going down, and Darkstar>Scarlet>China Doll>Darkstar>Eyes sequence sent chills up my spine more than once. There might have been a few melted faces and assorted other melted things going on. This was ALMOST good enough to make me forget the extreme temperature drop after the sun went down. IT WAS SOOOOOO COLD! Still Drums and Space was stellar and Black Peter is always a favorite of mine. If you were there, we shared an excellent time!

Not only do these set-lists READ LIKE A DREAM, but this show DRIFTS ONTO THE DISCERNING EAR-DRUMS and transcends ya' into the stratosphere of DREAMLAND!!! And OF COURSE, the now infamous "Dark Star", which seems to be rolled out every other night lately, is beautifully laced with a "...>Scarlet>China Doll>,,,,," and back before landing into a POWERFULLY , BOUNCY "...>Eye's of the World...>" that won't disappoint even the oldest.

Great sound on this recording. A ginormous thank you to the tapers who put the time & money into recording & posting these shows on archive.org. Thank you to Dead & Company also for playing such fantastic setlists.

Outstanding quality on this recording. Well done.

Nice work on the Gorge recordings! Thank you! Did anyone record Shoreline & Hollywood Bowl?



See ya in Boulder!

I have been dying for postings of the current tour and here it is at last. Sweet recording! Loving the clarity of the high end. Great set list and the boys seem to be having contagious fun on stage.
