Notes

* Completes 4/9 version
** With Erica Lynn Gruenberg on vocals
*** Completes 4/13 Version

# 6/2004 - SoundForge used to adjust imaging, eq, and compress. Static/resonance from the PA was present in set one and gets really bad at 8:26 of crickets, and I had to do a rather severe EQ job to mitigate the annoyance [partially at least, i think it is better than it was prior to the adjustment; I could not figure out any other way to help it otherwise] so that is what you hear at that point. Set 2 is normal. Set 2 is normal. This show sounds nice overall.

Disc II is utterly mindbending.........

Reviewer: ireesteeve - - July 27, 2007
Subject: phenomenal!

Listened to this show in July 2007...looking back I am pretty sure this was my first Bisco show, before I even knew what the band was all about. This is a must-listen, hands-down! Check it out or eat my shorts!

Top notch recording as well, kudos. The biscuits even sing well at this show!

Disc 2 is some of the best biscuits ever played. legit.

I loved this transition-laden show from start to finish, but it did seem to keep getting better and better all the way through.

I streamed it at work and for some reason, Little Shimmy would not play so I missed out on that one.

Great sound quality, toboot

Reviewer: M1ndlessDribble - - February 25, 2006
Subject: Awesome show!

Get this show if you haven't already! I was hesitant at first because I have so many shows already, but alas this show is my new favorite

+The sound quality is fantastic
+The whole show is SMOKIN! ESPECIALLY the entire 2nd set; choc' full of biscuit madness with awesome transitions between songs

Just get it!

Subject: Best of 2001?

I think so with 9/1 and 11/2. The recording sounds great, the sets are great, the encore is great. I could go into detail, or you could download and enjoy one of the finest Bisco shows out there.
I will say that the segue in Shimmy > Munchkins is the most perfect segue ever into Munchkins, which is a near flawless version.

*Edit* 10/14/04:
The reviewer below states that to his knowledge this is the only time the Biscuits have pulled off two completeley segued sets. This feat also occurred at Tammany Hall on 12/26/02, which is also a phenomenal show. It might have happened another time, but of the many many shows I've seen/heard, these are the only two that I can think of offhand.

*Edit* 2/17/05: I thought Frog Legs was the encore, but upon further review it's not, so I was wrong. That show is still great, as is this. Get both!

This show easily makes my top 10 of post-1999 biscuits shows. A non-stop thrill-ride, literally! Enough words, let the music do the talking. Download now!

PS: on 12/26/02, wasn't there a break between Haleakala Crator and Froglegs? If so, this would be the only show without a break in both sets and encore.

Subject: Great show

Great show! Wonderful performance and recording quality. What is labeled as song 7 on disc 2 (the second part of Munchkin Invasion) won't fit on disc two so it is actually the first song of disc 3.

Reviewer: rideATW - - October 4, 2004
Subject: An amazing night in Bisco

From the Hope opener all the way through the triple encore tDB did not stop playing -- literally! As far as I know this is the first time for this feat to have occured -- I'm not sure if it's happened since. Nevertheless, it is/was quite an achievement and really speaks to just what kind of a night 4/14/01 was. My personal highpoints of the show are the 'Lil Shimmy>Munchkin segue -- listen carefully and hear tDB play both songs at the same time! And also, the Mr. Don encore. Rare, great song and stellar version -- one of the best ever. In sum, so is this show. Get it now.
