so ive been looking for a really good show since i got back from camp bisco last month and i finally found it. sound quality is really good and it feels like your at the show when you listen. bisco is on it on this one, i highly recommend it. thanks to all the tapers.

Sick sick show. Been listening to this one a lot. From the opening of I Remember When to the end of Hope this show is one of the best Ive ever heard. And how could the guy below give this show only 4 stars. If this show isnt a 5 star show I dont know what is.

this show is five star- i love barber's voice going to shit in frog legs before one of the nastiest segues into jah dubbed out crickets- anyone hear that dj shadow "what does your soul look like (pt.4)" in there? magner deserves a nobel peace prize for the end of this magellan-

Reviewer: on_Da_Loose - - October 28, 2005
Subject: What a show!
Definately one of the best shows I've ever seen. Its just pure no BS bisco at its finest. This Frog Legs is SICK. And you gotta feel for all those cheese fans over at MSG. They missed a real gem.

absolute headie bisconess. the magellan is fucking nuts, best ive ever heard. the shelby was also uite outstanding, if your looking for a mind blowing shelby check out 11 28 03. that whole nye coutdown has so much energy my head almost exploded, i didn't see one person in hammerstein not bouncing off the walls and dancin their little hearts out, so much energy it was actually gross.

Reviewer: fucktherobots - - January 13, 2005
Subject: WOW!
This show was just straight up outstanding. If you are looking for some SOLID Disco Biscuits from 2004 this is the way to go. Watch out for the Crickets>Robots though it might kick your ass!

Reviewer: biscophish - - January 11, 2005
Subject: One of the best shows I ever saw
SSIA. This was one of the best live shows I have ever seen by any band, and I hve seen A LOT of shows. The Biscuits definitely took it to another level on NYE! It was just incredbile! Download this show now!!

Wow... this is really fucking good. After a lackluster year, tDB really pulled their shit together for the very end of 2004.

The whole show is good. Much of it is great. And a handful of moments are mindbendingly awesome.

This source sounds excellent as well. Very crisp and picks up the energy in the room.

Subject: NYE 04 05 was fucking FUN!
IMO that wasnt even the best helix this year (that goes to 1.4.04, and i know it actually was 05 when they were playing it haha) but it was definitly SICK. my highlights at the show were the robots->RLH, which was so amazing from the top of the 2nd mezz. the first jam is real cool, the 2nd jam is ok,then they go into a jam that sounded like they were gonna go into home again that was real cool, but the segue into RLH was huge. Home again to open the 2nd set was great, and its a really good version, and cool after the tease type jam in robots. this robots ending is EARTH shattering, and skull crushing, i didnt even realize it was a countdown until 4 i was too busy yelling along some of my favorite lyrics to yell along to, and to drop into dribble right there was so amazing as a new years moment, such happy music aafter the intense robots, perfect for the moment, but obviously the first thing i thought when they dropped the dribble was "YES, OUTRO JAM, FINALLY!" best caterpillar jam imo, those who werent there you should have seen barber headbanging at the end of the jam :)
amazing magellan
crix had some cool stuff going, should have stayed DUB imo tho!!! damnit! still cool tho.
hope was a great encore
GREAT SHOW!
YOU SHOULDA BEEN THERE!

Man what an awesome new years run! There isn't a lot that can be said hasn't already, but sick nye countdown, killer magellan, and thank you so much to Sammy and I wish him the best of luck in all his future endeavors

Subject: New Years Show 2005-Bisco-Hammerstein Ballroom
This show was amazingly sick. It was my first Bisco show, but i heard great things about them live. Boy did the Biscuits not fail in proving that one. This show was by far one of the most amazing shows i have ever been too. The countdown tease was amazing. If you didn't make it to this show, sux for you.

Reviewer: AntelopeJim420 - - January 8, 2005
Subject: wow.
was at this show...first bisco show ever...what everyone says is right. this was an incredible show. second set was what i had hoped for most of my life, and the magellan had people walking out saying it was the best one ever. the hope brought a great close and we all left shaking our heads wondering if it was truly possible. thanks everyone, and get the show NOW.

Reviewer: g dubs - - January 8, 2005
Subject: They're back!
best run in quite awhile. i was very pleasantly suprised. NYE was the best second set i've ever seen, matter of fact that show was probably the best show ive ever seen out of sixty something. thanks guys. i knew it was gonna happen again. Please SAMMY, dont go.

Reviewer: thecorereactor - - January 8, 2005
Subject: Wow!
In addition to what everyone already said, I just have to say, Wow! I go to mostly every show this band plays (since 2000) and I was again STUNNED by them which I haven't been in a good 2 years, atleast not like that. There's not enough room on here to describe into words. Highlights: Set 3 is a jamming masterpiece, and Set 2 is the best way to ever ring in a NYE. Ladies and Robots in Set 1 are also WAY above average. You know, I might give way too many shows 5 star reviews, and overhype them, but this one desrves it alot more than most others. MUST HAVE. CONFIRMED.

Subject: Amazing show
Great show... 2nd set had me dancing without even relizing i was doing it... robots> dribble> heli with the nye count down and lyrics... sick set

Reviewer: Tommythecat205 - - January 8, 2005
Subject: This show kicked ass, best biscuits show I've ever seen
This was the best show I've caught in a while, if there was an option for a million stars I would give it a million. Anyone know of anyone programs so i can download this format? Any help would be cool.

Reviewer: Nughubbas - - January 7, 2005
Subject: WOOOHOOOOO NYE BABY!!!!!!
First I would like start out by saying "Thank You. Thank you From the Bottom of my Heart" to all the peeps involved in getting this show up. ( patience IS a virtue )

I love the Biscuits so much, there is no symbol on my keyboard that I could use to express how much this band has meant to me for the past 4 1/2 years of my life, and THIS night , December 31st , year 2004 was PURE MAGIC. If you were not at the Hammerstien on this night, well... why werent you? GET THIS EFFING SHOW NOW!!! oh yea , sound is first class (obviously)

I will surely be crying at the bus stop on my way home from work tonight.

Thank you Disco Biscuits, Thank you PLAN C, Thank you Nick Colovos, Thank you ARCHIVE.ORG, Thank you computer, THANK YOU HEADPHONES!

Hope for 2005
