Thank you to my Dad, I could not have taped any of these shows without his help

Thank you Bill Zimo for the help all summer, who knew there was so much you could do with duct tape.

Check out this awesome charity shirt that is supporting the National Brain Tumor Society. My friend Jon "Bubbles" Heller, who is a Brain Cancer Survivor, is selling these to raise money for Brain Cancer research. Our time here is so fragile and can be taken away in an instance. Plus the shirts are sick! His story can be found on this page as well, Gratefully Not Dead:

Subject: The last 1... for now at least

Yet another great recording Eric! The amount of effort that goes into capturing these recordings is tremendous! Most take the entire process for granted. Thank you for making this available and so quickly.

To others listening here, thank a Taper when you have the chance; they do the hard work so you don't have to!

PS: jonnyb73 - Your review is of the content and not the tapers work; give the Taper a break and retract your misaligned rating. If you were there you would recognize that the capture by EJL95 was excellent under trying conditions. If your beef is with Dead & Co take it to them on Social Media and not here...

Subject: thank god it's over

sounds like dogshit, soooo slow and boring and Mayer ruins everything he sings.
what a blight to the name of the Grateful Dead, these shows should never have happened.

Subject: OMGD! This Recording is Dope!

I must say I absolutely love that there are 25 files! Albert would be proud!

As the drone show was ending I walked out of top front left to the Concourse and turned left, someone left a Giants “25” script sitting there all big and photo-oppy, and we got busy.

Thank you so much for putting forth the time, effort, research, commitment and intentionality to have my ear balls flying ablaze listening to this again, and, again, and, again …

What’s Become of the baby Grateful Dead?

And, Albert’s Problem Child LSD-25 …

Trippin! ✨🤪✨

Subject: Superb quality

I was just listening to this *fantastic* Slipknot on Nugs, and thought to myself "I wonder if there are recordings of this show on Archive?" So I came here, found this, and fired up Slipknot.

To be perfectly honest, it didn't sound *quite* as good, but it's so close it's basically not worth mentioning. (The Nugs recording is louder, that might be the main difference.)

So while this might sound like a half-hearted review, it's actually intended to be a rave. This is a superb recording of a brilliant performance, five stars all the way!

(I was on the floor Sunday, and looked around for the taper section, but I didn't see one. I just saw one stereo pair of mics, mounted VERY high, which I assumed belonged to Nugs or the venue. I admit I didn't look very hard for it.)

Subject: Fare thee well - yet again

Thx so much for recording this. An excellent finish to 8 years of great music. Keeping the flame alive and also taking it to new places. An excellent finish as said but perhaps not the grand final some had expected more just another fine (but xtra long) Deadco show. But isn't that the typically good old prankster way? PS. As for the sound I would call it a draw between the two recordings available so far.

Subject: Congratulations to Eric Lugassy!

Congratulations to the taper who almost always managed to make his recordings available by the next morning after the show. Also, if I'm not mistaken, the taper who came the closest to submitting recordings of all the shows in this final tour. You only missed a few, such as the Gorge shows. That's a lot of work and effort--not to mention the traveling!

This one is another good tape, but this time, the only other tape so far submitted is, to my ears, the best recording of this show. More clean and clear sound. You can't win them all...

Subject: Thanks dog!

Thank you for allowing me to follow this tour. To you and all the tapers out there!
Peace and love!

Reviewer: Queen_Jane1119 - - July 17, 2023
Subject: Grateful for you, your work, and this will forever be one of my favorite shows as well as listen(s)

Thank you so much Eric, I cannot express my gratitude enough for all of your efforts--- we had some tough moments, but this tape here, succeeds anything you've previously done. IMO this is your best work yet, and I hope it continues. It was so reassuring to both of us to know that you were going to get a great pull from this so magical moment in Dead and Company/GD history. I was nervous about hearing Mickey-- but you got it- ALL, precisely and clearly. I hope to follow you on your next venture and that you enjoyed your summer! #NFA🌹👑💀⚡🌹👑

Subject: Amazing and thank you

Amazing Eric! Thank you so much for uploading all these shows, and with such haste! It’s been a pleasure being able to experience the shows the day after because of your work. I really enjoyed myself, and I’m sure you did too!
