Subject: Amazing show...fantastic recording.

Amazing show. So many great moments. This is the first moe. show I have downloaded in a while and I'm very impressed. Alex, thanks for the awesome recording! It really does sound like a soundboard/matrix. Fantastic work.

Reviewer: griffin3141 - - March 6, 2008
Subject: One of the greatest live shows ever

Was at the show and was fucking blown away. After Lazarus, I turned to my friend and was just like... that was the best song I have ever heard. Wow.... thank god for this recording. I will remember that night forever.

As for the cops and gas, I managed to ditch right as the show ended, so the cops weren't out yet when I left. Were they doing all that much, cause ppl were buying and selling shit within 10 feet of them and they didn't seem to give a shit before the show.

Akg has a bit more bass, but you cannot beat the stereo field produced by this recording . Outstanding pull !!

Reviewer: moemark - - February 29, 2008
Subject: Sweet show, Excellent recording!

Seems moe. turns the wrenches and gets tighter and tighter as the tour continues. Fantastic show, and the sound quality of this one is superb. Can't tell you how much I appreciate the effort involved in recording / transferring / and uploading shows. Thanks!

Does anyone have the Buffalo 1/31 show?

Subject: the SOUND

Ya know, this recording really has great sound. It's just CLEAR! I'm increasing impressed with the quality stuff you folks are putting up--Alex, it's just getting better and better--thanks so much for filling my mp3 and my head!

Reviewer: jamfan89 - - February 11, 2008
Subject: any videos?

This was a sick concert, probably the best moe. show I've been to yet. The drum solo in brent black was amazing. The only bad thing about the show was the cops raiding the nitrus at the end. Does anyone have any more videos from the show? I would love to see them.

And balcony seats is the place to be

balcony seats were not the bomb.

Reviewer: Goofybojangels - - February 9, 2008
Subject: balcony seats are bomb

What are you talking about, balcony seats are bomb, depending on where you are sitting i guess....i had top row so i had the entire aisle to dance in up top.

who cares about the balloons out in the street, it's been happening for the past couple of years now and it happens everywhere. All over park street i got asked by every guy you wouldn't make eye contact with if I wanted any and every type of drug. I just laugh at it because cops are everywhere and yet tons of people still walk away with fist of balloons. my friend got a couple i just passed because i was already gone and didnt need anything else that was going to blow apart my brain. I wonder if any of you saw me, tall kid with long blond hair, grateful dead shirt that was tie die and had the bears spinning into the center.

Just dont let them get to you.

Subject: Best show ever!

I agree with the other reviews here, this is probably the best of the 20-30 moe. shows I have been to. Check out a little video clip here:

i know what those are for:) 5 stars

Reviewer: elwood802 - - February 6, 2008
Subject: Quality

Nice Crisp sound, good tracking, everything you want in a recording.

Beedogs do it again. Thanks for the oven bags after the show AP.

Reviewer: NHtransfunkgroover - - February 5, 2008
Subject: Great show

Theres always cops at the Orpheum when shows like Ratdog, Phil, moe., or the Biscuits come into town. And theres pretty much always someone (same person?) selling gas. Seen it for a few years now. I loved the guitar effects at the end of Queen of Everything. Haven't given much of the new album a listen, may have to pick it up. I like the Jason Adler version a little bit better which is up on etree i think but both are great pulls. Thank you tapers!

Reviewer: spwal - - February 5, 2008
Subject: excellent show.

second edit: ok, initial excitement of having the show up has passed....still an awesome show and a great recording by alex! The synth bass on Yodelittle sounded cooler in concert imho, but still awesome version....

just a great setlist, a must have show.

edit:

ya, wtf with the baloons, they did that last time, not a good idea generally, and a worse idea in front of the state house.

Subject: good/bad/ugly

was a great show expect the guy sitting behind me that started screaming at the poor dude setting up equipment before the show even started...other than that Punchline was probably the best i've ever heard! btw, cops were outside after show because some guy was dishing out nitrus balloons..on Tremont st. downtown boston...great idea

Spoiled fucking rotten at this show...i cant believe this show 02-01 amazing as well..show in buffalo was lacking ROB!!! theres nothing not to enjoy about this show.

Reviewer: kdub is king - - February 4, 2008
Subject: high energy fantastic playing

This was one of the best shows ive ever seen. the highlight was the entire show but probably singing onstage with them for the encore

Reviewer: Spamalope - - February 4, 2008
Subject: AP Representin'

Crystal clear sound, less than 48 hour turnaround, not only to BTree but archive! and as usual, I can actually trust where the track breaks are.

Add to that an incredible setlist on a tour where they're playing really well and... well... A+

Reviewer: moeman1700 - - February 4, 2008
Subject: moe. on fire

I have not heard the recording, but I thought the show itself - close to 3.5 hours total music - was the best I have heard. Al was on fire, the selections were excellent, although I always want to hear Recreational Chemistry and Timmy Tucker, and the band had lots of energy. A long long segue between tunes in the second set touched several melodies. Overall, totally excited to catch them again soon, perhaps in Northampton, MA.
Thanks for the recording.

Reviewer: PaulShniter - - February 4, 2008
Subject: yay

this was a good show. i had balcony seats but it was still a great experience. except for the cops outside when it was over. i was stoked when they played yodelittle.
