Notes

Notes: If you are making audio cds, a nice break can be found as per disc 2: s2t1-s2t5,
disc 3: s2t6-s2ta

This was an exceptional show.

For instance, outside of the 'traditional' prefaced beat-count of biodtl, Box of Rain featured
a subtle lyric variation; mana points to you if you can hear the difference.

Actually, that's the longest dark star since '73.

This show is just simply superb.
This is the BEST INCARNATION of Phil and Friends ever assembled.
The drive, passion, flare and execution of these songs is just breathtaking.
The band is tighter than a duck's anus.
An appalling analogy but all I can think of at the moment.
YOU MUST DOWNLOAD MAY 14TH WARFIELD FOR A 46 MINUTE DARK STAR - LONGEST EVER PERFORMED
PHIL - YOU ARE A GENIUS. GOD BLESS YOU DUDE.
MAY YOUR LIVER LAST FOR ANOTHER HUNDRED YEARS.

Subject: Philly !!!!!!!!!!

I was one of the blessed that were in attendance at this show. It's as great as the previous reviewers say, and more! MUCH more, things that can't be described happed that evening. Phil & his entire band were energetically alive. This audience recording is admirable, but we really needs us a board &/or video of this phenominal performance. I thank you for passing this along. Peace.

Subject: The China Rider is Epic

If you want to cut to the chase, not to say that the whole show isn't phenomenal from beginning to end, --go straight to the China --> Rider. It is Epic. Need I say more. And the sound quality is exceptional. Makes me feel like I'm back in the Greek.
