This was my then-future-wife's first dead-family show, and it delivered well. Joan was the hook for her and getting to sing along with The Weight brought it home. I go back to this show frequently and love the singing in Magnolia Mountain. Phil kills all night, and the setlist is mostly just good fun, plus a few heart-warmers/leg-resters. Does anyone remember the woman getting naked at the end of Phil's set before being escorted out by some uniformed gentlemen? Thanks for taping!

I missed Montage this tour, but cop hassles notwithstanding, this show is some serious sh*t, yall! This stellar Rob Clarke recording captures the summer tour at its creative peak. Larry Campbell's intros to "Wheel" on this tour are nothing short of little symphonies for guitar. (Can't remember if he does it here at Montage, but oooooh, the way they jam out of Wheel and into the Playin reprise gives me shivers.

Montage does suck when it comes to the police.It can be a great fun place.Great show and always a good time in the summer though.Love Phil but the voice is going.

great show, love it when phil and trey get together. But phil really needs to quit singing. I mean no offense I love Phil and Friends, but when phil tries to sing terrapin, ouch. It hurts the music

First all montage sucks. I have never seen more police bullshit in a lot in all my life. The second set was amazing don't let them fool you, Trey and Phil together are amazing. The "hybrid" sound they formed was awesome, but Bethel was the show to see on this tour. And a personal note thanks to the scumbag dead head who sold my girlfriend a fake ticket.

I was in Scranton this night even though i dont really like scranton. i was going to go to philly to see Ratdog but i heard it there was supposed to by severe thunderstorms (which it never did)and it was on the fesival pear at penns landing so i went to scranton. The first set was great. The sitting on top of the world opener got me moving my dancing feet from the very begining. the Highlight of the first set in my opinion was the mississippi half step > The Weight to close the first set and sadly had to say goodbye to barry sless for the rest of the show. Now don't get me wrong I think trey is an amazing guitarist and i see how much phil likes playing with him but personally I LOVE BARRY and think he deserves to be out there the whole show. I really enjoyed the winter tour geting to see him play the guitar not only pedal steel. Well any way Trey came out and played the second set and of couse it still rocked. terripan station is always cool when phil sings. it brings a tear to my eye. The morning dew was superb joan really does a nice job on this tune. i think bonnie dobson would be proud. the wheel is on of my all time favorite Grateful Dead songs and since I was born in 1985 and unfortunatly never ever got to see them do it it is so magical when i see Phil do it. thank you Phil for a real good time.

it would of been a five star show if trey didnt kill it... but phil was absolutely awesome!! the wheel fucking rocked ... he had the mountain on fire... 5 stars to you phil!!!!!

what a good day to be in scranton

Yeah, I have to say I can hardly believe these Rob Clarke recordings are even audience, they sound like sbd. Rob were you touring in an RV with a peace sign flag? I think I met you at this show. Whoever it was I met gave me an amazing recording of the Bethel show on CD and I remember thinking "how did he have it so fast?" Anyway, great job rob. Keep up the good work.

I trully enjoyrd the show and am glad that somone taped the shoe because I did not see that many. I was close to up front and really enjoyed phill's leadership and Trey joining him for the second set WOW. How about Phill can sing Terapin.

Listening to this, at one point, I thought 'whoa', I went to turn it up and I hear (presumably) the taper say "Oh Yeah!" This is a very good recording of a phenominal show. Joan actually made me cry during Morning Dew. And I was laughing during Terrapin. I just couldn't believe that they were driving this so hard. Its like the music was out in front of them and they were hanging on for dear life. This is good stuff - download now, send it to all your friends. Wake the neighbors. Sound is amazingly good - I'm sure they'll release it remixed and I'll get it then, but for now its as good as it gets. Much respect, Rob, and thank you. Maybe I only heard it in my head. But, wow, you done good here!

I was the taper and you presumed wrong, that is not me saying "Oh Yeah". Ive made 100s of recordings and my voice can be heard on only one that I know of.

man these rob clark auds are sweet everything sounds good to me. thank you PL&F .thanks again rob. hope your havin agood time

THANK YOU . . . FOR A REAL GOOD TIME.

Couldn't ask for a better show. Loved every minute of it and thanks to Archive, I'm still loving it. Thanks for such a quick post.
Trey for entire second set!
Good audience sound quality.

Mississippi Half-step, the Weight, amazing Terrapin, Morning Dew all shine.
