"Yea to the poster saying he next night wasn't good either? First off they didn't play the next night, and he next show was Albany. Which is almost universally regarded as the best of these 20 th anniversary shows! lol. So not sure if or referring to Nassau or just are like a lot of people on these boards and don't have a clue? I'm hoping you were just referring to the Nassau show and didn't realize he Albany show was the next night. Cuz other than people saying that the Jeff Holdsworth appearance messed with the flow a little of he second set that Albany show is absolutely fire. Such a fun energetic night with one of the best most cohesive first sets of post hiatus that includes a jam chart noteworthy version of wolfmans as well as a stellar chalk dust opener, inspired stash and a sick guyute. And he second set features a tweezer >2001 sequence that almost everyone who is familiar raves about. So hopefully your just mistaken in your comment cuz that Albamy show was not only the best of that short run but also just a sick standalone show compared to any run. And notice I didn't say people complained about he music when Jeff joined. Other than some cobwebs for the first tune or so he actually fits right and provides some nice rhythm fills during his stage appearance. It's just that the introduction and the cobwebs in the first tune he plays made some people say it affected the flow which let's be honest I think other than festivals where time isn't an issue , that any interruption like a guest or a long speech or something can kinda jarr you out of your groove temporarily. So I can understand the sentiment although I enjoyed his guest appearance thoroughly. But honestly this Philly show isn't as bad as people are making it sound anyway. Nothing usually is when it gets down to it. But def no negatives with the Albany show. "

"Worst show I've been to out of 11. Cars trucks buses, seven below, limb by limb, and character zero were well play, but not much enthusiasm. Everything else was mediocre at best. Very disappointed as it was the first time I saw a lot of these songs live. Would not recommend this show."

"This is one of my favorite shows because I saw it with the love of my life. Despite the quality of their play and the excessive amount of Sierra Nevada I consumed, I'll always remember it by being with her. Especially now that we're not together anymore. Great show. 2003 was a good year."

"I like this download. I know it has had some so-so (and flat out poor) reviews,but I have no major complaints. 1st set seems solid. The 2nd set slows down a bit with the Tom segment. But "Twist","Taste","Character Zero" all have some very fine moments. "

"The sound-mix of this release is far better than of most others. Really good. This is a solid show. Powerful Set 1. Great Julius and Twist. Goes down hill from there a bit. Albany takes the price for best of the short run, followed by Boston and this one."
