4 out of 5 stars Worth it.......2004-05-14

This is my favorite post Jerry Dead related offering, at least as far as commercial releases go. Phil, Steve Kimock, and Jorma, you just can't go wrong with that combo. There are some very uplifting musical moments here. Unless you're a big fan of Jorma you probably won't find the vocals to be very inspiring but to my ears they are not a distraction. The music here is good on its own merits but if you're expecting to hear the Grateful Dead, you might want to look elsewhere.

I was listening to this "music" whilst I cooked the ham. My gatorade spilled on my cheese and I ate the silly peanut butter. When I finished the cd, I heard god's voice, and he said to me "bite the molar and chew your food." and my life goes accordingly, to the ebbing and flowing of the cheese wiz, which ever so much flows through my endless cavity and chasm that is my lack of musical appreciation. Chew my spirit and gergil my noun. No predicate to follow, and no torque to be found. Chill out on a frosty GB blerg, and gnaw at the mind of Phil Lesh, for he is so happy in his galavanting that I can only imagine his frame of game. Silly music...made me scream.

4 out of 5 stars The Point of Phil and Friends..........2002-05-14

I don't think anyone should fault this band -- or any of the other incarnations of Phil and Friends -- for not sounding like GD. I think Phil's orginal intention was to keep this music alive by dropping it in the middle of different groups of players, just to see how it came out. There's no question that this version of the Friends has a lighter touch than the current one -- and that's not a question of good or bad, just different. This lineup -- with Jorma's vocals and Kimock's shimmering leads -- is absolutely the right one for tunes like "Good Shepard." And it does an outstanding job of interpreting (not re-creating) the GD tunes Phil chose to include.
The point, I think, was to use these tunes as a place to start. From there, the musicians choose the way. It doesn't sound like GD because of the people involved, just like these Friends don't sound like the current band does. That's the best endorsement of any version of Phil and Friends, live or on this release -- a bunch of talanted, like-minded musicians working over the good stuff. Big fun.

3 out of 5 stars The Ace of Bass... :).......2002-03-26

First off, I have to say that I'm looking forward to the
upcoming studio debut of Phil and Friends--NOT the same
lineup of P+F featured on this live album. Personally, I'd
rather listen to The Strange Remain by The Other Ones (a release
which also features Phil, and sounds more like the GD than this
does), but what's offered here makes for some worthy listening.

I always liked Phil, particularly "Unbroken Chain", which contrary to what one reviewer posted here, DID get played live by
the GD on the Spring and Summer tours in 1995--their two last tours ever. Having personally witnessed two performances of the "Chain" on 3/23/95 in Charlotte and then in April in Tampa, FL, I can tell you it did happen. And I have the tapes to prove it, too. :)

What I'm not sure of, with respect to this release, is Phil's ability to sustain a listener's interest vocally over the course of an entire album. He's the only lead vocalist here, and it makes for a bit of monotony after awhile. But if you don't mind Phil and only Phil on the vox, then give it a shot. It may just be your stick of licorice..
