Critical reception

On jambands.com, Larson Sutton wrote, "It's a mostly mellow show... Two songs pulled from a Palo Alto date two nights later serve as an "encore", filling out the winning two-disc set. All in all, this edition reignites a GarciaLive series that's been so adept at detailing the arc of Garcia's solo excursions." [5]
