Over a five hour show so you get your moneys worth from Phil. Anders Oborne stole the show with his amazing guitar and vocals. Eat A peach album from Allman Brothers was featured. Set list below:

This show was just completely off the hook. The song selection was fantastic & the interplay between musicians superb. Had a great spot in the balcony where I was able to get GREAT pictures. The sound was incredible. Phil out did himself with this lineup. I would definitely put this up there with my favorite Phil & Friends shows.

Phil looked healthy and happy, incredible energy from the stage, the boys ROCKED!!! They really enjoyed each other on stage. Seemed to be a number of parallels in songs chosen an being at the Rose. Awesome people in attendance, meet lots of new friends. I would like to thank "Wharf Rats" for their attendance and support, Peace out from Dirk T. Houston, TX

I have been to over 50 concerts this year seeing everyone from Bruce down to obscure bands but Phil and his boys absolutely blew the roof off. I was so impressed I must go see more shows to see if this was a one time or they can do it again

I decided to see this show last minute. I needed a break from the grind of a trade show I had been doing for the past few days. What better way to release tension than Phil!!! Well, from what I heard about the show the night before, I was in for a real treat!! Stanley Jordan played with the boys the whole show and he is one of my favorite guitar players. Emotion exudes from his fingers and his unorthodox playing method fits in well with the songs. John was superb and Jackie Greene adds a cool bliuesy feel to every song. I love Joe Russo on drums because he can reinterpret these siongs that were originally played with two drummers and sound like he has 4 arms!!! and Phil's bass playing has never been better! really was a sweet show and I am so happy I went.

The boys sounded great, one of my favorite P & F lineups. Stanley Jordan was a great addition. One of my favorite post Jerry shows.

I have been seeing Phil Lesh and Friends for 16 years now. This was by far one of the greatest ensembles he has played with. With a few more shows this lineup could give The Quintet a run for its money.

Transcendent music by a true genius. The venue was new to me but quickly became a favorite! the sunset on the beach was indicative of what was to come

I"ve seen lots of configurations of Phil and Friends and this was one of the most inventive. Really loved the horns which made familiar songs sound new and exciting and stimulating. Lots of jazzy moments (and the singing first set first night was a big wobbly) and funkiness, and some abrupt transitions, but would definitely see this group again.

This was really a glorified garage band. While there is true merit in the band (these kids could evolve into something extraordinary), they are not ready for this grand of a stage, especially under the weight of expectation that comes with the "Phil & Friends" name. Ticket prices, billing, and venue all imply a certain level of performance, which simply wasn't met. Only half the show was Grateful Dead songs, which is what I expected to hear from a band called "Phil Lesh & Friends". The covers all seemed to be chosen for the memorable guitar hooks that kids gravitate to as they learn to play guitar. If this show had been billed "Lesh Family Band" or something similar, and been at a much smaller venue, it would have been outstanding.

This show was great from the first note to the last. Phils newest ensemble has incredible energy and talent. Don't let the gray hair fool you with this group. I just came off 5 shows with Furthur, and Phil and friends literally blew them away!!!

Nice country. Small hall, about the size of old basketball court. Great sound. Extensive jamming. Best Grateful Dead-related concert I've heard in years.

one of the best Phil Lesh and Friends shows that I have ever seen in my 36 years of seeing Grateful Dead related bands. What a beautiful location Penn's Peak is!! On top of the mountain with a spectacular view of the Pocono's. Would definitely go back for a show.

Simply the best Phil show I've seen. Scofield and Kadlecik fed off each other perfectly. It was just one of those magical nights that makes you shake your head in disbelief at what true musicians can produce in such a short time together. What makes Phil so great is his willingness to let his "friends" stretch out and take the music where it is meant to be. I have always preferred Phil shoes to Ratdog and even Furthur... A night I will not forget. Thank you, Phil.

Phil's sons are up and coming... They were GREAT at Sullivan Hall but seemed a bit tired on the Boat Cruise... His kids seem to be learning that touring isn"t ALL fun and games but rather REAL WORK ESPECIALLY when they did five shows in a row with many more to come... Keep it up guys you're already good and if u keep at it you'll be great in the not too distant future. (:

I attended the Monday evening show at Roseland. I have been a fan since 1974 and have seen many shows over the years, including a Wall of Sound and many of the '77 gems. This particular show was not enjoyable for me. The reason was the very poor quality of the sound. Phils bass was overpowering with heavy lo frequency muddled tones. The volume was excessive, and the throbbing was actually painful. I found myself standing behind the pillars at the bar trying to escape. I could not stand it any more so I left halfway thru the second set. Phil never seemed to play any notes of higher register, everything was super low thudding, not a hint of sweetness. One might say I should be able to appreciate the artistry in spite of the sound, and I might agree, except the sound was so totally poor that for the Band to ignore it was an endorsement. Part of the trip for me is the absolute beauty of the sound of Phil's bass, the unique woodey tones (BEW), sadly on this night it was subsonic and not much more. This show was physically painful to be at, my chest was vibrating from the low frequency sound waves, and I feared that I might be doing myself harm. I had been to 2 of the shows at the Beacon last year, and did not like them very much either, with Bobbys thin metallic sounding guitar, and overdone keyboards. I much prefer the runs at the Nokia, and Beacon from a few years back.

So much fun watching a seasoned pro like Lesh interact with young talent that want to burn up what they got. Musically, Lesh brings out the best in his accompanying players as well as they bring out his best. These guys peaked everytime they went into a jam, keeping in the good ol' tradition of our beloved forefathers of the jam!

One of the best shows I've ever seen and I've seen well over 100 shows. Jordan's chemistry with the band was undeniable and the jamming was elevated to new heights with 3 premier lead guitarists trading unforgettable licks backed by the fearless Lesh's bass, the backbone of the band. I do hope Phil decides to play with Stanley again, in the future, as this combo should not be missed. As to the future, I think Phil should bring in Branford M, John Scofield and Stanley J along with John K and Jackie G for an allstar reunion! I can dream, right?

A first set of upbeat tunes that had a feel of Mardi Gras. Touch of Gray, Ruben & Cherise, Ramble on Rose, and Love Each Other got it going. Stanley Jordan sat in for the full show and started to turn it on during Here Comes the Sun. In the second set Mr Jordan started to really get involved with great leads on Fire on the Mountain and Eyes of the World before fading into an amazing instrumental of Somewhere Over the Rainbow. As Stanley hit the last notes the band stopped and all applauded him. It was that good.
