Subject: My first show!

This was my first Biscuits show. I went with some of my best friends, and the experience changed my life!

Unfortunately, one of those friends recently passed away. It was his first show as well. We rocked this archive recording countless times.

So if anyone can hook it up with a ticket stub or poster, I'll pay (as well as be eternally grateful)

Email me @ karannair@rocketmail.com

First time hearing this show. The second set is HEAVEN. You really get to experience just how patient they can be when it comes to building a jam. The Berstein>Rainbow is beautiful. Then all throughout spacebird>orch>spacebird is an unbelievable build that keeps you on the verge of climax leading to the explosion during the end of spacebird>Bernstein. Well played guys.

Subject: Great show to download

I would love to get more biscuit shows just like this one. There are so many of them. Thanks to whoever put this up.

Reviewer: bubbbleHouse - - January 11, 2009
Subject: B&C MONSTER SANWICH!!!

*this whole show is good but the B&C sandwich is that bisco that's "just on point"

== to me this is the perfect bisco, very laidback but at the sametime really onpoint and focused with the jams not rushed but not dragged out to a 26 minute IMAN thats just UNTZ beats for the last 15 minutes of the song.

-also the gangster is pretty good

Reviewer: daBiscoLotusSector - - May 11, 2008
Subject: holy shit

the best show ive ever seen by anyone hands down... ive seen the biscuits like 20 times since this weekend run and this night still takes the cake, why couldnt they play like this in 08 at starland instead of that gay ass pi jam... and i agree with the one guy about the recording over sbd because obviously its clearer in sbd but anyone that wasnt there could never understand how intense the crowd was without hearing the recording and its a damn good recording so why even get the sbd

Reviewer: embza - - March 12, 2008
Subject: incredible AUD

this is one of the only audience copies i've ever heard, buiscuits or otherwise, that i prefer over the soundboard copy. the sound quality not only captures the intensity of the show but the feeling in the crowd to make it a very special recording. bravo mr. hulbert

Reviewer: JHurlbs81 - - December 8, 2007
Subject: No Thursday tape on LMA

Audience taping was not allowed on Thursday night. I doubt you'll see the soundboard until after the new album comes out, if at all.

Reviewer: augustus west - - July 20, 2007
Subject: first set is definitely $$

i think set 2 had its moments, hit or miss. but set one had the flow. definitely a peak for 2.0.

Reviewer: CaptainRichman - - June 1, 2007
Subject: Something in the air there?

anyone notice that weird funky scent during the noise jam? then the mayhem of people running into each other the ENTIRE first set? This show was some kind of social science experiment, the scope of which remains unknown, probably for a long time. I can say that it is definately NOT the government testing some new kind of aerosol-based confusion serum on unwitting Bisco fans. The show rocked. rocked my face.

Reviewer: Makisupa McGee - - May 31, 2007
Subject: BEST 2.0 TO DATE?

This show completely converted me into a lover of bisco's brand of trance...I used to be so so on it, favoring thier more jammy styles (a la 99-01) but this has converted me to the trancier side of life. (well, i still love both styles but i think this show is what they always aim for but cant quite achieve on a regular basis)

Even if some disagree about this shows deserving of the "best of 2.0 title" i just cant see how you could give it less than 5 stars let alone only 2 or 3. Ive heard all those other real talked up sick shows and this one is still my favorite all-around....we should take a vote.

Subject: jimmy swift

anyone who loves good jam bands should deffinetly check out -Jimmy Swift Band Live at Port Hawksbury Civic Cente

Reviewer: mr.fancypants - - May 23, 2007
Subject: Very solid show, but there is some ignorance being displayed here

This show is pretty darned tight, but to say it is best 2.0 is just silly. Both '06 Asbury shows feature better setlists, playing and highlights.

Then there is also 12/30/06, 11/25/06 and of course NYE.

The first sets' featuring of morph, buddah and abyss is certainly Wu-Tang Bisco.

I don't have any complaints about this show, I just see all the kneejerk reactions and want to put it in perspective: Get it if you can, but if you are looking for something more indicative of Bisco greatness, take it back to '01.

Subject: Thanks again Jesse!

Thanks for another KILLER source bud, much appreciated! Keep up the good work Jesse!

Subject: 1st time posting

i think gangster was sweet but i think that buddah's jam was week but rock on bisco

Reviewer: burgerearl - - March 21, 2007
Subject: Superman Tease

Anyone else notice Barber teasing the superman fanfare when they go back into spacebird?

Reviewer: bmelon08 - - March 12, 2007
Subject: How can you shit on the Zappas??

Obviously it is unfortunate that the show cannot be released due to what the Zappa family wants and doesn't want done with their songs, but the truth is..they do do things and they have been out on tour recently playing Zappa plays Zappa. Their livlihood depends on playing those songs. So be thankful that the biscuits are able to play that song in the first place. Be thankful that Frank wrote such incredible music that some bands actually want to imitate it...

Reviewer: NedTizz - - March 7, 2007
Subject: Gangster

I really hope Gangster becomes a mainstay...funkiest shit ever...both Thursday and Saturday night!!!

Reviewer: Boop - - March 6, 2007
Subject: yes

favorite show by these gangstas in a while. VERY SYMBOLIC

Reviewer: maximusprime - - March 6, 2007
Subject: the Zappa family

the Zappa family should be GRATEFUL that a much-loved band is keeping Frank's music alive and exposing it to young listeners! it is not "in bad taste" whatsoever! unless of course they played nothing BUT pygmie twilyte for an entire show...
the Zappa's should maybe go out and get a job, like everybody else has to!
looks like i will never again purchase a NEW Zappa cd, i refuse to put money in their pockets!
oh yeah-- this show sounds absolutely fantastic!

Reviewer: progger - - March 3, 2007
Subject: 2007 looks promising

second set is what's important here... starts with a rediculous mulberry's and then starts this epic journey until the final notes of B&C

This was the best concert I've ever seen live.

Reviewer: kevinwasik - - February 26, 2007
Subject: Damn

I have to say that second set is absolutly top notch. Thats really unfortunate about Pygmy Twylyte if thats the case. That song will be a rarity if that is the case. Overall though what has really impressed me as of late is The Great Abyss. This song has just seemed to been played very smoothly the last couple times Ive heard it. But overall from top to bottom just a great show.

Reviewer: dfrancis - - February 25, 2007
Subject: good shit

great show...

highlights for me are the abyss > morph and DTTB>Gangster>DTTB

worth the download!

Reviewer: prof.illnastico - - February 25, 2007
Subject: 2/15 among other things.

for several reasons, it is highly unlikely 2/15 will ever be released. for one, tapers were not allowed in the venue that night. but the reason the sbd's may never see the light of day is that on top of playing four new songs that night, they also covered frank zappa's pygmy twylyte for the first time in years. due to requests from his family, it is in bad taste to sell that show.

as for these aud's, this run produced great sounding recordings. i'm very excited to listen to this particular show on good headphones, but the first set live was easily the best of the weekend, and maybe in my top 3 allen sets so far.
it got me very excited for what this band is bringing in the next year.
and i disagree that these recordings are better than the livedownload's sbds, but they are top notch in comparison to recent auds.

Reviewer: Bisco448 - - February 25, 2007
Subject: Thanks!

Great sound quality, great show! Get the thursday night perfomance up please so we can get the full Starland Ballroom run up!

Reviewer: digitalcopters - - February 24, 2007
Subject: What to say..

Unbelievble 2.0 biscuits. Start to finish. Best ever with allen. Get it now! Period.

Reviewer: Bestism - - February 24, 2007
Subject: Thanks for posting this show!

This show sounds fantastic -- crystal clear. Worth the download.

Does anyone know if 2/15 will be posted? Oddly, it's not available here (yet) or through Nugs.net.

Reviewer: Chefmatttenessejed - - February 24, 2007
Subject: best of three

this was definalty the best of three, barber was great on that guitar and they were so fluent throughout the whole show. Balls to the walls rage fest

Reviewer: bklynheadies - - February 24, 2007
