Critical reception

On AllMusic, Timothy Monger said, "The archival series Garcia Live offers up its eighth volume, this time highlighting a November 28, 1991 Jerry Garcia Band show at Milwaukee's Bradley Center, recorded during what is considered by many to be one of the band's finest tours. Wisconsinites at this show endured a massive snowstorm in order to hear [the band] blow through a breezy and spirited set of songs like "Cats Under the Stars", "My Sisters and Brothers", and a rousing take on the Manhattans' R&B classic "Shining Star"."[5]

On Grateful Web, Dylan Muhlberg wrote: "1991 was a massive touring year for Garcia, who played one hundred and twelve shows total, including Grateful Dead, Garcia Band, and with David Grisman. Thirty-seven of those shows were with the Jerry Garcia Band, whose tight formation was intact since 1984.... By the time November 23rd rolled around, the Garcia Band had been on a hot tour... While much of Garcia Band's repertoire was covers, they were always heartfelt soulful arrangements. That night in Milwaukee, which was certainly Deadhead country, the band performed four originals penned by Robert Hunter."[6]
