Subject: Truckin’ Returns The DP of this one is surely worth picking up, especially since some of the proceeds goes to the financial furthering of the band we all know and love. Nevertheless, just got done listening to the 3 night stand at Winterland 6/7-9/77 and though the playing here is amazing and great for many reasons it can’t touch those Winterland performances in terms of sound quality. I don’t usually judge these shows one against the other but I mean it’s like night and day. It’s probably due to the fact that this is a two-track source for the preFM sbd sound and also it’s an outdoor venue here. . I’m probably getting too persnickety and technical sorry I do love auds and matrices. This was the band’s first show since those Winterland performances and they were playing on a whole other elevated level. It’s nice to Truckin make it back into the rotation, though not the most powerful version here it’s great to hear them walk this horse out of the stable. As everyone and their grandmother nentioned this show is notable for the 1/2 Step, Estimated/Eyes, He’s Gone and NFA. Other than that it’s for nostalgia and history’s sake that brings me back to this solid show. This, along with MIT Fall 1970 we’re my first two tapes. Still, great show, it’s 1977 y’all, it’s up there with best. - March 6, 2019Truckin’ Returns

Subject: Geez....Eyes Here it is 2018, and I’ve been listening to this show since 1978, and the Eyes always amazes. Except for some very well placed Bob licks, this one has Jerry back and forth on rhythm/lead/rhythm/lead that showcases Jerry’s talent like very few others. And the final solo he progresses to and falls into....absolute sheer bliss. - October 11, 2018Geez....Eyes

Subject: Amazed by the quality of thise recording I'm new to the GD, so I'm just starting to listen. To be honest, it's a bit overwhelming how much history is in these recorded shows. Over the last six months I've picked a handful of show I kept going back, and only recently have I been exploring other shows as I see recommended. This show was recommended in the comments at youtube(v=30f_Eo9ynW8). After listening to all the recording, this one is by far the best. The sound is loud, clean, and I love I can hear the audience. Too many recordings leave that out, but to me the crowd adds to the vibe.



Great show. Great recording. - February 27, 2016Amazed by the quality of thise recording

Subject: After If I Had My Way: Before He's Gone My perception that day was that the show - their biggest crowd in years! - was going off the rails. Estimated/Eyes never really gets going (compare to others from that year) and If I Had My Way was downright lackluster. Lesh called a break - "We have to go get some salt pills" - and when they came back, He's Gone is a thing of beauty, and especially Lesh. One of those great great moments. After that, NFA and Truckin' are pretty straight backbeat rock -n-roll - nothing particularly adventurous, but crowd-pleasing. They were going to play the whole Terrapin Suite - Weir came out for the encore with a double necked guitar, but then said that Hart had been in an auto accident earlier and wasn't physically up for it. - August 24, 2015After If I Had My Way: Before He's Gone

Subject: Great sounding source! Mr. Usborne's matrix might be the best sounding source for this show. The Dick's Picks always sounded a little compressed to me, and the AUD is quite distant and harsh. This recording is much warmer and rounded. Great work! - July 16, 2015Great sounding source!

Subject: the coda So many memories from this show still shine through but none more strongly than the moment in half step when Bob Phil and Jerry huddled up for the amazing coda, guitar necks waving to the beat. I stood in amazement then, and I still get shivers when I hear it now. - February 11, 2015the coda

Subject: Great Matrix...greater NFA Jam! Thanx again Dusborne - you whip up a tasty Matrix.

Some truly great performances here with a stunningly jammed out NFA - extra sweet "Eleven" quote about 15 minutes in. Listened about 5 times this morning-will listen more!



Could be just me but 1977 shows seem to be pretty good. - February 9, 2015Great Matrix...greater NFA Jam!

Subject: A Big Night Once every few months, I start "hearing" the Dead again. It happens when the passion comes through - when it catches the arc of the musical journey and refracts through the crowd which catches the energy and pitches it right back, and the whole thing magically increases the band's abilities on a particular night, and we all touch the sky (apologies to Jimi!). I think the night simply lifted off during Mississippi Uptown - Jerry just blasted off, Keith showed intense focus and musicality - and then I think everyone - 150k people - was aboard for the next 2.5 hours. The quintessential experience. And unlike most times, I think you can actually hear it here. Great matrix - thanks! - September 30, 2014A Big Night
