Subject: Just don't tell em that you know me... I remember seeing the boys here in the 80's and it was an interesting scene with Deadheads descending on the

Hartford business district. Ever once in awhile getting a knowing smile from somebody in a suit and tie.

If comparing it to the rest of this fabled Month of shows it is like 4 out 5 but that is with the seriously stiff competition of May 1977 still i prefer this to that stop and go Boston 77 show with all the hammering.

Garcia does extend in some interesting places like Sugaree and Tenn Jed. - May 28, 2016Just don't tell em that you know me...

Subject: Last of tour

The final show of the most-regarded tour is a hot, consistently above-average show with the requisite Spring '77 highlights - even if not one of the tours Top Ten shows! Not as constantly heated as, say, 5/21, 5/22 or 5/8 but still above-average with Garcia approaching differently than those dates.



1st Set : B

2nd Set : B

Overall = 4 Stars



Highlights:

Bertha - strong opener suggests strong show

Sugaree - you may think it's peaked, but wait. A Top 10 of all time

Minglewood Blues - so many good ones on this tour, but this is still a top 5

Samson & Delilah - Donna's great, everybody's tight

Tennessee Jed - Jer is having an angular night and this version is loopy, close to jumping the rails until it scoops the corner

Estimated Prophet - Donna on an on-night; edge of seat again

One More Saturday Night - Jer still approaching from angles



SOURCES: Ashley/Bertha of Betty Board & To Terrapin. But also check the Chappell matrix for N-R-G. - November 15, 2015Last of tour

Subject: Latvala was right! Dick was not impressed with this show, and it's nothing more than an average performance for May 1977. Other tnen what might be one of the all-time best versions of Sugaree, there is nothing distinguishing this show from any other from this period. Certainly there are numerous May '77 shows more worthy of official release. (92 pts) - March 1, 2009Latvala was right!

Subject: In the groove This is another one of them. I like the sounds that I've heard from "Bertha" very much. If you haven't already checked out this entire month, please do. This is a strong show, in my opinion. 4.5 Easy. - February 25, 2009In the groove

Subject: Soon to be released on a 3 disc set Excellent show but very typical of the 1977 spring pinnacle. IDK about worthy of release but this sbd is sure to come downs sooner than later. - February 24, 2009Soon to be released on a 3 disc set
