Subject: Don't you let that DEAL go down This is a good set for Donna starting at Deal and moaning low during Scarlet.

Overall a tight set with a peak at Deal & Cassidy

and another at Estimated & Scarlet.

They really stretch towards the end of Begonias



A nice home town show

where you get a Second Set Row Jimmy

as well as rockin' Promised.

Overall relaxed feel and laid back

Keith good in the mix at times

Big highlights already well documented

Between Garcia playing and Weir sweet vocals

what more could a head need. The Phil Zone!



They are just getting warmed up here

and those great May 77 shows

are just ahead

Really tight Other One!

The jam between TOO into Stella

that's what it's all about. - March 21, 2020Don't you let that DEAL go down

Subject: Woke up in San Mateo; WTF Had been seeing the Dead infrequently since 1973; Kezar with Waylon was #1. Was just 14 for that. By these shows I was a regular – hanging off the Winterland stage at Bob Fried Memorial; all but two shows at the Orpheum; Loved the shows with the Who; and the 3/18 show two nights prior was so much fun.



After a day partying out front I was ready for another beaut.



Camera pans, Minglewood starts, I take a big swig off a water jug being passed around, thirsty, mind you, and by the end of Ramble Rose I’m seeing everything in Sepia and black tones, a Mex Sennet movie starring me....ohhhhhhhhhh. What a night. Trying to decifer Ramble on Rose - Psychically surfing the universe’s waves- Long, unbelievable night. I’m nearly 60 and it still tops the charts of my weirdest nights ever!!! (Oh, and before the water jug I’d already taken a hit of windowpane.) hmfff. - March 26, 2016Woke up in San Mateo; WTF

Subject: an old ice skating rink I'm not a huge fan of 77 -- not by a long shot.



But this recording has a real nice vibe to it and the song selection and sequencing is darn near perfect. Keith is a key factor here.

Subject: -- Fantastic follow-up to the night before; in its own way is on par with that show.



Set 1 - all solid. The ending really makes the set - Estimated makes its third appearance of the run, and that Scarlet has got to be one of THE best stand-alones I can remember; certainly one of the best from '77, where pairing it without Fire was rare. Based on how unprepared lyrically Jerry was for the Fire debut on the 18th, it makes sense they'd wait. Check out the passion of the song's finale jam, right about when the patch comes in!



Set 2 - I can't remember the last time Phil delivered the Other One windup right on the heels of St. Stephen's final line, but oh, it works, kids! The jam that follows deconstructs a la Europe '72 and becomes a beautiful golden pond of notes between Jerry, Keith, and Bobby, naturally evolving into the pin-drop Stella. It's a lovely creation.



This run at the Winterland has some timeless music to it; while I think the 19th is the best of the bunch, this one's a close second. Bravo, boys. - March 20, 2013--

No one I've ever heard play can pull of this kind of segue into Stella like Jerry. Absolute beauty in guitar...



The guitar runs in Stella are pristine



Funny how '77 has so many moments like this. Jerry just clean and melodic and playing soul music - January 16, 2013Beautiful

That said, this entire stand at Winterland is top-notch. - July 26, 2010Cherry Picking

Jerry is on another level for his solo in Row Jimmy. It will bring tears to your eyes. Like, rapture. The rest of the show is 5* too - great versions of everyday songs like Ramble on Rose and Cassidy, and good sound quality throughout. - August 2, 2008The first review of this show in almost 3 years?

Subject: As good as Winterland gets These are very hot, timeless shows. Whole first set, second set, Scarlet (one of the last of the stand alone style and I think my favorite stand alone on this whole site) is exceptional. Check out the triumphant St Stephen>Other One a magical combo on an off night, however they were very on this night...
