Subject: Geez could they make a more pathetic setlist? not really sure how to rate this show... excellent execution, excellentish sound (ish because of the short splice in franklins) but is it really 5 stars? setlist is awesome. I'd give a 4.5 - March 8, 2020Geez could they make a more pathetic setlist?

Subject: Shout-out to Phil! I was lead here by an Amazon comment "check out Scarlet > Fire." This show flows very well, funky bass-playing, and yes, no frenzied, edge-of-your-seat cosmic moments--like 5:54 in "MHSUT" from Englishtown--just good music. I'll come back to this one often. - October 30, 2019Shout-out to Phil!

Subject: Losing My Virginity I knew who the Dead were from Top 40 radio. I knew one Deadhead in high school.

First Dead show was 3rd night at the pyramids. I was in Egypt for a year of college. Roomed with a dh from Rochester studying at Amherst. He brought a copy of this show, I had the stereo.

So, what was it like at the Pyramids? My roomy recorded using a boombox set on the stage!

Anyway, listened to to this tape many times, among others, in our flat. 40 years, many shows and many hours, weeks, if not months, a year?, of listening to Dead shows I still come back to this one.

Every show I have been to has featured something uniquely special in how one or more songs are played. An Unbroken Chain has no weakest link.

Being Grateful strengthens the chain. - January 4, 2019Losing My Virginity

Subject: One of my favorites Don't listen to anyone who says that this show is lazy lacking energy or doesn't have the groove. It's actually a joyous, rollicking show played over an easy, laid-back groove. The boys were having a blast with this one.



I've never heard another show quite like this one. It has its own unique feel. There aren't any of the way out there kind of jams, but the show seriously rocks in a laid-back sort of way. It's the Dead at their loose and yet tight best. Everything just hangs together so perfectly.



This show has my favorite versions of Franklin's and GDTRFB. I also love the Scarlet and the spacy "Slipknot", which is as jammed out as the band gets on this particular night. There isn't a song that isn't well-played. - May 25, 2014One of my favorites

Subject: What a Find! Another X-Factor Show! I can't believe that I never listened to or heard about this show before as a 30+ year DH. This show moves to the top of my bucket list - high energy, technically tight, and just an outright great listen. Going to hold on to this one for awhile! - March 8, 2014What a Find! Another X-Factor Show!

Subject: 4/23/77 What someone may say is playing lazy, I say is putting down a great mellow groove. I love this Help On the Way> Slipknot> Franklin..etc..

The sound quality is top notch and this has become one of my most listened to 77 shows. I guess it all depends on what type of Dead you like - October 29, 20114/23/77

Reviewer: majordomo - favorite favorite - July 17, 2010

Subject: phonin' it in stay away from this show. lazy is being generous. the meat of the show lacks any energy at all. garcia can't muster a real solo until mid-music never stopped. it does seem fairly clam free since the band appears to be actually asleep. help on the way etc is so flaccid that i could not endure it so i can't review the franklins tower. if you are surfing through 77 like lots of folks, let this wave go past. - July 17, 2010phonin' it in

Reviewer: Folkhippy - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - September 11, 2009

Subject: LOVE THIS SHOW! This show has a sweet, lazy, '76 sound with the percision and inspiration of a Spring '77 concert! It lacks the intensity of shows that would be played in May but this show has its own charm. A real laid back feel with great lazy versions of songs. The Scarlet/Fire here is one of the first, and I for sure is one of my favorite! Maybe even better that Cornell, and I am a huge Cornell fan! The best Scarlet/Fire of all time is 5/21/77.



Daddy D the keyboard you are hearing Keith play around with is a MOOG synthesizer. I personally love the trippy organ sounds! The best use of this keyboard is the Pembroke Pines Lazy Lightning>Supplication. The Help>Slip>Franklin's is perfect!



So this show is perfect for all you '76 fans! I think March and April had their own disctinct sound. You can tell a huge difference between the end of April and May 7,8,9. Don't miss out on this great show! - September 11, 2009LOVE THIS SHOW!

Reviewer: G. Ganter - favorite favorite favorite - August 20, 2008

Subject: High at Bertha Given the rave reviews on the other copy, I spent some time with this show and I'm puszzled. I find the band is still finding its groove. The Scarlet Fire is very articulate but the Scarlet has a rushed tempo--and the Fire doesn't go into very many universes (Jerry's Fire leads at New Haven, for example, on 5-5, blow this version away). That easy, effortless feel the starts say, around 4-30-77, hasn't really jelled yet. They are playing hard and sharply, but not half as deeply as Lakeland or Pembroke Pines or that killer first set at the Palladium 5-4-77. However, I do like the heavy rhythmic pile up after the GDR gets rolling. I like Keith's quirky organwork throughout, but he is obviously experimenting, rather than gettin jiggy with it. For me, Bertha was the highlight here. - August 20, 2008High at Bertha

Subject: Seamless!!! This is absolute killer show! Starts off with two slow, but great songs. Then gets a little slow, but from 'Row Jimmy' and on it is killer.



The Scarlet Fire and the Help-Slip-Franklin's are show right there.



I highly recommend this SBD to everyone out there.
