B | sbd - SNACK rehersal, mostly Stronger Than Dirt with one BFA take and a sort of stony, instrumental - hiss is noticeable on this one. The main difference here I'd say is the keyboard work - more aggressive than Keith's normal style. | |

Kezar Stadium - San Francisco,

A- | fm - skanweed source - small d/o in BLA ~4:36. The Blues For Allah material was rarely played, and this date essentially features it only. In addition, Merl Saunders and Ned Lagin are on board and not just in the background. Their keyboard work adds a nice wash and very jazzy, "Weather Report-ish" or early 1970's jazz fusion feel in some places. Jerry's guitar tone and playing style was uniquely differt here, almost choreographed without truely free-form jams. The drum solo doesn't really fit into the middle of the Stonger than Dirt jam. Definitely worth a listen just to hear where the gd were for a very brief period of their career. | |

Most won't find this that interesting - to me it shows that at this time they were practicing for the BFA material, which explains its "tightness" contrasting with their less structured jams prior to the hiatus. | |

Lindley Meadows, Golden Gate Park - San Francisco,
CA |
A- | sbd - fink edits. Some crackle in a few spots (right channel mostly) that isn't too annoying. They seem pretty rusty for this show, though the lack of practice/familiarity means that the songs have a freshness or slightly unusual flourish here and there from the highly consistent "Just exactly perfect" band they will strive to be. Not much happens "jam wise" until Truckin', which though the vocals are flubbed, the jam on "The Eleven" theme is a must hear and odd because they stopped playing this song way back, so one wonders way it was the basis for the jam after the Truckin' verses were dealt with?? Drums didn't do much for me. But out of drums they do a rare live performance of King Solomon's Marbles. Some minor timing miscues (maybe this tune demanded too much concentration to keep everybody together so that's why they dropped it...). Nonetheless cool to see the Truckin' > 11 jam > drums > King Solomon's Marbles > NFA segue performed! The NFA has a somewhat rough start but eventually Jerry takes over and wails away nicely. | |

A- | sbd [2007-03-01]Upgrade (more complete) studio sessions. [2007-05-13]There are two reasons I listen to studio sessions - to catch the band in a relaxed setting chatting about stuff to get an idea of how they think about and craft the music. The other is to catch a jam or a tune that never made it into the public performances. This seeds lacks both - in its favor are a nice mix and tone and some tunes that were dusted off for the 76 tour. But you can hear those performed live. This then appeals to collectors. | |

B+ | aud - First show after Hiatus, and I would have expected something a bit more polished. Definitely laid back, a tad lackluster, and some flubs here n' there. Least energetic version of Help > Slip > Frank's I've heard, although the way Slip is played is so different from what you later hear that it is historically interesting. Debuts of Lazy > Supplication, Samson, Might as Well, Wheel. Show rating gets a boost for historical significance. Sound is FOB excect there are some channel drop outs that mar it a bit, despite my atempts to clean it up. [Note: I created a shn set w/ de-emphasis. This seemed to match the spectral sound other auds sourced around 6/2003 direct from the master cassettes, suggesting that Dolby might have been used on the originals but not decoded in the transfer to DAT.] This is a different source than the Pat Lee aud, less audience noise and sounds closer to the PA so maybe its from front of balcony. | |

B/A | Pat Lee aud - overall pretty good sound. It changes in a few places - don't know if he moved around, changed mic position, but basically this is a very listenable source. This show is laidback, somewhat typical for the 76 sound but perhaps a bit more so because this is the first public performance in a long time with lots of new material. Highlights are a good Scarlet with prominent thumpy Phil, and a very good Slipknot with some brief (few bars) teases of TOO and some Garcia lines that sound similar to some 72 Truckin jams from the E72 tour. Not a strong show from 76 - I'd place it near the middle. | |

B/A | sbd w/ aud patches - a fair chunk of this seed is the audience tape. when the sbd is available, its a nice mix with phil prominent. The show itself suffers from some miscues, a broken drum in PITB that brings the centerpiece of the set 2 jam to a halt and aborts what looks to have been a PITB > Dancin' segue. Cosmic Charlie I thought was the highpoint and a very well done version. Except for that, I didn't hear anything that makes this special; given the warts that are in the show I'd rank this in the lower quartile of 76. But do give Cosmic Charlie a spin. | |

A- | set 2 sbd w/ aud patch at start of St. Stephen. FWIW, I attended this show, row L if I remember. The breakout of St. Stephen was very exciting. Everyone had "LiVe/Dead" engrained in their synapses so the slower pace and with Donna singing was constantly compared in my head with the recorded version. The jam is very nice. As the come to the end, everyone was wondering of they would do "11". Maybe after being on hiatus they woul dbreak back some of these oldies, but the "answer" was Eyes. Interesting. Overall Set 2 lacks an overall cohesion that would develop later on. It consists of a few continuous sections, again with very attentive playing for the most part without the sustained jams of yore. Sound and mix is very good. Note that at the end, Jerry says: "See you 'all later". In my experience, he only says this on dates when he's had a good time. One other note: Th eMusic Hall had seats so there was a strong tendency for evryone to say seated. Maybe that is why their playing was more "listening" focused than "danceable". | |

A | sbd/aud matrix - I was very pleased with this matrix by Chris. Really captures the feeling of being there (which I was) by adding that hall ambiance and well placed audience whoops in the right places. Couple of comments - I remember watching Jerry who seemd to be concentrating very hard and looking at the other musicians - you can tell they had practiced some and wanted to seehow there new sound played at a real venue. Also, with the theater seats it was more a "listen and pay attention" show than a "dance and move about" show. I liked seeing them here and not at the Garden. The Stephen > Eyes > LIG works here (and I'm not a LIG fan). Definitely get this source if you want to hear a well played 76 show characteristic of that year. | |

This show has some good moments but it also has lots of pauses and features more than its fair share of slower tunes that impart a sit down concert feel to the evening. Usually shows that start with CR&S are good, and set 1 has a mixup of tunes like Scarlet, Cassidy, Crazy Fingers but somehow it doesn't click as much as it should. Set 2 starts strong with a SS > EOTW > LIG but then we get a BEW and in general Jerry picks slow tunes while Bobby selects rock tunes and as they alternate it gets confusing. Franklin's Tower as an encore is unusual and good. | |

A- | Hopkins aud & 4th show after hiatus. The "new" Dead - going after perfection. Great sound. Mission in the Rain. Very good show, well worth a few listens. Lots of spunk in their playin, good segues and singing. Good aud tape. [Note: I created a shn set w/ de-emphasis. This seemed to match the spectral sound other auds sourced around 6/2003 direct from the master cassettes, suggesting that Dolby might have been used on the originals but not decoded in the transfer to DAT.] | |

A- | sbd - brief gap/cut in Lightnin' and Might As Well. See other listener comments for flaws. Sound and mix are very good. Set 1 very professionally played, if somewhat boring. Didn't leave me wanting to leave it in the player for a repeat. I'd say the main flaw with this recording are the gaps/cuts noted by other listeners. Just enough of these to be a speed bump in my listening enjoyment. I'm also not a big "Let It Grow" fan. Set 2 is chopped up into 3 segments and doesn't have the cohesion of the gd at their best. | |

B+ | Jerry Moore recording with the best room ambiance of the 3 auds I have heard for this date (most likely the mics) but it also has some volume flucuations on some songs on the right channel that produces a noticeable 3 second periodic panning. This is a solid show from June 76. | |

A- | sbd GEMS [2007-05-12] This differs from the prior sources per info file as follows: "This source merits circulation because the sonic structure of these waves is markedly better than what circulates. each previously circulating soundboard source was "clipped", ...there are 3 patches on this source not applied on any other circulating source...there also exists a little bit more tuning between Row Jimmy and Big River, this source seems to run just a little bit closer to "correct" speed than any of the others. " This performance suffers from the show being a collection of independent tunes and hence lacks the extra special synergy that comes from interesting segues or song linkages. Set 2 has a H>S>F, a LIG and a PITB all with tuning breaks. The PITB has a spacey jam. The playing itself is very tight and professional, just lacking something that would keep it lodged in my cd player. Some people complain about Jerry being low in the mix, others say its fine. | |

Franklin's and Dancin provide a rhythmic flavor to set 2 with a "space jam" in PITB. A nice show to listen to when you aren't looking for something too exciting and energetic.

A+ | After taking some time off (and practicing) this show was one of the first when touring began. Their practicing really shows - very tightly played with the extended jamming cut back. Amazing sound quality. Candyman is a gem. Big River and Scarlet top notch versions. All songs played with lots of concentration and focus. ST. Stephen done in a slower, controlled pacing. Sugaree and Eyes throw off some sparks. [9/15/04 - This seed has channel switches which cause some pops - looks might be common to all versions that circulate.] | |

A- | bbd seed - Sound quality: The channel switching phenomena as far as I know exists on all seeds as of 10/10/05. It wasn't that big of a problem to me. Otherwise, this is one of the primo betty boards for sound quality and mix. 76 style very much in force - attentive playing without too much free form jams that escape from the basic tune structure. Set 2 is chopped into 2-3 sections so it doesn't have much overall flow. The Sugar Mag > Eyes transition is nice. Most people will like the sound quality, though the playing lacks the rock-n-roll edge they would acquire in a few years. Splices or something in Stella, Scarlet and one other tune in set 1. | |

A- | Wrenn sbd source (radio broadcast) - Sound mix is good. The Wheel is patched from an aud. Mission has a brief gap, Promised bit of fuzz near end, TJED (in set 2 before the jam section no less) has a brief fade out. Show wise this is a series of professionally (but not excitingly) played tunes, without a serious jam section; think of a studio recording. It was a radio broadcast and it is amusing to hear the announcer's comments. In the bottom half of 76 shows. Mission In The Rain gets hyped but the start of this tune and the transition early on never seemed to get any traction to my taste. | |

A | bbd - gorgeous sound on this show and no drop outs that plague the next night. Garcia seems sprightly (check out Big River and MAW). PITB that ends set 1 has a lot of jamming but I can't say that it affected me very much. This is another of the June 76 shows where the band seems to be concentrating so hard on playing everything just right and doing a good job of it - unfortunately, the magic that propels one to listen to the gd is missing in large part. On the other hand, gott agive some credit for experimenting with different styles and arrangements. | |

A- | betty board - mix and overal sound are of course great for a BBD BUT there are many drop outs scattered throughout and usually in annoying places. This disrupts the listening experience. This show is a prime example of "sit down and listen to them try to play professionally without any jam wankery". The songs are mechanical with some licks here and there. If you do not want to be energized, this would be a good show to listen to. Since I like some emotion with my gd, this didn't stay in the cd player. There are some atypical segues (LIG > MAW) and sandwiching Scarlet inside Sugar Mag. | |

I compared the location of several mic taps at the end of the first tune and they match, making it highly unlikley these are from different sources, in addition to comparing crowd noise etc. The hiss level is higher for this lineage with a cassette gen vs. the reels of the Warburton shns. Also, the channels are flipped here and the between song tuning is cut. Go with shnid 14449. | |

B+ | pre-fm sbd - the Compendium has a critical review of this night, saying that there isn't much emotion behind the playing. This of course was the 76 style. This is claimed to be a pre-fm, but it sounds like a significant chunk of the tween song gaps are edited and sometimes the next song cuts right in. Maybe they were editing the station commentary. Also, the mix and volume seem to very a bit, check out LLR for example where there is a brief volume drop. The set 1 closing PITB is a flashback to 72 for me where the band would stretch out this placed song to wet your appetite for set 2. PITB worth checking out. High Time had good harmonies and some tasty Garcia lines that demonstrate's his command of tone. The LIG > Dancin' segue is good and Dancin' was nicely jammed. Cosmic Charlie is brutely cut off with a zap of diginoise. Summary: [10/3/2005] Sound quality not on par with other "pre-fm's" with some mastering issues, specifically start of some songs almost cut off in attempt to remove banter I imagine. There are some good songs but the flow to this show is plodding most of the time so I'd rank this bottom quartile of 76. | |

A- | Jerry Moore aud -> nice sound, better than the prior seeds for this date. No major flaws except some sections of music were monoized to cover some mic dropouts. This show lacks any noteable moments and the jam section in set 2 is chopped up with segue flubs. To my ears, one of the weaker June 76 shows. However, this is the best recording available for this show if you want to hear it. | |

B/A | Composite remaster of FM and sbd sources. - [10/3/2005] Set 1 has what sounds like a fair bit of compression and is tough to listen to, given the general high quality bbd's that are around for other dates. Didn't hear anything that would make me want to search around for an improvement unless it came my way. Set 2 has better sound, but the only song that stood out was Dancin' which is wrth hearing because Jerry really sounds energetic here. Overall - the poor sound quality of set 1 and the lack of memorable playing puts this low on my 76 list. | |

A- | Aud - Slightly below average show. Not everyone seems to agree on some seques. Playin > St Stephen > Wheel best part of show. Updated review [11/5/2004]. set 1 has all teh tunes played in what is becoming the "just exactl perfect" style. Tight, attention on tone and not much jamming wankery. Set 2 has 3 sections of music. It starts with the segue section PITB > SS > Wheel >PITB. The PITB evolves into a minor atonal, harse sounding jam which isn't one of your "foot tapping" versions. Intellectual music. The transition to SS is of brief duration but the crowd likes it because it is a phsyically engaging contrast to the previous mental music. The Wheel has nice guitar tone and sound with the segue back into PITB interesting as each member of the group does the transition at slightly different times without it coming across as confusion. The 2nd part of set 2 is Samson, Crazy > Stella which are played in a set 1 style with some jamming but none notable. Then the show ends with 3 rockers - A&R > OMSN and US Blues. Phil says "that' it" and sounds pleased with the performance. Overall - they put some effort into this show but the exceptional magic didn't happen to make this worthy to actively seek out. The recording is very good for the time and gives an accurate accounting of what happened. | |

A- | unknown aud source - Sound quality -> very good aud in a great theater. No complaints here. Plus set 2 is divided by the band into two sections with a full stop in between so the tape flip doesn't get in the way of the great music! This is on my "you should hear this once" list. This show has a not so typical mix of songs and all are played very well in 76 style (which means more subtle sneak up on you jazzy type jamming than in your face rock n' roll). Set 1 doesn't have much segue action but its a good mix of song styles all played well. Got me in the groove. Set 2 has a great version of Let It Grow (which is not one of my favorite songs) but they play it very well here. The segue combo of Grow > Rat > Samson is also unusual and well executed. The set ends with a H>S>F>Sugar, US Blues that has a jazzy jammed out Slipknot and the SUgar, Blues leaves the crowd in an energetic state. NO encore. Great show, great aud. Give it a listen. | |

A/B | this source has some cassette gens but doesn't suffer from the many "tape decay" drop outs of the Weiner source. This show is WAY COOL!. The playing on this night has so many subtle and not so subtle to standard play that I can't list them here. set 2 is so engaging. Eyes has a Phil bass/drum combo that's very tasty and melodic that segues into Happiness is Drumming, the only time it was ever played. It is a great tune. Wharf Rat has great feedback. The whole show is great and so unusual. You can't go wrong with it. | |

A- | Shure 545 aud recording via Bob Wagner. This is the best sounding recording for this date and is a different source than my or Noah Weiner's previous seeds. You should get this show to listen to the Eyes > Phil Bass Jam > Happiness is Drumming start of set 2. [9/19/2005] I listened to this one again. The Scarlet from set 1 stood out as having some nice Garcia embellishments, as did the following Lazy > Supp. Set 2 is just one long continuous great set of music. Definitely on my "you should hear this once" list. Can't say enough. Its also a night where Jerry leaves by saying "See you'all later". This sparsely used comment by Jerry is a signal to me of when he thought it was a good set/show. | |

B+ | first tracks and last track of soundcheck don't match database md5's - The soundcheck is interesting - Dancin' seems played with more fun than in a typical show, a bit funkier. I also think on one of the Stella's I heard Keith asking Jerry what key something was in - marking the only time I ever heard Keith say anything. Don't know why the practiced Stella so many times, but there was some commentary back and forth so maybe they hadn't quite had it settled down. Set 1 does sound poor - muddy, somewhat lacking in the highs so it has that compressed, underwater sound. Didn't hear anything that made me regret the poor sound quality (one song patched from the aud sounds MUCH better). I thought there was an interesting little themed jam in Wharf Rat that was good, though the momentum was dropped at that point until a brief drums kicked in. The HSF>Dancin' was ok but didn't stand out. Show quality bimodel - poor for set 1, better for set 2. Show performance middle of the road for 76 at best. Just not enough standouts to distinguish it. | |

B+ | sbd - qulaity mix are ok but somewhat variable. The Wheel was louder on the disks I received so it seems to be a tad overload distortion. The show is not the best of this run. Set 1 is somewhat subdued, esp the rather cerebral PITB. Set 2 highlight was TOO (at least on 10/1/2005 when I listened to this again). Most of Eyes comes from the aud source (which is good), so there is some f;low disruption as the source switches. Overall, this is a solid show with some twists typical for 76 but a step below some of the stronger nights of this run. Give the sound rating a solid B+ (the sbd isn't as good as others and isn't that complete) and the show a B/A rating to indicate some highs but not consistenty strong. | |

A- | sbd - set 1 has nothing noteworthy, but set 2 would be on my "must hear once list". It also happens that Donna was absent for set 2 fwiw. This sequence is very good - Comes A Time > Jam > The Other One Jam > Drums > The Other One > Space > Eyes Of The World > Jam > The Other One > Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad. The CAT is exceptional, highlighting the clutter free style of playing the gd do well. TOO and associated jams are also relatively open using silence well, though it covers a lot of territory and styles. Set 2 was fairly short so the double encore features an extended "Not Fade Away" that is also played in this rather sparse as opposed to a balls out rocker. Check out the jam sequence of set 2. Mix and sound are good. | |

A- | sbd - agree with the info file comments about the amplifier hum, though it isn't too bad. Mix and sound otherwise are very good. This show gets strong rating in the TC. Set 1 is well played but boring except for the mid-set standalone Scarlet. Set 2 continues the set 1 trend with 3 standalone and not very interesting renditions before starting a killer segue sequence of Lightnin' > Suppl > LIG > Rat > TOO > Stephen > NFA > Stephen > Wheel > TOO > Stella. The first part struck me as the best and I'm not a fan of LIG. Given the number of segues, the jamming from St. Stephen on in the individual tunes isn't competitive with other dates. Also, though it looks super on paper, I wasn't as impressed as my expectations given what I had read, mainly because it didn't flow that smoothly. Probably need to give this another listen. That being said, this is on the short list of "must hear once" 76 shows because the set 2 song selection is atypical. | |

B/A | K Gatto's aud - [9/19/2005] outdoor venue has little reverb so this has a slightly aniseptic tone to it. Also, the crowd is noisy and occasionally intrusive. Overall I'd give this my solid B aud rating. There are some skips/gaps (d1t2 ~8:30, TJED, volume drop in PITB reprise d3t5~6:00). Overall, there show left me unscathed, which is NOT a good thing. Just didn't do anything. The sound/crowd had something to do with it. Lots of yackity yak during TLEO, gave the idea that the gd were background music at a party. The jam section had an undistinguisehd PITB with a Phil /drum solo/duet. Though I am a huge Phil fan, his solos just don't seem to go anywhere or fit for lack of a better phrase. This wasn't any different. Probably the emotional highlight was the Arnd/Arnd and US Blues/Sugar Mag encore. This performance would be near the bottom of 76 for me. Maybe if I heard a better recording I could give a higher rating. Double punch knockout - lackluster show and a so-so audience tape. | |

B+ | Scott Jones aud - sound derated a tad because its an outdoor show and the crowd is a bit obnoxious at times. Standalone Scarlet at end of set 1 good, and set 2 has a nice string of tunes to start off. TOO gets high ratings in reviews but it didn't strike me as that exceptional. Maybe it sounds better on the sbd. | |

B | sbd patched via cotsman - the aud splices are done without any cross fades and come across suddenly like someone grabbed the channel changer when you are watching tv. The board in set 1 also sounded hissier than normal. The songs in set 1 up to scarlet drag to me, the band really plods along. Scarlet is ok but it didn't make me want to listen to it again. Set 2 has a great setlist but I don't like any of these versions. The mix is very Phil/Bobby heavy and light on Garcia, so it has the metronome quality which is best heard on Dancin' where it seemed they were stuck in a loop and didn't know how to get out. So, both the aud and sbd didn't give me a good impression of this show. One of the least interesting of 76 IMO. Add in the poor mix and chopped up sbd and I wouldn't grab for this before hearing the better shows of 76. | |

The NFA thru TOO is draggy and slow - the 76 style that many people dislike. Overall listenable but spotty in performance. I think you can skip it unless your compulsive.

B | sbd - The TC review was right on for this one. First off, sound quality will perturb many - hissy with a muddy, sounds like listening through a telephone recording, though the mix is good. Really missing on the high end. Also some munged sections (Samson). Keith seems to be trying but set 1 plods along except for the Crazy Fingers which is long and jammed. set 2 looks promising and teh Slip/Franklin's is good. Eyes > Samson up next is another couplet that is average. The Dancin' > Rat > TOO > Dew gets better as it goes along, with the Dew being the show highlight and first since the hiatus. TOO has some ok spacey jamming but is rather short, Rat is solid, Dancin' a bit repetitive. Given the poor quality of the sound and the lackluster performance delegates this to the bottom bucket of 76. You might want to listen to the Dew (though its an aud). | |

A- | aud - this is a very nice sounding aud that captures the hall resonance without being far back. Set 1 has well played songs, with the highlight being a 72 style PITB at the end of set 1 with Supplication sandwiched inside. The PITB > Supp transition is smoother than the Supp > PITB one but that is a good combination especially when the transitions are strung out a bit and not abrupt. Set 2 starts with a good MAW and Samson. The playing by everyone seems a quantum leap better than the previous night, The TC is correct in the blazing fast speed that Slipknot segues into Franklin's to which they then apply the brakes. Also the jamming in Slipknot! has almost a drums/percussion interlude that is a nice mixup. Interesting 76 style. The TC reviewer astutley comments that the Stella is a battleground between Keith and Phil wanting to play it fast and Jerry lagging, Summary - great aud sound and the two sections [PITB and Help thru TMNSP] are on a must hear once list. Keith is high in the mix and playing very well, so if your a Keith fan, check this out! | |

A/B | sbd - This is now a DP's, but this was the sbd that was circ'ing prior to the official release. The sound on this is good with a nice mix. But I thought this show was boring. Strange that it was released and not some of the more shows I thought were way better. See my other reviews for them. Most of the songs are played professionally enough. None of them stood out as special. Set 2 jam didn't happen until the end. I thought the transition from the Jam > Stephen or Stephen > Sugar Mag was disjointed. I'd rank this near the bottom of 76 shows as regards to the music played. Maybe if you want a sort of relaxing listen you might like this. Agree with the TC that Sugaree is not a good set 1 closer to leave people pumped for set 2. | |

A- | Very good Audience recording, nice hall ambiance w/o sounding far away. The bulk of this show are standard 76 renditions. The main jam from set 2 is worth hearing, especailly the way that Slipknot has a tasty TOO > Rat sandwiched inside. This wasn't done very often which is unfortunate. On this version you can hear that it does provide a smooth vehicle for exploration that would have added more opportunities for variation. So put this set 2 jam on your "should hear once list". | |

A/B | patched sbd - this show has a strong set 2 with 2 unusual jams, one that segues into a nice rendition of CAT, a solid Eyes that morphs into another unique jam. The PITB is only about 10 minutes but it doesn't waste any notes either. This show was released as a Dicks Pick - this was a sbd copy that was circulating and has some of the usual blemishes (most likely a cassette gen or 2 for example). The FOB that is available for this date gives this sbd a run for the money so don't avoid it just because this sbd is available. | |

B/A | FOB aud - Backus seed. Sound quality - at my first listen it sounds that there are mutiple audience sources used or multiple generations from the same source. At times the sound is as good as you hear from this era (A- rating) but on some songs it degrades to a solid B. Some of the between song banter is cut and missing the twiddling into the tunes so they start abruptly in places. Performance - I listened to this one when I was tired and laying on the couch. It fit my mood - not rousing but definitely tight playing which enabled me to "get into it". The show comes across much better on the aud than the sbd to my ears. Set 1 has good versions of Crazy Fingers and Peggy-O. Set 2 has no super moments except for the Dew encore, not played much in 76 and a bit rarer in the encore slot. If you like auds and want to have a quiet listen, goive this a twirl. | |

B/A | best combined sbd as of ~9/22/2005. Mix at start is off and there are many instances of channels drops and other minor stuff, though it improves as the show goes on. Show wise I found this to be uninteresting to me, except for the Dew encore which is worth a listen. The rest of the show just dragged to me.

A | Jerry Moore aud via Weiner - I'm guessing that the previous circulating version for this date that I seeded is most likely this Moore recording with the "akg mics" urban legend attached. The point is its a very good, if not excellent audience tape sound wise. The first set is a series of standalone tunes with no segues. There is some nice playing here but with the tuning gaps between songs, its hard to get excited and say that I want to leave this in the cd player on infinite loop mode. The Scarlet is the best song in set 1. Set 2's highlight was the jammed out Slipknot! that is slow and spacey. The remaining tunes starting with Dancin' are fun for a listen. Not the best 76 show, but it is a great Moore recording. Sacrilege that it is, if the between song tuning was edited out in set 1 it would be considered almost "studio" quality in performance, somewhat lacking in emotion. | |

A- | Moore aud [2007-05-12] This source appeared at Losslesslegs with this lineage. aud c.m.>sbm1>dat>cdr>eac>cd wave>flac Transfer by Rob Berger '99, tracking by John Tallmadge. In the torrent Berger said Jerry liked this transfer better, but its hard to understand how it could be different or better than the Moore project that worked with the master cassettes. It seemed that Berger was systematically seeding every version he had without being able to specifically say why the existing versions are inferior. A review from the Archive "The 1st set of this show is well played, with Scarlet standing out and spreading its wings a little more than most versions. However, it's the 2nd set that shines here. H>S>F has always been a potent combination and this version packs a punch. It seems that the 76 versions were a little spacier (6/3,6/10,6/14,8/4, etc) while the 77's were tighter and more centered on the Franklin's groove. (2/26,4/23,5/9,6/9 etc.) Whichever type you prefer this one will leave a smile on your face. Its one of the most underrated, under appreciated H>S>F the Dead ever played. I would assume that the reason for this is because this show seems to be available only as an audience tape. However, Jerry Moore did an incredible job, as usual, with the equipment available to him at the time. The Dancin that snakes its way through the middle of the set is also hot and shows off the bands ability to go in and out of a song with ease. The end of the show (GDTRFB, Sat Nite, USBlues)is over-the-top rock and roll and sent everyone home on an up note." So if you like 76, this date all the characteristics of that year. | |

B/A | Jerry Moore aud via Noah Weiner - Except for the 1st two songs from the existing (poor) aud, this is another very good Jerry Moore recording. The main reason for getting this source is that it has TOO intact. The show itself I'd classify as laid back and average for 76. Most of the show are standalone songs, performed reasonably well but nothing stands out as noteworthy of special mention. The set 2 jam based around TOO is notiecably bland as well. No encore was performed this night. Maybe they were tired. | |

Set 2 starts with a few warm-up tunes (Smson, IMHBTR). The PITB > Wheel > Jam (Take 5 theme) > CAT > Dancin' > NFA > Dancin' > Round is very good, especially the Jam into CAT.

B/A | aud - set 1 is boomy on the bass. Nothing much happens until the final Scarlet, TMNS the former is good and the latter revs up the energy by not dispensing with the tune but repeating the chorus. Set 2 is from a different aud source which is better, more treble. Samson is to the point, short but energetic. IMHBTR sets up the ensuing transcendent PITB. At ~14 to the drums, this version has a light airy feeling with smooth shifts throughout. Definitely worth hearing once. Then the fun starts. After listening to 10/1,2/76, my expectations were low for this show, but for whatever reason, they pull out a jam/segue fest that made me want to leave this set in the cd player a while to follow the ins-outs and ups-downs. Basically, this set is one of the highlights of 76 in my book. Check out the little jams betwen the main song markers, stick in a Comes A Time and a China Cat tease almost at the end and you have the ingredients for a great listen. So this would be on my "must hear 76" list. | |

The jam in set 2 is a rather brief Dancin' > Rat > Dancin' > Round which although listenable didn't send me around the bend.

A- | sbd w/ aud portion last few songs. sbd sound and mix are very good. Set 1 doesn't do much until Lazy/Supp where Lesh and Garcia have some good interplay. Lazy has a skip and a bit of Sugaree is garbled. Set 1 is professionally played, but lacking in emotion. Set 2 has a shoprt Eyes which segues into TMNP. A few more standalone tunes are played, so set 2 starts as a continuation of set 1. The jam portion starts with a blah He's Gone , a generic drums. Hope for some mojo springs when TOO comes out of drums but this is an average version. The best part of the show is the final CAT > Franklin's > Sugar. CAT seems to match the band's lackluster emotion but emphasis on playing and tone. The Franklin's segue shifts gears nicely and Sugar mag completes this no encore show on a high note. I'd bin this in the bottom half of 76 shows, though it is all well played. | |

A- | patched sbd via Charlie Miller [2007-05-12]per info file set 2 is seamless, Patch source recorded by Rob Bertrando, I cleaned up numerous flaws and patched the tape flips. Highlight to me was the The Other One -> Comes A Time -> Franklin's Tower in set 2. The CAT and Franklin's were both unexpected. The sbd was missing some tunes and the numerous patches did create some disruptions in the listening experience but this would be the preferred sbd source as of this time.

A/B | prefmr warner w/ fixed pops by Dave Winters - there are instances of minor noise (for lack of a better word) or clicking but not too distracting. Otherwise, the mix is clear and you can hear all of the instruments cleanly. Perhaps a bit low on the bass. The first set has well played but not exceptional versions, with the exception of PITB which is somewhat atypical, in a subtle sort of way. Set 2 has a very good Sugar > Eyes. The SugarMag especially surprised me with how good it was, considering all the times I've heard this tune. Eyes starts off very upbeat with Phil adding lots of strong leads. The Slipknot! has an uncharacteristic jam which wonders far from the usual Slipknot! theme, seems more spacey and reminiscent of some PITB jams. Remainder of set 2 continues the with all songs being well played but a little short of overall momentum with the absence of segues (some hard stops mid way). Overall, this is a strong 76 show with enough above average, slightly different versions that it should be on your "must hear once" 76 list. | |

A- | sbd [2007-01-22] Excellent sound and mix. This is the 1st show since the NYE run and the band comes across as out of practice somewhat. They don't seem to have an idea of hwo they want the overall show to flow on this date, playing each song as it comes. Debut of Terrapin and its the show opener as well as Estimated. The PITB > Wheel > PITB that closes set 1 is a 76 signature. This one though isn't a strong one. Set 2 is disjointed in that it has a H>S>F and an Eyes > Dancin > A&A st the two "jam segments". Again it shows that the band is feeling its way around after their NYE break. Other than the novelty of the debuts, one listen probably enough. | |

A- | sbd [2007-01-22] This is an excellent performance with great sound and mix and the aud used to splice is very good for this era - hence this should be on the must hear once list. FOTM debuts here and it was paired with Scarlet to end set 1. The 1st of many S>F's! The pacing is a bit slower than what it will evolve into. Its worth hearing this 1st version to see how the pairing evolve dover time. The NFa is a strong version as noted by the TC review. The playing this night seems relaxed and not frenetic at all though it does communicate to this listener a lot of energy by not playing in a full steam ahead style. Jerry says "See ya all later" at the end which usually is the mark of a good show. | |

The between song tuning has been cut so the show is condensed to two disks. Good candidate for a matrix. Performance is technically competent with tight playing. The PITB from set 1 is probably the most interesting, the rest being typical but not outstanding renditions for this era. No encore this date. | |

It is a transition from 76 to 77. It retains a H>S>F (played less and less) a strong S>F to end set 1 and a Sugaree to start set 1. Etsimated stands by itself this night, and a A&A>NFA>GDTRFB to end set 2. Personally, I don't find myself wanting to dwell on this performance.

Capitol Theater - Passaic,

B | sbd symons [2007-06-02]Sound quality a b - bass is muffled. Here's an accurate review of this performance from the LMA. "With so many excellent shows available in high quality from this tour, such a "fair" sounding sbd would have to boast unmissable versions of songs to recommend a download. Well, there is one stretch in the second set worth pursuing, otherwise, it's a fair recording of a typical '77 show. It starts off with high energy. A rowdy Minglewood and tight Deal show some promise. TLEO, LLR and Peggy-O are energy vacuums and the latter is brutally cut toward the end. Estimated is a bit of a yawner stand-alone version. BEW is a smiley, above average version, but hints at some beefy jams to come. Music is short but hot, Scarlet is fair, but Fire is a keeper. The Terrapin is ok, but gets clipped at the end. If there is anything worth saving here, it's the Playing>Drums>Wharf Rat>Playing stretch. The Playing is a great '77 version, but the Wharf Rat stands out to me as being one of the best of this era. The Playing reprise is a typical high energy closer to the gorgeous mixolydian jam of Wharf Rat." I concur - the PITB- Wharf Rat - PITB segment is worth a listen. | |

Set 2 has a solid set list with S>F, Samson and Terrapin > PITB > Drums > Wharf Rat > PITB, but the delivery of these songs is average. PITB has an odd bit of feedback that struck me as one of the few times when this song had a section that didn't seem to fit (usually the worst offense is to be have a little too much wankery). | |

A- | Jerry Moore recording Sony ECM-33P/Sony TC-158 [2007-06-11]Phil's bass is clearly picked up on this recording . Setlist is more "76" style. Show starts with a Help>Slip>Frank. Remainder of the set are the standalone songs in rotation ending the set with TMNS. Set II continues the high energy with Samson, and a strong Sugaree which will see some great versions on this tour. El Paso segues out of Sugaree is a bit unusual, followed by BEW and Estimated. Scarlet -> GDTRFB-> Drums-> The Wheel-> Wharf Rat-> Around complete the jam section. Note the WHeeel > Wharf Rat double Jerry pairing. UJB encore. Performance doesn't really have anything to set it apart so I rank it in the middle of 77.

B | This is a very fun audience tape - it has some sonic blemishes but is worth hearing for sure. Don't let the sound rating put you off. The energy from the live show, the audience comments left me with a more enjoyable listening experience than the infamous Cornell show! A great time capsule from the Dead in '77. The NFA has some sustained nasty Garia fuzz tone for well over 5 minutes. Weir adds some feedback as a percussive beat near the end of this jam. Segues are very smooth. My only downgrade would be that the show has only the one lengthy segue section so the pacing is a bit choppy as they figure out what to do. This version has some cuts and channel drop outs.

I think 5/1 and 5/3 are stronger performances but this is still a good one with a Terrapin encore. [2006-06-03] TMNSP, Bertha, Half Step are string points of set1, though there are lots of delays for equipment issues etc that make the set drag a tad. S>F>GL to open set 2 is good but not worthy of hall-of-fame status. FOTD is above average, a standard 77 Estimated follows. The SS>NFA(Garcia shreds for a long time near the transition into Stella) and is the highlight of this show. | |

B+ | Moore aud - very good show, especially the PITB sandwich w/ CAT in set 2. When ever Jerry says "C U Later" after the show it alway seems to be a good one. [2007-06-03]Sonically, this one sounds a bit muddier on the bass than other aud tapes so I'm downgrading it from a A- to a B+. Set 1 didn't come across with any special mentions and there is a fair bit of in between song tuning etc. Set 2 starts with a Dancin > BEW which is a rare pairing but other than that again no special mention. The PITB > TOO > CAT > PITB is a nice combo and enjoyable but on this listening I didn't get caught up into the music. Given the average set 1 I'm dropping my rating of the performance from A- to B+. | |

A- | set 2 sbd [2007-04-06] Nice mix and sound here. Set starts with a lumbering Dancin' but then directly transitions into BEW which is unusal, the latter appearing almost always in a standalone position. After some equipment issues we have a full band Beer Barrel Polka followed by a PITB -> Drums-> TOO -> CAT -> PITB. The PITB is short and comfortably nice, the drums fills time and provides the groundwork for the intro to a typical TOO, CAT is a nice ballad, used a lot on this tour and then it wraps up in the PITB reprise. You'd probably be satisfied with a single listen. | |

A- | Jerry Moore Sony ECM - this may be my favorite night of this run, with a very strong set 2 (Sugaree, Samson and FOTD are all very good with FOTD providing a nice pace change), then the Eyes > Rat > NFA is captivating throughout. [2007-06-17]On this relisten, sound quality a bit boomy, but otherwise very listenable. The review in the TC is very donwn on this show, but it still stands out as one of the best of this run and above average for 77. Specific highlights - set 1 has a standalone SOF and Good Lovin, rare to appear in set 1. Peggy-O was engaging. Set 2 is all solid with a MAW, Samson, Estiamted, FOTD to start off. EOTW > Space is excellent with Jerry doing an extended solo noodle that's a must hear, before a short drums into a NFA in the 77 "shred" style for lack of a better description. | |

A- | sbd [2007-07-10]I just listened to set 2 because set 1 has been upgraded. This is a very string performance with no weak tunes - Estimated , Scarlet -> Fire , Terrapin -> Playin' -> Comes A Time-> Playin', though it is a bit short. It does have a CAT in the ballad spot which is always a favorite of mine. | |

A- | sony ecm - Moore [2007-06-17] From a LMA patron "This is a show with a great, flowing energy. Every time I listen to the songs I like them more. Dig the beautiful tenderness in Mississippi Half Step, Cassidy, Must Have Been the Roses, and Brown-Eyed Women especially. An 18+ minute Dancin' with really creative improv adds to the sublime flow of this show. This recording in particular adds a deep, warm sound with real depth. At worst, the audience is a little loud. But at best, you simply ARE THERE --time loses meaning, and the extremely 3-D sound becomes not merely sound but just timeless, lovely music. All the instruments and voices are clear, and all their tones blend together in what I feel is a very sweet mix. 5 stars. The first set alone will blow you away. Just be sure to treat this recording to some good speakers or headphones. ; )" Do I hear Wier noodling the Lost Sailor theme before Estimated at the start of set 2? And check out Phil in Scarlet during the transition jam to Fire! This and the previous night are very good shows. Sound here seems a little less boomy. Hardly any audience noise. Set 2 has no excellent song selection Estiamted, S>F, Terrapin>PITB > CAT >PITB. "A Dream Set that is basically one long jam, starting with Estimated and then blasts off with a Scarlet>Fire>Terrapin>Playin sequence that
features some of the most amazing improvising you'll hear in 1977. They finally come down to earth with a gorgeous and rare Comes a Time (only 5 times in 1977). You haven't really heard May 77 until you've heard this show! ....The scarlet fire is top five all time. The boys swirl and fly around scarlet like sparks from the fire coming up. Fire is an exaustive exploration of all the tonal colors availible. and the transition is seamless. The rest of the set is strong but suffers a tiny bit in comparison. Really, really tight sow on a tour known for tightness. How exactly the achieved this well rehearsed inprovasation is something os a mystery, but that's what kept us coming back for more. Oh and the China Cat lick. I can actually hear Bob doin' the "heh huh" laugh in his head as he plays that. Just plain excellent." | |

A- | Eaton BBD via Owen Brothers [2007-02-26] Excellent sound and mix (with some reverb on the vocals which can be heard being turne doff at different times). Excellent May 77 show. Set I highlights are the MHS > Big River and TMNSP to close. Set II starts off with a nice Terrapin -> Samson a standalone Estimated, then a tightly played Eyes -> Drums-> Wheel-> Rat-> A&A. Lots of banter focused on the equipment problems. This show probably deserves to be on the "77 must hear once " list. | |

A | Sounds like a live studio recording. Not high energy. Controlled playing. Interesting nonetheless. The May '77 shows all carry high expectations - I would say that the sound quality of this show results in the actual music being a tad bit overrated. I personally like more emotional playing with a few mistakes. Update 5/14/04- the estimated > too > nfa > cat is excellent and well worth the listen. d3t4 1:36-1:39 NFA partial loss, d3t7 volume shift 8:17 with right channel drop | |

A- | BBD w/ aud patch via Connor [2007-06-03]Excellent sound and good patching. This show is very highly rated in general, but the consensus is behind a most superb version of CAT. Here's an upbeat review from the LMA "yeah, it's confirmed, this show is ridiculously good from start to finish..the sound quality is definitely awesome too..". Starts with a HSF, nicely jammed Cassidy, Peggy-O is a strong version, TMS is an eregetic set closing. Teh Bertha > GLovin, SOF I'd classify as typical. Likewise there is a blip to the set flow on the drums section and the TOO intro is not of the tension/release variety, but CAT>Sugar Mag is a fine set closer. | |

A/B | sbd - preferred as of March 2007 [2007-03-17]vocals have noticeable reverb which imjparts a "playing inside of an empty airplane hangar" quality to the recording. The review in the TC is spot on - here are a few quotes "starts off with a bushel of usual tunes executed almost perfectly..whoel offers a textbook glimpse at the machine like execution of a '77 first set....One of the generalizations easily made about '77 S>F is that those which stood on their own were usually longer, spacier, and more thoughtful than those that took the first train into "Good lovin'..beswt part of the show occurs in UJB..the real jiuce is when the close of the somg spirals into a solo guitar piece which at 7 minutes is quite developed." | |

this version represents a fresh transcription of the 3 disc set already in circulation. Re-Mastering by Scott Clugston 11/4/01. THIS SOURCE HAS NUMEROUS SPEED FLUCTUATIONS and some diginoise that most people would classify as "for historical interest only", i.e. its unlikely you'll leave this in the cd player. There are some good moments and when the speed is stable the sound is clear and you get the sense its another solid May 77 show, but the recording anomalies get in the way -> so check out all the better sound quality seeds before grabbing this one. [2007-06-04]Boy was I incorrect about the sonic quality of this source in my 1st comment. On re-listening this is an A- source - very clear. There are noticeable speed fluctuations in NFA, CAT and PITB reprise that are unfortunate. Performance wise excellent Half Step > Dancin to end st 1. On the must hear list. The PITB > NFA > CAT> PITB segement chock full of goodness, especially the NFA. Too bad a sbd doesn't circ so the variable pitch could be fixed. | |

Show starts with an energetic Bertha > GL combo, has a nice Row Jimmy but Minglewood and TJed detract. Jack-A-Roe is tight followed by a barrel ahead Passenger debut. Set 1 ends with a long Dancin. Set 2 has 1st Estimated > Eyes pairing and 1st appearance of Iko, though its used as a NFA substitue after St Stephen before segueing immediately into NFA. This segment is focused on the repetitive riff that characterizes NFA and Iko. Basically a rock oriented closing. Not a must hear but it does have a number of historic firsts and is well played. | |

A- | sbd weiner [2007-06-10]Excellent mix and sound. Encore provided by a very good aud which does not yet independently circulate though it is given high remarks in the TC. This show is well played from start to finish, though no particular song stands out as an epic version. Its on the should hear list because of its consistency throughout. Somwaht unusual for the transition from Drums > Wharf Rat sans a TOO. "Why was May 77 so good? This show is a perfect example -- every song is flawlessly executed, grooving hard and full of passion and skill. This was the most well-crafted, tight era for the Dead....This could well be the most underrated of the May '77 run. This is a definite stand-out. There is not a moment of this show that is not just bubbling with IT. This is probably my favorite Jack Straw; there's just something about the inflection in Donna's voice when she hits that "out of SHAH-anne, from sea to shining sea." But, take it from me, you won't be able to listen to just one track...put aside a few hours and take it all in...." JackARoe maybe was released on the Phil Zone CD. | |

Set 2 is also very good - for a May 77 date, the playing here seems a bit more emotional and enthusiastic - don't know if this was a result of the infrequent visits of the band to Alabama... | |

A | Excellent sound quality. Show is played with great attention to detail. The result is near studio sounding perfection. The jams in Playin' are controlled and sound thought out as well. [2007-07-02] Excellent sound quality. Set 1 starts with Promised Land, Sugaree-> El Paso. Garcia seemed to put experiment with Sugaree placements and segues at the beginning of the 1st set. These are followed by a smattering of normal 77 set 1 tunes ending with Dancin'. Set II begins with Samson, followed by another slow Garcia pace change song typical of 1st set material, ROR. Next comes typical set 2 material for this tour - Estimated , Terrapin -> Playin' -> Uncle John's Band-> Drums-> The Wheel-> China Doll-> Playin'. The UJB> Wheel>China Doll is not a common sequence.

A- | I'm in general agreement with the TC on this one. This show has one GREAT SET 1, not a slacker in the bunch. Played with lots of attention and Jerry's adding lots of fun. In fact all stand-alone songs are played above average. Jack A Roe good intro and I like Bobby's playing. Biggest surprise - OMSN! Yes, I was drawn into Jerry's guitar work, sounded like he was in a good mood and laying down some fine licks. Lives up to the 5/77 reputation. The second set post drums segue fest of The Other One-> Comes A Time-> Saint Stephen-> Not Fade Away-> Saint Stephen-> One More Saturday Night is way good. [2007-06-30]Relistened - teh S>F to end set 1 is not exceptional. The Estimated -> He's Gone is slowly developed which works well for these tune, but the ensuing Drums is too long and aimless, but quickly forgotten with a -> The Other One-> Comes A Time-> Saint Stephen-> Not Fade Away-> Saint Stephen-> One More Saturday Night romp thru some of 77's best performed songs. Any show with a CAT is almost guaranteed to be above average. Excellent sound too! | |

A- | Genealogy: MR > DAT > CDR > SHN > CDR > SHN > shntool > FLAC; SBE fix of shn id 13399 [2007-05-09]STandard high quality mix and sound on this source. Set 1 dispatches the standard 77 material with near phonocopy precision. Set 2 continues marching along with a Scarlet > Fire that entertains but doesn't leave lasting impressions of greatness. This amnesia continues for Estimated -> He's Gone-> Drums. The ensuing TOO contains some improv but it too is so perfectly paced and played that its difficult to get emotionally attached. First indications that the band are not mere technically adept robots appears in the reprise of TOO out of Wharf Rat which in turn segues into The Wheel - a most welcome tune too rarely played. Alas, its another Around&Around after that. Fans of 77 will enjoy this. From LMA "Wharf Rat is such a melancholy tune. Somewhat romantic, but very melancholy. Its so sad to think of a guy spending half his life in jail for someone else's crime and the other half stumbling around drunk on burgandy wine." Star Wars opened on this date? ....The music between the Other One > Wharf especially is unique and at times Jerry playing solo." | |

A- | Patched BBD by Owen Brothers [2006-06-18] From the LMA "During the NFA jam, Garcia's noodling works its way into the familiar patterns heard in Supplication. Towards the end of it, he summarizes with the chords that suggest Weir is about to step up and sing "Well dizzy aint the word for the way that you're makin me feel now...." Instead, they return to a NFA verse. The drummers then switch over to the steady beat of GDTRFB....Garcia's solos are fairly inspired, especially his use of the chords. The ending is a bit odd: he tries to state the usual Bid You Goodnight-type theme, but the band seems to want to race on and do another GDTRFB verse. Then they quickly bring the whole thing down to start A&A." Not an epic performance but definitely in the top 25% for 77. Problem is nothing to distinguish it from the other shows from this year. Nice sound quality, though the aud fades between each track get in the way a tad and disrupt the smooth playing.

B/C | Teddy Goodbear & Jim Wise Aud [2007-06-30] Goodbear's "boombox" segment from Samson thru drums has a very noticeable "mp3" quality to it - warbly and tinny. Don't know if that was on the original or a by product of Teddy's digital manipulation using software available at the time. The show has a strong Sugaree and the NFA thru intro to Wharf Rat is very nice with some Phil/Jerry interplay. I guess I would have liked to have heard the complete Wise tape and see if Teddy is correct that his is better for Terrapin. Wise's tape is B+ grade with maybe a little muddy-ness on the bass. I need to hear Moore's tape to see if it sounds ok though it is further back. Excellent PITB as well. | |

A- | aud [2007-06-14]Sound quality good but Jack-A-Roe and LL and maybe a bit of NFA have skips that must have been digital in origin. Jack-A-Roe is the worst. This is a professionally dispatched show with a fairly common setlist. I'd rank the performance at slightly above average for the year, mostly because it lacks something to set it apart. Sugaree is well played as the 2nd song, but compared to the shred fests in May this one is more focused on the tone of the notes than the rhythm. The Estimated > EOTW that starts the improv section is a well played professionally regurgitated rendition. Unusual long intro to Wharf Rat, NFA I believe has Bob suggesting the band go into China Cat but no one bites. | |

A- | sbd miller [2007-04-16]The last of the 3 night run of the "exactly perfect band" shows. Set 2 has a strong setlist on paper with a Help -> Slipknot!-> Franklin', Estimated -> Stephen-> NFA -> Drums-> Stephen-> Terrapin -> Sugar Mag and a double encore of U.S. Blues and OMSN. From the Archive (some people really like this show) "When you listen to this performance, something magical happens. You can feel that they had really put something together with this set. The happenings are ritualistic in a sense that they evoke such profound experience even if you are just lying in bed at night, on no particular night. A living time machine indeed. I dare anyone to listen to this Terrapin & say that The Grateful Dead is not truly doing something awesome for humanity. My thanks goes out......The amount of care and love you can hear coming out of this recording is just overwhelming. That's what we listen for, and you could almost always feel that coming through from the event, still alive in the recording, putting those reverberations out into the universe, but this one is just way above the usual. There is something about the way Bobby starts off saying they couldn't start until everything was just right. You can hear the band at their most precise, and powerful, right here. Amazing." My personal taste gravitates to shows where the playing is more spontaneous even if more mistake prone. But this is a solid show which the mjority of fans will rate highly and its available in both excellent aud and sbd quality! | |

[2008-04-18]Always interesting to compare auds for shows only available here-to-fore in sbd. This aud is bass light and being an outdoor show, there isn't that much hall reverb to pick up - for the most part, I do not find this show as good as many others, and this aud did not change my opinion. For the most part, folks will prefer the Dick's Pick to the aud unless you are a completeist or audio-phile | |

A/B | sbd [2007-05-30] This is an apt quote from the LMA "This show isn't up to par with most '77 shows. Part of the problem is that the drums are too loud on this recording, but Bill and Micky are also kind of sloppy here. And the band seems a little tired or something. Not a bad show, vocals are good, but not inspired, either." Kick drum is too high in the mix causing speaker overload. | |

B/A | sbd - cotsman [2007-05-16]Sonic quality on this below average - places with distortion or change in mix/ambiance. Strikes me as an average show at best. Jerry says "See you later" after the UJB encore and my working hypothesis is he says this only when he thinks the performance was good. This is one of the few exceptions to that rule. Some comments from the LMA "I pretty much agree in saying that this is an average show. Great to listen and chill to but if you are itching for some outragous dead jams, this is not the show you are looking for. There is one stand out tune in my opinion and it's this version on Franklin's. It is really different." | |

B+ | bbd [2007-06-10]Sound wise kick drum too high in the mix and occasional overload. Not a strong 77 show. People seem to rave about it since its in 77. "Another one of those shows in a peak year like 1977, where its companion show - 10/2, completely overshadows it. Tonight is sort of the warm up, with neither the great song sets nor the longer and more developed jams like Wheel> Truckin> Other One from the second night. But hey, you can't keep listening to the same handful of great 1977 shows over and over again! Set Two is better than I had remembered it. The Estimated is funky and in the pocket rhythmically (but what is that strange popping/flapping noise briefly on the master?). Eyes blasts off at a fast pace and ends with a brief Phil solo before leading us into the Dancin riff. Not one of my favorite songs, but this version is quite good, with some tasty guitar work from Jerry at the end. Then the standout for me - Black Peter, not played since the Winterland Oct 1974 shows." | |

A- | bbd [2007-05-19]Many have high opinions of this show. They site the set opening Casey Jones (out of rotation since 74 and rare in the opening position), Jerry forgets some of the verses so they play a longer than usual version (sounds meandering and not noteworthy to me). Dupree appears (1st since 69?) and its ok. LIG is called inspired but again I can't say what is special about it from 50 other versions. | |

A- | bbd transfer ect via Green Mountain Brothers [2007-12-16]Sound quality is very good, the performance is enjoyable but not exceptional for this year. The reviews on the LMA though woudl suggest I'm missing something, foe example here's a typical one: "For years I had a tape of this show what always stood out for me was the transition between Truckin and Other One. It really shows the boys at their best. The Jerry and Phil interplay is especially terrific. The bands just so tight. The show on the whole is great. As stated before the Scarlet Fire is a superb version and the rest of the show is also strong. Not to mention the sound is exceptional, both warm and crisp."

Lloyd Noble Center, University Of Oklahoma - Norman,
OK |
A- | sbd patched by Cotsman [2007-05-19]Rumor has it this was one of 3 shows that Latvala pitched for the DP series. Set 1 starts with the last time H>S>F would be played with Keith and Donna. Of course this is a great song combo but can't say that this specific rendition is one of the best played - in fact, being the lead off for the night and out of rotation it comes off a little rusty. The band gets into the 77 "perfection" groove for the rest of the set with a good Straw, Deal and LIG. I don't find LIG is a tune that I look forward to hearing - melody seems too orchestrated and forced but lots of folks rave about 77 versions that closed set 1. Set II starts with a funky
Dancin' -> Dire Wolf, followed by an Estimated (Garcia playing is aggressive and edgy) -> Eyes (smooth flawless playing)-> Drums (boring)-> Not Fade Away (highlight of show - Garcia playing very edgy, definite should hear this version) -> Wharf Rat (good)-> Around and Around (standard). Nice show, probably worth a listen if you like 77 and check out the NFA.

This show seems more famous for Latvala's enthusiastic opinion of it. Here's a LMA comment that captures the pro side "101177: The last Help>Slip>Franklin's w/Donna & Keith; gotta love how Jerry ad-libs on the lyrics, "It rings like fire if you lose you way.....Yes,it will!" Phil..is, well, 1977 Phil. There is "something" about this show that is special in its own imperfect perfection. It was mentioned earlier: selections from this show can be found as "hidden tracks" on Dick's Picks #29 (Disc 2: "NFA>Wharf Rat?>Around..." Disc #5: "Dancin'>Dire Wolf")" To me, set 2 has too common a set list (Estimated > Eyes > TOO >Wharf Rat > A&A) to make it to the top of my list of exceptional 77 shows.

A- | sbd cotsman patched [2007-05-24] Jerry seems more engaged at the start of this show (eg. TLEO he isn't playing rote phrases). Some mix issues at the start. Set 1 unremarkable typical setlist, ending with a LL>Supp, Deal trifecta. Set 2 is more interesting from song choice perspective, though the pairing Samson, Jed should be avoided, just plain wrong!. The Estimated -> He's Gone-> Drums->TOO->Peter-> Truckin' is standard, but the jam into Nobody's Fault But Mine has a unique slinky feel to it that puts it on the must hear list. Jerry cuts this song short with an abrupt drop into Iko Iko (3rd time played).

This segment had extreme promise had it been contiguous without the encore break "PITB (nice quite version) -> Drums(is there any verions that really stands out?)-> The Wheel (transition into this tunes from drums is good)-> Wharf Rat-> Around & Around, E:Brokedown Palace (rare treat well played)-> PITB (nice wrap up)".

Moody Coliseum, S.M.U - Dallas,
TX |
B+ | sbd cotsman [2007-05-24]Sound quality listenable but there is some hum and not as good as other boards around this era. Performance is one of the weaker ones of 77. Set 1 samples material in rotation. Set 2 has a "story telling" Terrapin, followed by the highlight of SS > NFA. It also has a rare encore of Truckin > OMSN. The most positive and deatiled LMA comment is "Stephen starts sluggish, and you almost want to forget about it. But patience pays. The jam begins around 5:15. At 5:37 or so, Jerry comes up with a compelling, new melodic new theme. It doesn't really go far, and fades. But at 6:45, he strikes his beautiful melodic diamond in the rough. He works it wonderfully until 7:26, and then its back to the last verse. This melodic workout is a precursor to the full-blow Ode To Joy he uncorks during 1-22-78, when we experience the second coming of Beethoven. The Not Fade is energetic, and driven, but not quite the maniacal third eye romp that is 1-7-78. The jam spins out and gets kind of quiet and contemplative after the nine minute mark, slowing the train into Stella. There is a short splice at around 7:40." | |

Evans Field House, Northern Illinois University - DeKalb,
IL |
A- | sbd cribbs [2007-04-17]Nice sound quality and a very together performance. Maybe being in a low key place allowed the band to play a bit differently this night. Nice sound quality. From the Archive comments "A, but the boys take a detour into an unsual Phil solo with drums. A mellow NFA (also similar to those in '76) ensues with some great work by Jerry. This winds down into an evocative Black Peter, which plays the role that Wharf Rat usually does. The Dead wrap it up with respectably rocking Sugar Magnolia and Saturday night.....lthough 1977 was a year of consistant great shows, it's May and October that for me, the Dead were really at their peak. This one and 10/2 stand out in particular. The 1st Set is long and features nice performances from Jerry on Dire Wolf and Roses, plus a well-jammed Let it Grow.
Set 2 just smokes from start to finish. The long Estimated>Eyes jam evolves into an early Space, before launching into another great 77 St. Stephen>NFA pairing. Then Jerry pulls out a rare Black Peter (only 6 in 77) and brings the house down. One to add to your 1977 collection for sure!....People, this is kharmic ground-zero for me. While I grew up in Northern California, my parents were both from DeKalb, IL. I used to spend all my summers back there. Eating big juicy peaches. Corn picked, boiled and eaten all within 30 minutes. Aunt Izzy's pies. Catching fire-flies in glass jars after the sun went down. This is my personal mythology, and it is an essential component of my world-view. I have not been in Illinois since 1976, and certainly did not see this show. But hearing this music, and realizing that the boys set up their equipment and howled at the moon in DeKalb means a lot to me. We've all got our favorite shows for any number of different reasons. In this case, the performance is top-shelf 1977 vibe, with more energy than most. However, it is the convergence of a peak performance with my personal history that makes this a top 10 all-time favorite for me. Even if your grandmother didn't bake you sugar cookies in DeKalb, you'll still have your mind blown with "Friend of the Devil", "Estimated Prophet" > "Eyes of the World" > "Space" > "St. Stephen". Holy sh!t, Batman, this is some good stuff. DL a lifelong pal with this show." | |

mastering by Jack Warner. Overall sound B+ quality but there sounds to be a lot of "tape deterioration" so I drop it down a 1/3 grade. Set 1 Let It Grow jammed out. The Estimated > Eyes segue not as smooth as I would have liked. To my ears the different gears for these tunes caused the spacey groove jam in estimated to be cut too fast. The TC has the opposite opinion on this one. [2007-04-17]I changed my original opinion of the sound - its a very nice aud for this time and the show has unusually high energy and spunkiness. The jam after jam (aka space) is very nice. | |

TC review is spot on which i'll quote "Overall leisrely versions and long waits between songs appear to be the order of the day...perfect for arm chair listening" Terrapin to Estimated is "Weir led", aka abrupt.

A- | sbd [2007-05-29]This is a pleasant soundboard and a top performance for the fall tour. I liked the Jeryr led jam in Supplication. Set 1 in general sounds fresh despite the standard setlist with a MAW closer. set 2 starts with alternating hot/cold songs: Samson/SOF (Jerry flubs some lyrics), Good Lovin/Sunrise. Nice S>F. Estimated is up next and it features Garcia playing his guitar as though he were a horn player - very nice!. The transition to SS is rough and tumble though so take some points off. Truckin' features some strong chordal playing at the end that I've heard a few times this year. Energetic Around&Around and a rare Terrapin encore. Some excellent renditions, Jerry seems present and accounted for. | |

The jam in set 2 looks strong on paper with Scarlet -> Fire -> Estimated -> Saint Stephen-> Truckin'-> Around & Around. Because of the continuity of music, the energy level picks up but don't feel compelled to say that this is in any way epic. The Terrapin encore was a nice touch - instead of a throw away tune they select a challenging piece. | |

The crazily fast, tight mania that crackles off of this show will leave you breathless and exhausted after a full listen. A good show to compare this to would be 77.05.04. While both shows exhibit the signature '77 hyperdelic cocaine soundstamp -- 05.04 is a nice moonlit, redwine convertible ride compared to the violent psychic enema the Dead gave these undergraduates that magical night at Colgate. The blistering solos during this Eyes of the World alone will make every effort to toss you bodily over The Cliff. This one will clean the tubes right out -- never mind the initial pressure behind the eyes and those leering insectoid midgets as the skein of space/time unravels, just hang ON to your faces, loyal SHNarvesters, this is some ride..." | |

Set 2 starts with the Phil "Jones Gang" intro which launches into a get off your ass and boogie Samson which segues into a rare CR&S!. Then they dive into a PITB > EOTW > Estimated > TOO before a short drums. At this point the energy drops when they exit into Iko and a Stella before the expected PITB reprise. Overall I give this night an A- for the first half of set 2. Someone notes that this might be the 1st time that EOTW > Estimated instead of the reverse. | |

A- | Alan Zimmerman Master via David Minches [2007-04-08] The sound quality here is a tad bit harsh (maybe a bit hot on the levels?) if I was to be picky. Its a very nice aud tape. The show is homecoming so the band is here to impart an upbeat vibe - set 1 is typical ending with a nice LIG. Set 2 starts w/ some euipment problems and a humorous Lesh intro of the band and crew as the Jones's which segues into a very upbeat Samson > CR&S! the latter out of rotation for at least a year I believe. Then comes a very cohesive PITB -> EOTW -> Estimated -> TOO -> Drums-> Iko Iko-> Stella -> PITB. The tenor here is not to dwell at length on any specific theme but on the flow between songs. None of these are best of year stuff but basically a fun college dance. I give it an A- for the CRS and basic togetherness of set 2

A- | aud - clugston [2006-06-15] Excellent sound quality. I'm reminded that Half Step when positioned as the 1st or 2nd song of set 1 works well because it starts with lengthy vocals that allows some time to settle but during the jam allows the energy to ramp up at a measured pace. Set 1 ends with a somewhat non-standard song mix of Candyman, Jack Straw, Deal. Set 2 features Phil little bass solo's throughout. Excellent sound on this aud - rich and well articulated bass. Check it out. One of the top shows for 77 IMO.

Jerry seems to be in a rock-n-roll mood for set 1 - his playing on 1/2 Step and Big River struck me as very energetic, engaged and assertive. Set 1 ends on an upbeat note with Jack Straw & Deal. Set 2 is on the must hear list as it features Lesh doping a multitude of soloing. It starts with Jam/Lesh Solo -> EOTW -> Lesh Solo > Samson & Delilah, and this recording really picks up Lesh's bass nicely! The Estimated -> He's Gone-> Drums w/ Lesh Sort of Solo > TOO is smoth with some standout Lesh moments. When the band comes back for the encore Phil asks the crowd if they know what night it is (OMSN is then played). Excellent aud with a Lesh heavy mix and an unusual show too boot!

A/B | sbd [2007-06-16]The sound quality and mix are very good, except the drums are a tad bit high so sometimes their thumping caused overload. This is another above average 77 show which showcases a transition to the 78 more grungy-rock oriented playing style, while the song choice is solidly 77 with St Stephen in the set 2 improv section. If you want a sampling of 77, this show should be on that list. | |

The performance is strong. From the LMA "The 1st set is strong, if a little ragged, but Jerry guides the band from a gorgeous Friend of the Devil through a spiraling and crazy Music Never Stopped. Jerry really runs out of gas on Scarlet>Fire, which is marred by horrendously blown lyrics. After a somewhat tepid mid-point, there's a nice Rat and then an all-time version of Truckin' to close it out...." HalfStep, and Truckin are rck-n-roll excellent as most people note in their reviews. | |

A- | sbd patched by Cotsman [2007-06-01] From the LMA "I can't believe how fantastic it is. The recording sound and mix is excellent. The performances of all are right on - vocals and instrumentals, with much energy and power. Good set list done extremely well. After such a great year, it is surprising that they still had so much left - and it is not even New Year's yet! Miss this show at your own risk (DON'T)...Check out the Cold Rain and Snow -- there's nothing cold about it, and is about as perfect as it gets. Supplication, Scarlet, also great. This is a better show than those of fall '77. The year went out on a high note...besides some excellent standout songs (see other reviews), the whole thing has an incredible and consistent energy - with no moment wasted." Though there are no singularly best versions, this is a very well played show (though by Truckin > A&A it reverted to more rote playing). Sound quality is excellent, though the stereo mix makes Keith's tinkering sound odd and distracting in places. But Garcia and the band seems genuinely glad to be playing again and that freshness is what sets this show apart for 77. | |

Set 2 for this night is good with an Estimate > He's Gone > TOO > Wharf Rat > Franklin's that maintains a nice pace. The Franklin's out of Wharf Rat was unexpected. Good sound and mix. | |

B+ | set 1 really drags and Jerry's voice still shot. One of the poorest sets I've heard. Set 2 picks up a bit in the jam portion but better versions exist on other nights so skip this unless you went or are collecting. [2006-10-01]Gave this another listen. Set 1 is typical for the tour. I generally find the songs not that interesting. The piano comes across with distortion esp. on the places where Keith is playing loud chords. Set 2 jam is better than my 1st review. Estimated w/ the distorted Garcia sound develops that groovy stony Estimated space. Eyes is good. The NFA is another strong extended version. Probably the best that can be expected for a show with small turnout (comment from Phil about a high school b-ball game being stiff competition. | |

B+ | sbd - cotsman [2006-10-01] Piano mic again picks up distortion. This show has an unusual Keith/Drummer jam where Keith plays some Jarrett like riffs. Doesn't sound like the drummers are trying to actually follow what Keith is playing, but more like Keith had some themes he wanted to play out from the He'sGone. The Estimated > He's Gone > Jam is the best part. The rest of the show comes across as very standard delivery. | |

Set 1 song mix alternates in styles and pacing and doesn't gather much momentum. I'd say its a one time listen show and unlikely that you'll listen to much except the Terrapin > PITB portion unless you're a die hard 78 fan. | |

A- | aud [2006-11-13] This is a very good aud that has Keith higher in the mix than other shows from this era. This is an excellent show and it is clear why this was included on a DP's. The CR&S that starts the show is very good and all the band memebrs are engaged. Set 1 numbers are played sprightly, though many of these songs aren't my favorites. Set 2 breaks with their standard habits of this era by the unusual Estimated > EOTW > PITB > Wheel > PITB. More like a 76 setlist. This is what makes this show special. Check it out for one of the best performances of this period. | |

A- | SBD via Charlie Miller [2007-04-14]Another excellently mixed sbd with nice warm sound - show is average or if you're critical an example of the playing "rut" the band had fallen into for many 78 dates. Nothing here struck me as worth special mention for better or worse other than I didn't get any buzz listening to this. | |

A- | sbd [2007-01-18]Very nice mix and sound (except Jerry might be low on the US Blues encore). Also excellent tight playing and generally relaxed show. The S>F, Estimated > Eyes make for a good sit down listen. Also the Jam out of drums before Sugar Mag has a Close Encounters theme tease by Jerry with Phil following on the bass. | |

A- | 7" Betty Board Reel @ 7 1/2 ips > PCM501ES > Fostex D5 > optical S/PDIF out (Jace's tape) > disk WBOTB Transferred by Tim Deibert 3-10-02 [2007-04-28]This was part of the batch of BBD's that Tim Diebert had xferred about 4 years back but were never circ'd. I have not carefully compared it to others that circ to see if it is substantially different. The mix and tone are very good as are all BBD's of this era. The show is well played but the setlist has nothing exceptional and suffers from a long drums section that is not engaging. The 1/2 step, S>F, Estimated > EOTW are good as they usually are for this era. Not a must hear 78 show. | |

A- | SBD -> Master Reel -> PCM -> Dat (44.1k) Transfers and Mastering By Charlie Miller [2007-04-22] This show has some moments and also some lapses. The show starts well with a well jammed Half Step, but reverts to typical deliveries of material in rotation for the rest of set 1. Set 2 continues with typical materail and delivery, marred by some lapses in verses but having a Close Encouters forray in the post drums space slot. Sound is very a very well mixed and rich toned sbd.

A/B | sbd - miller [2006-12-28]Sound quality and mix are good. Show gets a glowing must listen review in the TC which completely escapes me. I thought the transitions were jagged in the Dancin > Drums > Franlin's segment and shared characteristics of the poorer shows from 78 - little cohesion and song selections which are not my favorites. | |

Set 2 continues the high energy where set 1 left off with A Samson, Scarlet > Fire. S>F fans will enjoy this version - its a good rendition but no claims for best ever. Sunrise sort of lets the air out of the balloon and the Drums is uninteresting and long. The rest of set 2 features songs I'm not fond of. Sound quality and mix are very good - too bad there weren't more highlights. Basically a one listen show. | |

A | If you like 78 Dead then you'll want to get this show. First its a perfectly mixed Betty Board so you'll be hard pressed to find a better sounding show. Second, the songs are all well played - I esp. enjoyed teh Scarlet > Fire, SHip of Fools and Estimated > Eyes. Maybe the drums are a bit repetitive. Other than that set 2 is very good. There are a few very brief skips and some static in SSDD and US Blues, but these are minor faults. I spent a lot of time trying to get a version with matching md5's - after a few tries I took this one. (difference not from seek tables). | |

A- | sbd via Miller [2007-02-26]Preferred source (less errors) as of this date. Your typical 78 Betty board for sound and mix. Show starts out with a solid Set I closing with an always good S>F. Set II keeps the enrgy with a Samson, pauses a bit with Ship of Fools, then a nice Estimated -> EOTW -> but the Drums-> Iko Iko dissipates the momentum and the show reverts to one of the less exciting after this point, closing with a standard Sugar Magnolia, E: U.S. Blues. Worth a listen but probably won't be a show that requires much resistance to eject it from your playlist,

Set 2 has a somewhat unusual sequencing with Scarlet -> Dancin' -> Drums-> Samson. Terrapin -> Around. Scarlet > Dancin > Samson is a rare combo and the full stop before the Terrapin > Around completes the set. The drums is somewhat lengthy and as noted in the Compendium, tends to be aimless banging on anything by multiple members of the band (or something like that). | |

On this tape, you can really hear clearly Jerry's guitar and nuances of his playing. The Scarlet > Dancin' >Drums > Samson was a rare pairing and sequence. | |

A- | Very nice aud recording - this night gets exceptionally high reviews from the TC. Songs are well played but this is an average show to my ears. [2007-01-17]On re-listening this is a better show than average. The Sugaree and Deal from the 1st set and PITB from set 2 are easy to get drawn into. Standard setlist for the time. Excellent sound and mix and no intrusive audience. | |

Deal to close set 1 good example of this. The set 2 jam Terrapin Station-> Playin' In The Band-> Drums-> Wharf Rat-> Sugar Magnolia, espc the PITB thru Sugar Mag is worth hearing. After listening to many other 78 shows this one, though not epic is an above average performance and left me with a smile on my face. | |

[2008-08-02]This comment is apt "Generational and age decay causes some phasing in this source. The upfront and unique quality of this recording justifies circulation even with the aforementioned inconsistencies. Hopefully this master will surface." I really enjoyed this set and tape - the band seems very engaged and enjoying themselves and the playing is at a high level throughout. I'd say this snippet is a must listen for the quality of the tape and the performance, especially the Jerry/drummer jam out of the "drum" segment. If you like Jerry shredding for a while this is a good example imo. | |

B+ | sbd - the sound quality here a bit hissy. The show has some good renditions and the songs that typically are well played are well played. [2006-11-19] On this repeat listen I thoughtthe Iko Iko out of drums disrupted the flow of the set. There is an obvious bit of aimless noodling when the band is uncertain what follows but Garcia does a left turn into TOO. The energy of this show is high, and I'd put it into the top half for 78. | |

Set 1 had its share of dead air moments - show is again characteristic of the band at this time but can't find anythig to single this show out - I'm not a fan of the iko-iko - seems to last forever (especially when the drums segment itself is forgetable) but Phil tries to pull up the energy with TOO. | |

B+ | Aud - solid with good sound. I thought most of these May shows had similar playing energy etc so its hard to say any one really stands out or is less deserving than the others, though the TC has definite favorites. Agin, the TC review is more negative on this night. I enjoyed listening to it though I can't say I'll play it often. Its not a must have show. [2007-01-14]SOund is a bit more boomy than the best auds that circ for this time but still very listenable. This show is similar to the 5/11/79 setlist except it has a Samson/SOF instead of teh S>F, i.e. the Dancin > Drums > NFA is done in a similar, though not necessarily as humorous as the 5/11 date. Also has a Werewolves encore | |

A- | sony aud via Fishman [2007-01-16]This is a very good recording with a good mix and no intrusive audience. The performance is strong (released as a Dick's Picks). The Estimated > Eyes transition is a bit too quick compared to the versions I enjoy the best. Also the drums section is long and rather aimless. It does make the emergence of TOO a pleasant tension builder by the relief from the directionless drums segment. The Wharf Rat > Sug Mag closer maintains the solid high energy playing for a strong finish. Keith is high in mix compared to many sbd's especially in set 1 so you get a chance to hear his work. | |

A- | Aud source for the "mescalin" show. i got this to see if the audience perspective communicated extra hotness for this show. Actually, the audience tape sounds very similar to the board and the crowd is subdued so net-net no different take on the show from the sbd. Set 1 has a promising start with CR&S then the energy level drops and remains subdued for most of the set. Nothing special. Set 2 though makes up by a very nice Scarlet > Fire, Dancin > NFA quartet of songs that deserve a listen. This is a nice aud tape too boot. I noticed that Stella Blue had a small repeat section where a fade out/in probably wasn't done properly (or maybe my cd skips..) | |

This is now an official release and though not one that stays in rotation, it should be heard once given the quality of the recording and the appeal to many people of this show. | |

Get this show for the tone of this aud tape in the Uptown. [2006-11-19]2nd listen. Sound quality still rated excellent. This listen I thought Jerry's playing on the Space out of drums is on the must hear list. He continues with the "Estimated" sound and its very engaging, especially leading into the always enjoyable CAT in the ballad slot. Jack Straw and Cassidy and JBG encore are above average. So my rating of this show has improved with time. | |

A- | sony 54p's [2006-10-20] The TC gives this performance very high marks, noting that since it only circs in aud that it doesn't get the credit its due. I heartily agree. Here are some comments from the Archive "this show has great energy from beguinning to end. awesome 1st set with the most intense LL>supplication i've ever heard, bobby sounds great... i love keith's solos in TLEO from '78, this one is especially groovy and surly in a keith sort of way. it isn't perfect, but i think this show has even more charisma than both the following Red Rocks shows." ..." Sizzling Sugaree and check out the monster LL>Supplication. First set packs a nice punch and has all the same licks of the Red Rocks run starting 2 days hence.... Set II has a blockbuster go off in SOF which sets up an incandescent Estimated - Folks this is one of the best if not the best I have heard from '78 no lie. The jam is ripping and goes on forever. ...They never let up and Jerry steps right in with the wawa and flanger in an eery and fast jam. Great Wharf Rat and the HANDS DOWN BEST OF '78 TRUCKIN into a great Iko with a wailing Donna the crowd does not know what to make of this and thinks its NFA remember this had been played 8X since 5/15/77 St. Louis." I think the aud tape is fast (check out Lazy Lightnin), but the pitch isn't as off as what I would think from the speed. Maybe this is why it sounds good. The set 2 jam of Estimated > EOTW > Phil/Drums > Drums > Space > WR > Truckin > Iko is very well played. Garcia is playing in a jazzy style with the 78 grunge sound with not wankery. Set 1 is similar in style with songs typical of this time. It avoids some tunes in rotation that don't engage me so that's another reason I like the show. Hopefully it can be re-transferred with no speed issues. | |

Definitely an interesting show - so far these July shows are all better than average with some Garcia grunge playing. Check it out for its somewhat unusual uptempo delivery. | |

B+ | sbd [2006-10-20] From the info file "This is not in stereo: the same channel is spread over both using a splitter technique. The channel that should contain Keith, half of Jerry, Billy, and possibly some of Phil, is missing; Keith is minimally audible" Listening to this I didn't hear any obvious issues so the above comments shouldn't detract you from giving this a spin. The sbd is better than the cousin-it aud. Tight show, energy, one of the better from 78. 1st Red Rocks shows. Combined with 7/8/78 and you have an excellent 2 night run from this year. | |

B | aud [2006-10-20]Being an open air venue, there is no reverb here so it sounds dry like many sbds. This recording is also fast so its needs a speed correction. The show is upbeat and the gd are all present and accounted for. This results in positive upside surprise (though the next night gets most of the attention perhaps beause the sbd for that dates sounds better). One of the better shows from 78 for performance quality and energy. I think the sbd for this date is the better recording and I'm an aud-i-ho. | |

A- | AUD Source: Recording by Bob Wagner. Sony ECM-54P's > Sony TC-158. [2007-03-01]This is an improved version of the existing aud source. The sound quality is much improved, though the outdoor venue makes the soundfield appear monoish. The show is a good one for 78 with a double encore and a upbeat set 2 song choice. Probably should hear once but my overall rank is in the top of the 2nd quartile. | |

Egypt |
A- | sbd [2007-01-04]Very good sound quality and mix - average 78 setlist (not necessarily a good thing) and delivery. Not a compelling performance overall. Deal starts to show some signs of the band getting into what they are doing - Olin Agreed here is choppy and not as good as the prior nights. Shakedown has an extended funk jam that is not typical of this song.

A- | sbd [2006-10-12]This was the 1st show I saw while living in Berkeley (last show being BMH June 76). It was the first time I had been bored at a live dead show. I could not understand why the audience seemed so excited about the show. Listening to this sbd recording indicates why. Up until Terrapin the show consists of lackluster delivery of disconnected, uninteresting tunes. The Terrapin and PITB are short, lacking any improv to make the night special. Wharf Rat actually had some emotion behind it and was teh highlight of the night, then Truckin' starts with Bob blowing the whistle to get the marching band together. The cheese programing the crowd kicks in. Lame. This is one date you can skip. The sound quality and mix are quite good. | |

A- | sbd [2006-10-15] Sound quality and mix are very good. The interesting part of this show is the Ollin Arrageed. The rest is better than the first few dates of this run but if one widens the comparison to 78 I would put this on the must hear list. Comination of the song type, absence of cohesion to the sets (momentum building) and bland emotional delivery. | |

Seems to capture the tight playing with jams that never become wanky with very good vocals (for the gd). Seems to be more energetic than the Boston shows. The S>F in set 2 and TOO > Olin Agreed jam (somewhat unique the TC claims) are good. | |

A- | complete set 2 aud [2007-01-14]Excellent aud though perhaps a tad bit too much audience. This is a must hear set which improves with listening. It is unique in starting the set with Jam-> Drums-> Jam-> Jack A Roe. The jam sections here are similar to what one expects in the middle of set 2 (so they are well developed and worthy of attentive listening, not perfunctory or casual). Also unusual is the segue into Jack-A-Roe. The PITB-> Shakedown -> Drums-> If I Had The World To Give-> Playin' In The Band-> Around & Around is worthy for a nice PITB, a good early version of Shakedown but mostly for the excellently delivered World To Give. Hard to believe they only did this one three times. | |

A- | matrix [2006-11-21]This is a must hear as noted by Chris Chappell in the info file which I quote "The first set is about 76 mins. in length whereas this second set is about 65
mins. without an encore. One of the strangest second sets in terms of format, song selection, and plain old jamming - they essentially start with Space and
play two distinctive jams (the second with Jerry using the Mutron) sandwiched
around Drumz before finally settling into Jack A Roe, a 17 month rezi, 8th
time played, only version of 1978, and only version which involves a segue. After they stop playing after the Jack A Roe (the only break in the set), Weir can clearly be heard on the SBD laying out the sequence: Playin > Shakedown > World To Give > Playin (it's unclear if he mentions Round & Round) - so this is very much planned, most likely because this is only the 5th Shakedown (no reprise) and the third and final If I Had The World To Give. Also, according to those that were there, Weir was ill for the early part of
this set, so they opened with "jam". | |

A/B | complete show composite sbd/aud [2007-01-10]Pitch is still a bit fast for set 1 especially the Bobby cowboy couplet. Set 1 ending LL >Supp is a good version worth hearing. Set 2 (at least until the A&A) is a must hear. It begins with a noodling section that morphs into a Jam (i.e. starts in the style of a P&F show with a group jam) and then goes through some drum/jam segments until Jack-A-Roe. Next Up is a PITB > Shakedown> World to give > PITB which has the last and an excellent version of world to Give. This is a good job at stitching together all the various sources needed to try to get a complete show, except maybe the pitch being a tad fast in places. | |

| Jack Warner notes: "Probably derives from the tape originally recorded by Hugh Barroll." >>Not sure where this speculation came from, but it's incorrect. I've compared them, and they're two distinct masters.
Additionally, there is a 3rd aud recording, taped by Scott Jones, which circulates as a digital transcription from his cassette master. It is, to my ears, superior to either of the other two aud tapes mentioned here. So this is a place holder for the Scot JOnes aud for this date

A- | Prefm by Green Mtn Bros [2007-01-21] The review in the TC makes this one sound like a mandatory listen and one of the best shows ever. I thought it was typical of the uninteresting performances in 78, not even in the top half. Shades of the August thru October hangover (Jerry's voice is starting to crack again too). Sound and mix are nice though - maybe that is what garnered the praise in the TC. | |

Senn has little bass, as I'm sure you know...David Hollister remastered first set in mono for me, as one channel has alot of noise." The performance is ok - these early versions of Shakedown don't carry the energy of ones to come. Also, the songs in rotation at this time tend to be sedate. | |

A&A - a song I've come to not expect much has Jerry doing a great job with playing chords to accent the off beats or sustain a chord just a little longer to make you want to get up a dance to this one. | |

A- | fob sony 54 [2006-10-20] This is another hidden gem of 78 which has both excellent sound and a great performance in what I would call the 78 style - grungy guitar sound but tight playing with no wankery. Couple of archive comments I agree with: "show open with 6 guns blazing and a very hot Half Step>Franklins, and for an audience the sound clarity is exceptional for the pre D5 period... Magnificent second set with a blazing Scarlet>Fire Rest of this set is great especially the bitchen segway into Not Fade from Stella (the only one I am aware of). Magnificent!!" "At the end of Stella, Garcia plays the NFA rhythm, but instead of using that song's E-A chording, he employes the same chords he's been playing in Stella. And it works! A magical creation. The real surprise comes in NFA. Garcia just kind of steps back and eyes the solo; and with the great restraint of a master, he takes his time with some small patterns in the low register. You just know he's going to come up with something. Around the four minute mark, you can start to make out the strain of the new (old) theme. At 6:40 it's very clear, and at 8:40 unmistakeable. They return to NFA around 9:20."

As far as I can tell there isn't any exceptional music that says you should listen to this unless you're a collector or went to the show. The PITB struck me as the best but there are so many versions with excellent sound... | |

B- | aud most via cotsman [2006-11-03] Again a rumbly bass aud that is below average quality for the other auds that circ from this era. Soudn quality poor enough that I can't say listen to this show. It has your Scarlet > Fire and Estimated > Eyes but the GD's playing is fairly consistent on this tour so nothing stands out as uniquely exceptional. | |

Donna sounds like she's gargling in a few places on Scarlet. The aud portion actually sounds a bit better than the sbd.

A | Schug neumanns w/ Nagra. This is an exceptional audience recording having been taped with a Nagra/Neumann combo. The sound quality is as good as I have heard from this era. I listened to this show for about 1 week in my car and it is a solid performance but lacks exceptional moments that would attract your attention had the recording quality not been so excellent. Nevertheless, the recording quality is sufficiently better than normal that you should seek this one out for listening just for that aspect. | |

Winterland Arena - San Francisco,

A | I was living in Berkeley at the time and like an idiot passed up an invitation to go to this concert! I remember getting an espresso on New Year's morning and hearing someone say "I think the Dead are STILL playing at Winterland". Historically, the orchestrated big event concerts have been busts for the Dead music wise. This concert bucks that trend. Set 1 starts off the New Year with a controlled Sugar Mag (I attended 12/31/72 and you have to picture the total chaos of several thousand dosed people in a sea of ballons with the Dead starting to play, adrenalin pumping through everyone's veins and then listen to how the Dead paces this song - incredible IMO). Set 2 is also strong except NFA (which turns into a "Who Do You Love" jam) got sidetracked so the Around/Around transition is abrupt. In the book "Bill Graham Presents", Bill said he wrote a letter to the Dead asking them to reherse and play songs that they hadn't played in a long time that people wanted to hear for the Winterland closing. Set 3 is the Dead's answer to Bill's letter. The Dark Star->TOO segue is nice but to my ears Wharf Rat is the highpoint. If you don't have this show, get it as a defining moment in Dead history. | |

Set 2 better playing overall with a spirited Bertha > Good Lovin to begin and Estimated > Eyes combo which features some enjoyable (if mellow) Jerry playing. The remainder of set 2 shows an increasing group think. At the end the sound of the aud seemed to improve (or I got used to it). Not a bad show but not a must hear either. | |

Candyman I liked. Set 2 has a good Scarlet>Fire, Samson to get things started. Terrapin is ok. PITB has some good improv from Jerry and isn't overextended. Drums uninteresting. TOO is short/intense. Segue into Wharf Rat a bit abrupt but the song is nicely played with a Good Lovin to finish up. Garcia plays some strong licks on US Blues. First Garden show! | |

A- | Gatto fob aud - Sound quality is very good. Set 1 starts with spritely versions of tunes all well played. Bob's slide on Stagger-Lee a minor distraction. Set 2 featured the east coast arrival of Dark Star/ St. Stephen broken out for the Winterland closing. Shakedown not the killer version it would become in fall of this year. I Need A Miracle (an uninspired tune played often this tour). Bertha > Good Lovin' crowd warmer. The Dark Star features Garcia's "fast strumming" improvisation and offers what people expect for this tune. It doesn't overstay its welcome and melts into drums afetr ~16 minutes. The Stephen breakout occurs after Wharf Rat late in set 2, an unexpected place. Nicely played in the late 70's style. This show should be on your list to hear at least once because of the Dark Star/ Stephen breakouts as well as being an overall well played show. | |

Jerry is present and enthusiastic for set 1, and the playing throughout is strong. The Straw > Deal set closer left everyone pumped for set 2. The Miracle had an extended Garcia solo, He's Gone would have been better with less Bobby's slide, Truckin' was more or less straightforward with the jam featuring some He's one riffs. TOO was the best of the set with good tension, Garcia sustaining and pacing well. I enjoyed one listen to this show, one of the better shows of the 79 Keith/Donna era. | |

B+ | [2006-09-14] The Story of This Soundboard: This SBD comes from Vince Perrotti who gave it to Peter Hedeman with following notes: "This was my 18th birthday and a friend of mine was allowed to patch in. He gave me the boards on the 18th. It was a great show, especially for those of us who made the trip up on 11.25.78 when Jerry fell ill." Vince also mentioned that "I noticed as time went by that no one had these boards. I know January '79 boards are rare and I caught 8 shows that month and they were all smoking." This is my 2nd listen to this performance and I'm more aligned now with the TC review - set 1 features tunes that are low on my list of favorites and the delivery is lackluster as well. Set 2 looks better on paper but Jerry's voice is strained and not until EOTW, space and NFA does it seem to gel into something that doesn't require effort to listen to. Also, the board is not your Betty mix and there rae a fair number of cuts/gaps etc. | |

A- | fob aud via fishman senn? - set 1 has good playing and ends with a rousing version of deal. Sound quality is very good (thou I think the Rolfe aud is a tad better). Set 2 - No drums. Standard Miracle > Bertha > lovin triptich to start off, the Bertha has some nice Garcia leads elevating it above a routine performance. He's Gone has a few tasty Phil runs but after the verses moves into Truckin without developing any jam. The Truckin' > TOO is improvised fairly extensively for 79 and the rest of the show thru the encore has good momentum, flow energy and is well played. Althogether an above average show for its consistency and flow. [2005-08-15] | |

Go for Noah's shn set as the definitive. Also, all of the "Nagra reel" sources are also Jerry Moore's. The Nagra story is bogus in so far as all sources that circulate so far are the same as Jerry's.

There is a very funny bit-of-audience-banter where someone scream out in agony "..........NOT THAT..........NOT THAT............ANYTHING BUT THAT........ARGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.............GIVE US A BREAK.............." (they start playing Estimated). Apparently, there were certain songs repeated numerous times on this tour and this instance was one too many for this audience member. A classic to be sure and one of the joys of audience tapes. | |

B | aud - a low quality sound fidelity aud (inferior mics most likely) which will challenge all but the most dedicated audihos to listen to the complete show, but its all that's available for this date. So the question is, was there anything played on this date that would justify your listening to it? Set 1 TLEO has a nice Garcia solo, BEW is well played, and FOTD has Garcia in good voice, Jack Straw has lots of energy and gets the crowd rev'd up. Samson starts set 2 off and sounds much better soundquality. Terrapin has a nice solo but with some porr vocal harmonies so not enough to make it special. PITB is of the fast strumming noodly type, with the drummers repeating Garcia's picking runs, this extends for a good while until dissolving into the drums segment. Garcia continues a nice etheral playing out of drums, playing scales with occasional fluorishes. Altogther a good to very good show. | |

From the Heart of Me is missing. The Scarlet is claimed to be one of teh best, but again this is overstated. Off the bat I think there are several 81's (3/10, 5/5) that are better. It is good though. The jam section of Estimated and the post drums intro to TOO are the musical highlights of the set. Definitely check out the intro to the TOO. | |

B+ | partial set 1 and 2 aud via Andrewf [2007-09-06]From the info file "Notes: This derives from the same source tape as ShnID-13879.
While this version has the same hiss, tape surface noise, and
cuts as the previous tape, the overall sound is an improvement. In "Home Before Daylight" Steve Parish mentions that Jerry took
valium before this show. Jerry's allergic reaction to the pills
would explain why his playing and singing get worse and worse
as the set goes on... On this tape, and the ShnID-13879 tape, Dancin' and Drums were placed at the start of cassette side-B, after Stagger Lee and before Miracle. Jerry's playing is horrific from Stagger Lee
through Bertha, while the playing on Dancin' is somewhat better.
If Jerry were sick, it would seem unlikely that the band would
insert a long song plus drums solo into the 1st set. So it's a
good guess that the Dancin' and Drums segment was spliced into
the circulating tape, and it actually comes from the 2nd set." | |

B+ | naks - [7/4/2005] This show plods along. The Shakedown encore sums it up. The sound quality varies. Sometimes its very good, other times it sounds like a mic dropped out or there is some saturation. Could have been some PA problems or major mic postioning adjustments that contribute. The China > Rider is the highlight of set 1 and like Shakedown, is forced. Set 2 starts with a not very togther NFA (an unexpected positioning). The He's Gone jam is good as it melds with the "talking drum" percussion with Garcia soing lots of fast picking. This resumes after the drums segment and is the musical highlight of the show for me. Garcia's vocals a bit shaky. Truckin' vocals not sync'd or very harmonious. CAT has some emotion for a minute during Jerry's lead. Skip this one unless you have some connection with the time or place. | |

B/A | complete mixed sbd sources - Ste 1 sound quality a notch below good boards - a little muddy or tinny, with the latter from the CE hiss reduction applied. Not much happens in set 1 that would make me search for a better sounding source. Set 2 starts with the overplayed Miracle > Bertha > Lovin' triplet. After dispensing with that, the real show starts with Scarlet > Fire. What I noticed here was that Brent's organ work was more active than I remember from later in the year. He plays more interleaving with Garcia. The Estimated > He's Gone > ... > TOO agains shows Brent playing as though he was always a member. Interesting that he sounds well intergated (check out TOO). Set 2 is worth a listen once you factor in the "first Brent show" uniqueness. | |

More important as Brent's 1st show than any music played - Brent does play differently now than what his style morphs into - I find his earlyplaying more interesting because he seems more willing to not be solely a support role. | |

Samson had Jerry tearing up a storm with some blistering fast runs - then slam on the brakes for a Jed. Yesh. SHort and uneventful Terrapin with a PITB that features Jerry's quick picking 79 style - like a fly darting around the theme - Brent adds some nice organ fills in places - Phil seems content to keep a beat of sorts and let Jerry drive. Bob adds some nice echoey chords. | |

A- | Glassberg - this show doesn't stand up as well as my first listen would indicate. First set starts strong with Sugaree but then it seems to drag - maybe the song selection overlaps poorly with my favories. The China/Rider breakout, highly prasied in the Compendium just doesn't seem that epic after listening to zillions of other nights. Maybe it meant something for the people there but the buzz from this tape didn't meet the build up of the Compendium review. | |

A | fob - very nice sound on this one! The Halfstep > Franklin's is really nice with a great build up at the end of Franklin's. The rest of set 1 is more or less standard until the Lazy > Supplication which is close to being off the hook! It got my feet tapping! Some silent gaps between songs. The Estimated > Eyes combo shows Garcia in a great jamming mood, Estimated has a very nice quiet groove and Eyes has him dancin in his characteristic fast strumming/picking fashion. Brent stays on and jams with the drummers. This makes a nice bride into the drums segment. The Space out of drums is VERY COOL, using reverb and echo and the room reverberations which smoothly flows into a textbook Black Peter. The weak point for me is the Miracle > Bertha >Lovin set 2 closing sequence. This triad was played too often so it comes across when I hear it as rote. Also, Miracle has never touched me in any meaningful way so I'm bummed when it is played. The flip side is Bertha is always a relief so my fondest for it has increased as it marked relief from Miracle's yelling into a bouncy musical song that flows naturally. The Good Lovin' ends the set on an energetic flow. No encore because Brent wasn't feeling well or at least that was what was said! This is a great sounding FOB and the show is a great listen. If you are looking for an unknown gem I'd say you should get the source and give it a listen. | |

B+ | aud I guess (deadlists indicates no sbd for this data). - mix at start has Garcia low so must have been on the PA if this is an aud. BEW struck me as a good version (and this isn't a tune I look forward to). Set 2 below average except for the Truckin' > Round which has a Spoonful like jam that morphs into another themed jam whose name I don't know. These two songs worth hearing. However, the rest of the show is forgetable. | |

B+ | sbd - noticeable hiss though mix is ok. TC review accurate - basically a boring show, Bob's slide makes Minglewood a tough listen. The PITB jam is noodly and uninteresting, continued by the drums and end of the show. I'd look elsewhere in 79 before listening to this again. Noteworthy that Lost Ailor and Althea were introduced at this show. | |

B+ | naks - swirly sound quality for Promised Land. Also a bit "back" so there is some hall echo and some crowd. Set 1 highlights - Peggy-O. Rest typical. Super funky Shakedown to start set 2 worth hearing. Background beat allows some interesting lead runs by Jerrry, Brent and Phil, with some good call and answer duets. GSET communicates some energy. The Estimated > Eyes is typical. The NFA out of drums is a good version with some good Garcia fanning followed by some fuzz tone leads. The reviews of this show ranked it lower than how I would rate it. Overall - The Shakedown and the tasty Garcia leads in NFA and other places suggest you should check out set 2 at least. The aud is a solid B to B+ in quality. | |

Set 2 is condensed (maybe they had a curfew) with a Scarlet > Fire > Drums etc... Its typical 79 with a Rat > Miracle > Bertha > Lovin to wind up the show.

Listenable but a notch below the better auds of this time. Set 1 song choice and performance average. Set 2 has an ok China > Rider, and a LLR before settling down to the night's main jam song, He'Gone. The jam is good with teases of TOO which never appears in favor of drums. The Rat > Round fill out the time for the rest of the set. Shakedown is the encore, unusual for this slot. Its not an exciting version.

He's Gone has a little jam before the drums segment that hints of TOO but never goes there. Out of drums there is a space jam that again is quiet and atonal with occasional "space ship taking off" sounds. The remainder of set 2 is uneventful. The Shakedown encore is long and funky. | |

Set 2 starts with 4 great 79 songs, Scarlet > Fire and Estimated > Eyes. All 4 are great. The aft end of set 2 is standard for 79, a Peter >Miracle > Bertha >Lovin. These are well practised this year so I don't get that excited about them. The energy ;level of this show is up there and each set has extended blocks of music with good flow and playing.

Madison Square Garden - New York,

A- | sbd - I listened to this near the end of my 79 binge. Unlike the review in the TC that disses the first set, I liked it for its mix of not so commonly played Garcia tunes. Dire Wolf, BEW, Its All Over Now and DEMI. Garcia's playing was fun though I wouldn't cal it transcendental. The set closes with a rockin' Sailor > Saint. The China > Rider to open set 2 is ok, but the rest are uneventful until PITB where again Garcia is doing some very interesting leads. There is a motorcycle sound in the Drums section. This is a slightly above average 79 show with a good sbd mix. The NFA is very good (see my reveiw of the aud) and the Stella Blue comes across very well on this sbd. Summary - This is a better show than desribed in the TC. Jerry's playing is strong throughout. Worth hearing. | |

A- | Rolfe aud - sound not as good as other recordings of Steve (may be the hall). Solid show but I wouldn't rate this as a top 10 79 show. It is a pleasant listen none the less. [2005-08-20] Update. I changed my opinion of both the show and the recording. The sound is very good for an aud and the show is on the "must hear" list for 79. Set 1 is solidly played but it is set 2 that makes this a should hear show. The Scarlet > Fire, Smason trifecta gets thing soff to a rocking start and are very good versions. The pace slows with a nice Terrapin that seques into a short but still upbeat jammed PITB. The jam out of drums on the aud comes across well with the hall resonances. The Rat > PITB makes for a set without any time filling tunes. This is one I suggest you check out. | |

A- | aud jools - I don't know who recorded this aud but its very good (Steve Rolfe?). No major flaws. And its a good show. The show doesn't have a Brent tune in it which can be a momentum breaker for me. Set 1 begins with DEMI which wasn't in constant rotation in 79. Set 1 is fun and competently played. Set 2 has a good but not over the top Shakedown with a reasonable jam. Passenger is hot and the FOTD in set 2 is a pleasnt pace changer. The Estimated > Eyes is a strong version with good jamming for each tune intheir respective styles. The Space into drums has some good Phil. The drums seemed short (or cut on the tape). The second half is typical well played 79 version of Stella, Good Lovin' and a US Blues encore. I like this show. It is missing some over the top song to make it a strong show outside of 79. | |

A- | set 1 is from the Rolfe aud - see previous review. set 2 is a sbd which confirms what I thought of the show from the aud. The Phil bombs into drums come across more on the sbd and they might be a little distorted from overload. The sbd mix and sound is very good. | |

A/B | rolfe - sound quality a tab below the typical Rolfe recording - sounds that he was a ways back so he picked up more room reverb, or maybe it was the hall. Set 1 is well played typical 79. Ste 2 is given lots of attention and starts with a good Dancin' -> Franklin's Tower,. The He's Gone-> Caution (Do Not Stop on Tracks) Jam-> The Other One-> is what gives this show its positive reputation. The bass intro to TOO is very forceful. The Caution jam is not as good as the one in Nassau in 81. Drums seemed uneventful but the Not Fade Away is tight, infectious without much wankery. The rest is strong but typical 79 playing. A fun show and a good but not great aud recording worthy to hear the crowd reaction to the pre-drums set2. | |

A- | sbd via Charlie Miller w/ Stagger Lee fixed. Good sound. This show is overrated if I go by the review in the TC. I like the Anchorage 80 and Nassua 81 TOO's better for the "Caution jams" and there are better intro's to TOO as well, specifically the teasing intro for 2/3/79. Nevertheless, above average for 79 and should be heard. | |

A/B | patched sbd - standard good mix. Last part of show, including the main set 2 jam, is from the rolfe(?) aud. Set 1 - Nice mix of songs with some out of the gate jamming on a Half-step > Franklin's. TMNS to end the set was energetic. Set 2 - Starts rocky with China > Rider, Samson. These are typical versions. Ship of Fools was an above average version with excellent Garcia emotion. The PITB is an above average version, with a 76-ish feel to it (sort of off beat and angular). The Stella Blue fills in the ballad slot and the whole set is capped off with a high energy, crowd on their feet clapping raise the roof creshendo. Add in a standard US Blues and its a feel good show. Above average for 79. This is really a sbd/aud composite since the main section of set 2 is from the aud. | |

A- | sbd - it is claimed there is an upgrade available. Nevertheless, this a good sounding, nicely mixed board. The playing and sound selection is above average but missing a transportational or killer jam that would push this into the "must hear" category. Set 2 starts with a Scarlet > Fire, Samson triplet which are all well played but all middle of the road versions. The review in the TC is accurate. Scarlet and the PITB later in the show are noddle jam based. The Space section is "spacey" and the rest of set 2 is standard boilerplate (Peter > Good Lovin, US Blues). The consistency of the show warrants my A- rating. | |

A- | sbd - Sound and mix is very good. Set 1 has great ensemble playing with the song selection sampling many styles and done in an upbeat but relaxed manner. Garcia's voice is good. Though the jamming is not that extended except for Franklin's, this would make a good disk to introduce someone to the gd who is unfamiliar with their style of improvisation. Set 2 is standard 79 except for the Jam into and out of drums which isn't formulaic and features some good riffs by Brent. I hesitate to give this a must hear rating on the basis of the tune selection in set 2. | |

A- | aud - schissel. This is a good aud tape. Set 1 comes across nicely with the Mississippi > Franklin's opener with a nice jam in Franklin's. Its a short set but the rest of teh songs are excellent and to the point for what they are. A good snapshot of the band at this time. Set 2 starts with the often played Miracle > Bertha I'm not a fan of Miracle. If anything, it shows what a great song Bertha is in contrast. Mircale seems to screechy to me. The catch here is that instead of Lovin it goes into Lost Sailor so the pace slows down. On the aud tape the drums has been cut out so the jam out of Saint and into NFA is more or less continuous. Listening to this aud I changed my mind. I'd say this is a must hear show. The jam out of Saint has some very nice bass and Brent work and the NFA has a nice themed jam in the middle whose name I don't know. The rest of the show wraps up more or less as expected but the bookend jams around the drums segment are quite good and worth searching out. | |

I'd put this performance a bit above average for fall 79. Its a good listen but not an immediate repeat listen if you get my meaning. | |

A- | sbd - some mix issues on the first tune, but by TLEO things are sounding good. The rest of the first set are competent, solid renditions typical for fall 79. Set 2 starts with the first performance of Alabama Getaway. The jam section of set 2 is atypical for this period. It features an Estimated > Gone > Space/Drums > TOO > Rat sequence, unusual because Estimated > Eyes was the default for this era. The jamming in He's Gone is "mental/intellectual" and works well if you want to sit down and listen. Its quiet, slower paced, sort of the opposite of a Caution jam. Many interesting sounds. I would suggest this be on the "must hear once list" simply because it is NOT danceable but is still engaging. The sound features Phil nicely as well as the bass organ/synth chords. | |

Set 2 debuts Alabama Getaway-> GSET The jam is Estimated -> He's Gone->
Jam (caution esque morphing to abstract dissonant). Standard delivery of post drums segment of Space-> TOO -> Wharf Rat-> Around

A/B | sbd w/ wier fix - Set 1 is standard for this tour, songs consistently well played. The mix is a bit unbalanced at times (some instruments and voices low or missing) but overall acceptable. Set 2 has the somewhat unusual ordering of Eyes > Estimated > Franklin's. The transition into Franklin's is direct. Each song is jammed typically for this era. There are some cool bass notes by Lesh out of space, but the rest of the show are pro-forma renditions. Another solid show played in typical style for this period without exceptional high moments making this specially worth seeking out. | |

A- | Set 2 sbd - [2005-09-23] The sound quality on this is very good with a nice mix and plenty of Phil. The set statrs with two sort of throwaway songs (ALthea, Easy To Love You). Then there is a strong Eyes > Estimate > Franklin's which not only mixes up the usual order of tunes bu is jammed out for almost one hour. The other nice things is that the aft end of set 2 has a Sailor > Saint which I prefer vs the overplayed in 79 Miracle > Bertha > Lovin'. | |

A- | Recording by Joel Barnehama:
Master Audience Cassette; 2 Sennheiser 421s + Sennheiser 441> Nakamichi 550 [2007-05-06] Nice snapshot of Fall 79. Set 1 starts with a C>R, Cassidy's jam is maturing nicely. TMNS to end leaves the crowd buzzed. Set 2 has the reversed Eyes -> Estimated -> Franklin's -> Jam-> and the ballad slot is held by a Bobby trifecta here with a Sailor-> Saint -> Sugar Magnolia. The Sugar Magnolia similar to TMNS that buzzes the crowd with a repetitive refrain. Good sound quality but the spectrum is large so it does sound further back than the smaller venues of this era - no distracting crowd. | |

A- | sbd - sound is full and the mix is good. You won't have a problem with the bass notes on this one! Set 1 plods along until they pick up the energy with a stong Jack Straw/ Deal closing combo. Though Candyman was good. Set 2 has a standard 79 Terrapin > PITB but there is some nice synth/bass work going into drums. The aft end is nice because the Good Lovin isn't part of the rote Miracle > Bertha > Lovin combo so after listening to a bunch of 79's it was a nice change. Set 2 overall is a nice single disk which has continuous flow and some good moments. I'd rank this about 75% toward the top for 79. | |

A- | sbd - litfin complete sbd. Set 1 Stagger Lee degraded by Bob's slide. Nothing eventful, somewhat pedestrian. C> R and Deal were best but even these are average performances. Set 2 Sacrlet > Fire I thought was ok. Jam after Saint mostly noodly. Saint almost comes to a full stop. NFA starts promising but cuts short and the Dew (only one of 1979?) isn't very good to salvage the set. Sound mix is good but an average show at best. | |

A- | sbd - sound quality and mix is good.. Set 1 - nothing noteworthy. Set 2 has good but not exceptional Dancin > Franklin's and Estimated to start off. The He's Gone Jam has the beginnings of what I would call a Caution jam that mutates into a Gloria jam (at least by Bob and the drummers). It is ok but nothing mindblowingly good. The remaineder of the show is standard 79 "another day at the office" versions. | |

The songs are competently performed but not outstanding. There is a feel that the band is playing by rote. Phil tries a thumping intro to NFA. Overall, I never found myself getting into this performance. Pleasant background music. | |

Set 2 pre-drums is on the must hear list for this year. TMNSP > Sugaree is unusual as a set opener and the ensemble playing is good. The Estimated > Eyes, though a standard pairing is agains well jammed in engaging ways. The Space out of Drums has Brent doing some interesting synth. NFA and Black Peter maintain the flow and playing quality. Good Lovin' and US Blues are standard. | |

A- | sbd (Miller upgrade). Sound quality and mix are very good. Set 1 is well played without any version worthy of special mention. Many of these shows with Brent in fall 79 show that Garcia is clearly paying attention so his guitar work is nice and ensemble focused. Shakedown starts set 2 and is thoughtfully played (i.e. not as funky as it will become). He's Gone dispatched early for a nice TOO. Remaining set 2 songs are well played but not exceptional for any jamming. Overall, a professional show but not a special one. | |

Transfer and encoding by David Minches [2007-02-12] Some volume adjustments but a nice tape without any nearby distracting crowd. Some high energy songs include TMNSP, and a C>R to open set 2. The He's Gone > Gloria Jam > CC Rider > Drums > NFA is played in the 79 style and features Brent stepping up to improvise with Jerry. I liked this show more when listening to the auds for the hall ambiance. | |

A- | sbd miller - Very nice mix and sound. Set 1 starts well played but ends stongly with inspired playing by Garcia on Lazy Lightning-> Supplication, Althea, The Music Never Stopped. Set 2 begins where set 1 left off with stong Scarlet > Fire and Samson. The remainder is quite strong, though nothing stood out worthy of special notice. I would rate this as a "should hear" show of 79 for the consistentplaying, good song selection, and nice mix. A few cuts. | |

A/B | sbd - some minor static, but a good mix and sound otherwise. Set 1 is typical of late 79, with the somewhat unusual Passenger > Deal closer (2 high energy tunes to close the set). The China > Rider is "mellow". The Estimated > Franklin's is a change from the more commonly played Estimated >Eyes. There is a nice jam at the end of Franklin's which is centered loosely on the Franklin's theme. If you like improvisation you should probably try to listen to this at some time. Drums to the end is standard to my ears. If there was not the Franklin's jam this night I would rate this as a solid, but not special show. | |

A/B | Set 2 sbd, almost complete. There are cuts/skips in Shakedown and TOO, the latter especially annoying since it disrupts the momentum. This is one of the top dates from 79 for uniform playing both sets. See my review of the aud source for details. The mix on this board is good, but the cuts should bring the rating down a bit. | |

A | Aud - WOW! This is a great aud and a great show. I listened to this at the end of my 79 blitz and despite my acclimation to 79, this one came across with a freshness. Sound is great, with Phil's bass in your face from the start. The show is also very solid for both sets. Set 1 starts with lots of energy with an Alabama > GSET. Dire Wolf, CR&S are nice Garcia tunes that aren't overly played on this tour. The set closing Althea > Sailor > Saint leaves the audience jazzed for set 2. Set 2 starts with a really funky and jammed Shakedown that segues into Samson. This maintains the energy level (many times Shakedown was performed standalone). Sip gives the crowd and band time to recoup their energy. Bobby announces before He's Gone that its sort of a slow song but it won't be that way forever. The He's Gone > TOO > Jam is great. The aft end of set 2 with Space > Peter > Miracle > Bertha > Lovin' is a common song selection but well played. The double encore of JBG and DEMI are missing from this tape. Recommendation - this is worth a listen. One of the top shows of 1979. | |

No version of any song in set 1 worth hearing. Maybe Eyes and Wharf Rat from set 2 but that's as charitable as I can be. The aud I didn't like and this sbd says maybe its the show.

Set list is a bit unusual in song selection and set 1 has some extended segues with only a few breaks between songs.

A- | sbd - great mix if you like Phil and Brent! Set 1 is a bit short as there seem to be some equipment issues. There is some funny chat while they are waiting for things to get fixed like "If we were to play a song, what would it be?" Good playing and lots of energy starting with a Jack Straw and ending with a China > Rider. Set 2 begins with a Shakedown / Samson combo. Shakedown isn't jammed out. Terrapin is standard but instead of the usual PITB they go into Lost Sailor which maintains the relaxed melodic flow. Lost Sailor comes to a more or less complete stop then Brent starts the Saint theme on the keyboards and the others join in. After finishing Sait they go into a jam based on the Estimated theme, which ends again with Brent doing some good keyboard with theh drummers. After a short drums the remaining show is good but standard NFA > Peter > Sugar, with a double encore of Alabama > Promised. This is a very good board of a strng show which should be on the list of shows to hear from 79. | |

A- | sbd w/ aud patches [2007-02-25] This show was an early DP release. Around Nov 2006, this was circulated on a bit torrent site. Apparently, the sbd for this date was available before the DP release but closely held. This performance is on my must hear 79 list and attests to Dick's picking an interesting show - besides being an excellent performance, it has a somewhat unusual mix of tunes - CR&S to start the show and UJB breakout to start and end set 2. The info file states an unknown aud was used to supply the first two songs missing from set 1 but the remaining patches were provided by the Rolfe aud I seeded. I don't know that the 1st two songs are from a different aud than the Rolfe or whether that is how it came to the person who then added patches from the known Rolfe aud. I'd recommend that you get the DP's for this date to support that series. | |

A- | sbd - Sound quality and mix are good and balanced. Set 1 starts and ends well with a Sugaree and a TMNS. Set 2 pre drums is uniformly good with a nice flow, beginning with Alabama > GSET. Garcia seems alert and playing well throughout the set. Terrapin is performed in the standard 79 manner. The jam portion is PITB which has what sounds like a brief "All Along the Watchtower" motif. Lots of interesting work with Brent/Jerry et. al. as they fade into the drums segment. This portion has some deep bass notes and organ chords which are fun to hear. The space out of drums has TOO hints but goes into UJB (played 3 times this 4 night run). The Miracle > Bertha > Lovin is standard but played with energy. This 3-song group was just overplayed too much this year so I don't pay too much attention to it. The double encore of Casey/OMSN (all nights this run had double encores) finishes off a well played show that fits nicely on 2 disks. | |

A/B | sbd - sound and mix are good. There is a poorly executed aud splice at end of deal (no crossfade and a gap). Set 1 sort of sleepy. Set 2 has a nice Scarlet > Fire with the best part the fuzz tone at the outro jam of Franklin's. The Let It Grow is not common in 79 and is a nice change of pace to have Garcia jam on that theme. It sort of gets a bit abstract and spacey as the jam into drums. Again, a good pace change. Truckin' is spliced from the aud (and again the splices are not cross faded with a small gap). The aft end of set 2 is standard (Around and Around has tape speed problems in a few places). The double encore was done to make up for a somewhat short set 2? Brokedown is warm. Overall - listen to the Let It Gow spacey jam and if that doesn't excite you, skip this one. Sound ratings a tad low for the poor splices and some variable pitch. | |

A/B | SBD w/ patches - I prefer the aud. The pitch on this seems fast (at least on set 1) and its missing the NYE countdown on set 2. Though the vocals are better, Phil isn't mixed up on this sbd so overall, the buzz from the audience makes this show come across better. The sbd doesn't change my view of the show - set 1 and 2 are good but set 3 loses the momentum and doesn't deliver a killer jam portion that one would like to rate this a must hear show. So sound = A/B because of the pitch and missing NYE countdown. SHow = A/B for a weaker than hoped set 3. | |

A- | Rolfe aud - another excellent audience tape. Full sound. Ok its NYE so the crowd is in a party mood. Show starts with an up energy Straw > Franklin's, followed by a mix of normal set 1 tunes played this year, and concluding with the standard coupling rousing Alabama > Promised. Set 2 begins with the midnight Sugar Mag which segues into a nice China > Rider to keep the energy at a high level. The rest of the set is very solid, though nothing extraordinary. Set 3 starts off slow with an average Althea. The UJB is an improvement but the only highlight is teh Lesh/Cippolina interaction when NFA is started after Space. Otherwise set 3 is the weakest of the night. Overall, great solid, first two sets good but the jam portion of the show sleepy or non-existent. | |

This is a fairly good show for NYE, a nice close to an excellent run of shows. I wouldn't put it in the top 25% of 79 shows, it just seems to lack something... | |
