Comes out of a magical Mardi Gras parade. The band's on point. Good energy. They do flop the ending chant lol. I blame Healy's obnoxious messin around

Good vocals and searing, sharp guitar work from Garcia. Bobby's on point. Said it, say it again. I love '87 Dead. Good jump into Throwing Stones

Obnoxiously heavy keys, but it's okay. Nothing can take away the joy I feel from hearing Garcia sing this song. Solid one.

Much, much agreed^^ skipping a lot of '77 performances of TOO is to miss a lot of real gold. They aren't as fleshed out as they were in earlier years at this point, but they are really special.

After all these years, I still haven't been able to figure out what's that droning sound that whirs in and out lowly throughout the early versions, particularly this one. Is that Bob? Jerry? Sounds much more like Bob's style. Any help?

God, I miss the first time I heard this. I couldn't believe how much atmosphere had been captured in this. Haunting performance. Dreadful, almost.
