Most rockin' version I know. The boys sound big and tight throughout this wonderful show.

Really tight and uptempo. Jerry sings through a cold, but energetic and inspired guitar work. Perfect transition into Rider.

Playin' In The Band

Auditorium Theatre

Complex and experimental around a Stephen>Wheel sandwich. Starts and ends in wild exhuberance, but has lots of spacebugs and dinosaurs in between.

Was this the first Wheel ever? It rolls just so sweetly - not very long, but quite perfect

Very tight, uptempo and deeply grooving. Check out Seamons' matrix for right tape speed. Even Donna's contributino is solid on this one.

Beautiful harmonies. Some of the New Riders were there for it.

Good call: I'm much more of a '60s and '70s Head, but this show just bursts out. I always loved this song when I got to hear it in concert, so I'm happy to see it up here - on the same day that I'm listening to this concert for the first time in years. Reminds me why I loved the Dead during Brent's time, too.

Top choice grade A. Tight and right. I keep coming back when I need my '77 fix. May also be the single most insane show opener ever.

Help us C. Miller! This show deserves a cleanup! Oops (later the same day), I mean THANK YOU, Charlie Miller. Your cleanup is much appreciated. Skip the other version heads.
