Bobby throws a little bit more chaw into this one. It's full of spit and loads of fun. Great first set all around.

A blissful, soaring example of GD ensemble playing. Starts just a bit loose, but by the out chorus it's just amazing.

Sweet version here. Everyone is just exactly perfect.

Remarkable part of one of the rare hour + extended jams, great transitions in and out of it and a heartfelt beauty on its own.

Phil rips this one wide open with a brilliant countersolo to Jerry's brilliancies and whirlygigs. Strong version here.

Sweet treat indeed. Jerry's voice is perfectly rescued in the C.Miller upgrade, and the band is a graceful waterfall behind him.

Nice angular sparkle to the whole jam here.

Hot streak. This and the NMB before it just come ready to party. We know in retrospect the wall-to-wall peaks from April-May '77 but can you put yourself in the scene and imagine thinking... what the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck just happened? Weren't these guys mellow just a few months ago?
Not Fade Away
April 23, 1977
Springfield Civic Center
Kieth continues his visit from the future experimenting with synthnoise settings that could have easily been from the ten years later. Set's a cool groove with what sounds like a Moog/DX7 and Hammond Organ rig around 5 minutes in while Jerry and Bobby are slowly boiling everybody's brains for what must have been a long strange trip to round out the set.

This one really deserves its spot on the front page, even for a a song played 300 times more or less over the years. Like much of this show it seems tentative at times but of a sudden turns just colossally confident. The oomph that everyone mentions is real, and they orchestrate the highs and lows to perfection.
