Great second set version after a 45 minute jam and emotive China Doll.

Major screw-up of the lyrics here, Pig tries to make up for it and then Jerry just steals the show. I can dig.

Great transition out of Mama Tried! Real cool little western pair in the middle of a fantastic first set

New Minglewood Blues

Broome County Arena

After hearing Keith go off in a song like this, I will never understand why he isn't more universally loved by the Dead community. He is the best (and this isn't even a great example of how awesome his sound is!)
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo

Broome County Arena

I would describe this one as majestic. Jerry's guitar is just floating so effortlessly in this one and it is wonderful to hear. Compared to 9/3 and even the night before, this one is much lighter and I love it just as much as those two. '77 is the year of the Half-Step!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

The Spectrum

Are you effing kidding me this China Rider is incredible in every way. First time hearing it as I just bought Dave’s picks 32 and this might be my favorite of all time....

Prefer this version to the one the night before but both are fantastic in their own ways!

This version is so sweet. Love the '77 Candyman
