Velvety smooth with Jerry and Keith adding some great accents and fills...bridge solo is very nice!

Listed as a 'Space' on the Dick's Pick, but really part of an epic Truckin>Other One jam, this gets really out there!!!

This one almost starts off as a slow burner, but builds into some seriously high energy jamming with lots of epic Garcia trills. Love it!

I am inclined to agree about this show and best of '77 status. IMHO, fall '77 is just as good as the spring.

Definitely surprised by this one. I've written off most versions from '77 as "weak" and lacking in exploration when compared to the monsters of pre-hiatus Dead, but this is absolutely worthy. Amazing spacey jams from Jerry and the boys!!

Utica Memorial Auditorium

Hot, sweaty, blues pouring out of Jerry's guitar, with some really great jamming on the Nobody's Fault theme.
