Dick's Picks, Vol. 32. One of my favorite versions of the '80s.

Absolutely demented bulidup and jam + a killer Phil solo segment

Can't believe this isn't here!! Possibly the most epic 1970s LLR!!!!

Just a stunning ensemble effort...Jerry's complimentary playing duing the verses is breathtaking!

Let It Grow

Cotterell Gym - Colgate University

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.

Legendary!

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!!

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