Palais Des Sports

Really dark sounding jam dominated by Phil and Jerry. Some unique, jazzy soloing from Jerry too.

Fast, tight and energetic with really inventive Jerry jams in the trasition. One of the best of '73

Philadelphia Civic Center

Wild, hairy, and at times scary Herbie Hancock-esque jazz in this one. One of the all-time best!!!

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!

Auditorium Theatre

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.
