These "retirement" versions have a cool vibe, this one is my favorite of the two.

Bob muffs the words but all's well that ends well...the unique space-jazz jam out of this one is not to be missed. Such a chill Oregon vibe!

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.
