Eyes Of The World
Feb. 26, 1977
Swing Auditorium

The dopeness of this is the Lesh/Rhythm Devils/sprinkles of Keith outro jam, which builds a great head of steam, flawlessly landing into a romping Dancin'. The main jam is clicking, everything falling together just exactly perfect.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Nov. 6, 1977
Broome County Arena

Fantastic pacing in this one. I got lost (in the best possible way) in the ethereal spaciness coming out of Scarlett and the Fire delivers in all the ways that you know it should. Easily on the same shelf, if not higher, than many of the oft-lauded May '77 versions
Sugaree
Feb. 26, 1977
Swing Auditorium

This Sugaree is like the little engine that could. Completely overshadowed by what can be easily considered one of the best first sets of all time. I overlooked this almost utterly until the new Dave's release and find myself continually going back to it. Not the longest version, but what is there is stunning. Jerry is completely locked in. One of my new favorites. Dave is continually on a roll with his picks, giving the people what they WANT!
Terrapin Station

Swing Auditorium

Sure, this is knocked WAY out of the park on it's first play. It's beautiful, flowing, and note perfect. And it was a historically bold move to open a show/tour/usher in a tremendous year with a brand new multi-faceted song like this. However, this being rated as highly as it is, to me, makes no sense at all. Landover and Knick Spring '90 anyone? To me, it it's not even close. No offense to this, it is lovely beyond words, it just hasn't developed enough like some of the latter iterations.

I really dug this 30 days installment. Great Jerry/Bobby/Brent interplay. Boys threw down nice Bird Songs in Hartford
