Deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as the other punchy, galloping ’77s.

Alexandra Palace

If you’re like me, you love the intensity of these ’74 Jack Straws. This one is not to be missed.

Swinging funk akin to a ’73 TLEO. Different and sharply played.

Uptown Theatre

Jerry’s playing with amazing ease and fluidity. One shimmering melody after another.

Boston Garden

Played fast, sounding almost triumphant. Very cleanly played with some attention-grabbing Jerry.

Nassau Coliseum

As clean and polished a version as I've heard, from any era.
Easy To Love You

Nassau Coliseum

Not my favorite song, but there's something pretty special about this crisp and confident version. Nice!
Looks Like Rain

Memorial Coliseum

Just incredible. This very creative, spontaneous version has any energy of its own.
New Minglewood Blues
May 17, 1977
Memorial Coliseum

Feisty version from a feisty show. Tuscaloosa is the fall '77-type show of spring '77.
Sugaree

The Omni

A very strong, well-jammed version for the era.
