Big River
High energy opener to an epic 2nd set that is hot!! Jerry is ripping and the band is super tight this night!

Samson and Delilah
Ripping start to the second set. Bobby kills it. Sweet Sampson>Bertha>Good Lovin' to get things going!

Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Absolutely sick build up immediately after the rio grandeo lyrics
35
Looks Like Rain
Heady heights hit here by all parties...Donna really stepped it up for Tuscaloosa
25
Estimated Prophet
Pure mind-expanding insanity, slightly sinister and tight in its off-kilter odd-metered way. Cool organ sounds from Keith. Well-rounded May, '77 show.

Playin' In The Band
Tiptoes on silk spiderwebs across a silent field of pure cosmos. Won't blow you into pieces, but will free your head from this mere terrestial plane.

They Love Each Other
Is there anything prettier, sweeter or more sublimely lovely than Keith's piano in this version? You decide. This TLEO is incredible.

Brown Eyed Women
Gotta check out the "small" songs in legendary shows like this as well as the usual suspects! Check out Jerry's utterly perfect bridge jam & be in awe

El Paso
Everything was played to perfection this evening, including this El Paso. This song just adds to the great flow of this maybe best show of 1977.

Sugar Magnolia
How is this not on here. This thing is smokin. How did they have the energy for this encore after this epic show. Also, good cow bell in mix.
