They come charging out of the gate to open a great, maybe underrated Texas tour. Great opener.

If you can get past some severe tape wobble and speed issues, the mix is oddly clear and Jerry's ideas are just off the chain. Completists only.

A short but fascinating star, starts way out, filled with melodicism and beauty, almost yearns for the TOO>MAMU to emerge out of it. Give it a chance.

Jerry's Strat sound is so perfect here. This whole show (and the 6th) highlight the sound of this era perfectly.

They're having a great time here, you can tell. Even the monitor problems are the source of fun.

Beautiful harmonies. Some of the New Riders were there for it.

Good call: I'm much more of a '60s and '70s Head, but this show just bursts out. I always loved this song when I got to hear it in concert, so I'm happy to see it up here - on the same day that I'm listening to this concert for the first time in years. Reminds me why I loved the Dead during Brent's time, too.

Top choice grade A. Tight and right. I keep coming back when I need my '77 fix. May also be the single most insane show opener ever.

Help us C. Miller! This show deserves a cleanup! Oops (later the same day), I mean THANK YOU, Charlie Miller. Your cleanup is much appreciated. Skip the other version heads.
