Still brand new. This just pops and crackles with energy. Great fun.

Not for audiophobes, cause it's like 10th-gen Maxell 120s, but every bit the '71 CR&S sound I love. Beneath the fuzz is a beauty.

Tectonic jamming shifting out of WR back into Playin' of intricate interplay and staggering beauty.

Ripped out of future spacetime and unlike any other from the era. Sounds like they invented MIDI right on stage. Minds forever blown, I'm sure.

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.
