12 minutes of '77 magic from an under rated show

Ship of Fools
July 14, 1976
Orpheum Theatre

Sweet Jerry vocals. A delicate ship setting sail into the post 1974 seas. Good harmonies from Bob and Donna. An overlooked show from an overlooked yea

Deal
Aug. 5, 1974
Philadelphia Civic Arena

One of best of 1974. Tight, Jerry inventive and confident, good soloing. Everything a Deal should be. Give it a listen.

New Haven Coliseum

Nice Keith solo at the end to end a superb show from start to end.

Row Jimmy

Comes out of a MLB jam, a big fat mellow groove sets out what is one of those weeks of really good versions.

Ripple
Sept. 20, 1970
Fillmore East

Thank you so much for leading me here. What a beautiful performance. I want this played at my funeral.
Doin' That Rag
Feb. 22, 1969
Dream Bowl

A 5star+ show. I think one of the very best of 1969.
Deal
Nov. 16, 1978
Uptown Theater

they kinda get out of step during the first solo, Jerry flubs the lyrics(it's Deal for chrissakes) 22 April 78 or March 1981 streets better for post 76 Deals.
Truckin'
Nov. 5, 1977
Community War Memorial Auditorium

is this the correct date? IA doesn't show Truckin' being played this night.
Bird Song
Aug. 25, 1972
Berkeley Community Theatre

Just a wee note-in light of the solution to the Betty Tapes saga and Dave and the gang now having them in the vaults- I understand that these Berkley shows are among the haul. Maybe a nice box set for next year?
