12 minutes of '77 magic from an under rated show

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

Philadelphia Civic Arena

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

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

When given a chance and a suitable song Donna could sing just fine. Listen to her in the 1976 shows. Bobby and her don't try and rock it out by shrieking and the band really swings along. This whole show is superb.

Brilliant show-easily missed in a month of great shows. This is every bit as good as those dates around it and stands up to the famous 7/8/9/ May shows.
Deal

Baltimore Civic Center

In there to be one of the best of Spring '77 tour. Top 3 IMO and Deal is one of my faves.

Agreed. This whole show is actually Very Good. Tight(as you'd expect from May '77) good vocals, some stellar soloing and great support work. The whole band is on, singing,playing-even remembering the words!!!! Try and give the whole show a whirl- 3 hours will be well spent.

I think that this show is in the top 3 for this tour. With the night before Possibly the best 2 nights(and that includes the much overrated Barton hall show on the 8th) of 1977. Also, was there ever another time when there was 4 Jerry tunes in a row?
