Estimated Prophet
May 17, 1977
Memorial Coliseum
You can almost take anything from this show and put it on a favorites list. Not surprising, then, that the Estimated is top shelf whiskey. And, to me, May 77 Estimateds are still the mightiest of the lot. The group levitates. And this one still has its own character. + Garcia's completely unleashed before and through the first instrumental break. Just unprecedented guitar playing. Really all the way through the song. Outro = lush heaven. No band sounds or sounded like this.
