Segues gorgeously out of a raggedly beautiful Stella. Set closer.

Oddly dreamy and mellow. What it lacks in urgency in the coda, it makes up for in the jam out into drums...

Terrific jamming into fast-rocking Promised Land. First set opener. Great show.

The Dead prevail! is probably how I should say it, though, since I don’t even know if it’s a technical failure….. could have been a failure of Jerry’s brain, forgetting the words after 3 years! Either way, this is a rare, fun beast of a return!

Jammiest CJ ever! When mics fail, Jerry will prevail!! (See 2/5/78 Samson, etc….)

Opens in reverse, yep, with the rocking sense of urgency we usually find in the coda, one of the best pieces of music ever, and it's just a fulcrum for one of the all-time-grate jams (Estimated-Terrapin-Playin-UJB-Drmz-Wheel-China Doll-Playin), a sequence most Prog Rock bands wish they could come close to after years in a studio, and the Dead just did it night after night on stage with little-to-no preparation, creating masterful works of art like it really was no big deal, improvisational masterpieces..... And the Wheel-China Doll is exquisite!!

Best? Maybe. Super fluid and rocking, the usual May of '77 grateness......
