Music plays Hornsby and band as all are on point and with abundance of energy.

Heading into May '77 on a high note. Extraordinarily locked-in with every member top-shelfing it.

Solid if unspecatcular until last line "Los Angeles, Norfolk..." where Garcia searing vocals then searing guitar! Lesh and crew raging also..

Interesting as sure sounds like violin. Jerry's tone sounds little bit like Robbie Robertson. Phil lots of heady goodness.

Phil and folks hitting it so hard it reminds of the more rampaging versions of Alabama Getaway or Passenger.

Silva Hall, Hult Center

On our own, on our own... Yeah, yeah I know what follo... wait, what's with Jerry's ascending scale and then with Brent, and now whole band is flipping out and truly a scintillating jam takes place!

Shoreline Amphitheatre

Reaallly good version as Weir all kinds of nice backing, Hornsby with daring jazzy contributions and Garcia liquid blues.
Not Fade Away

Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Kinda wish guitarist John Cipollina was given a little more room to operate, but nice to hear him guesting.
