13558 the energy in the first set is unbelievable, probably best first set of '77. crowd is in such a mood, great to hear. unfortunately this recording is pretty poor. i've been actively seeking for the past three years to find another source but it hasn't happened yet. this is the only source i come across time and again. theres a major source change in the middle of bertha, its a shame. still worth the d/l though, at least the first set. great show, not so great recording fleezer 2004-05-22 16:54:12 2004-05-22 16:54:12 3 33459 Very short pre-turn break by Garcia. Post-turn, pretty fluent and driving. He starts a trill at 5:27 but quickly backs off into single note soloing. By the 6 minute mark, it's done. Not quite the tour de force this tune became.

I only wish some of the AUDs from the late 80s sounded this good. Yes, lots of Phil and room presence leads to some "indistinctness" in the lower freqs, but the mix is wonderfully even here, and you can pick out out everything from Phil's lines to the hi-hats and cow-bells, very distinctly. Definitely heard a lot worse. Very nice AUD gonzoc 2005-05-26 19:03:33 2005-05-26 19:03:33 4 42275 If you like other Jerry Moore AUDs (his 11-4-77 is one of my all-time favorites), you'll like this one.

Two words: BETTY BOARD! 'Nuff said. Oh, and there are 3 bonus tracks from 4/29, which were not on my previous source for that show, either. All in all, a DAMN strong first release for GD digital downloads.

Yeah, it could be better, but this still happens to be an amazing show with a pretty good source. Not too bad... amichels 2006-04-15 14:49:46 2006-04-15 14:49:46 4 after last night's show, i'm totally @#!%ing stoked for tonight!!! the place is vibrating in anticipation...no st. stephen yet this tour... seems like the first set is one of the past few nights, only played backwards, but the music plays the band and the double opener has me dancing like there's no tomorrow. and i'm still a hopeless fool for it's all over now, particularly when it's as dagnasty as this one! a concise little cowboy sequence, a few love songs and a fine half-step later we hit the promised land, a great closer - never, ever long enough it seems, but it leaves us wanting more, more, more! and they then deliver the goods...scarlet gets reunited tonight with its new partner. not as tight as previous nights’ versions, but the merge into good love makes up for it. FOTD is the lay up (that was MY HEAD you broke, bob!) before another solid, but not as trippy as the last two nights, estimated. and then it’s decision time , and yeah, we know how it is, bobby…and then BAM! the st. stephen debut leads the way through a ferocious back end of the set with last night’s jam-only NFA picking back up into a righteously nasty vocal version, lays down a sweet stella blue before completing sammich. one more saturday night is a great closer, hot dam! terrapin is a mighty sweet and much-needed encore. i'm going to go wander downtown and try to get my space together before tomorrow night. **** no wonder this got released by gdp...so f***ing sweet. and you don't stop...

Fabulous set list, but don't waste your time. Any other version of this anywhere? I NEED this Music Never Stopped.... Puhlease serpentbox 2008-07-03 15:38:56 2008-07-03 15:38:56 1 this is a really good show. for those who don't know, the soundboard is available for purchase - it's Download Series Volume 1 and you can get it at the dead web site (or ITunes). :) available GennyBenni 2009-04-01 22:42:13 2009-04-01 22:42:13 4 catchers mitt? fish tank? how spoiled have we gotten over the years, i would have loved to have had this show back in the day on tape. sure it not one for a set of head phone cranked up, but get a decent sound system with a sub woofer and then crank it up, open the windows and get out in the beautiful spring day! i'll give it five stars just to offset wasting time guy. it would be more like a 4.35 on my scale but the one star should offset it just right. ahhh thirty two years ago in the spring, i love the dead in the spring! not wasting time enjoying spring dead hampton87 2009-04-30 15:49:02 2009-04-30 15:49:02 5 12 3.75
