dirty little secret about may 1977…Garcias guitar was frequently out of tune. Most egregiously on the widely revered Cornell show
My favorite scarlet/fire is 2/5/78 Cedar Rapids
I much prefer 78 to 77 in general. If you want to go deep, check out the July 1978 boxed set

Pretty rippin second set

All those may shows are fire, but the 2nd set of 5-8-77 is pretty much perfect.

I be back in a few hours but the opening has me believe the impossible. That Pembroke Pines on 5/22/77 may have some competition!
Also, all these great 77 shows was when Jerry was playing the Travis Bean guitar.

That’s high on the ranking for me too
Also anytime when the Nevilles show up

Cornell, Boston, Buffalo get all the hype from the legendary Spring '77 tour and rightfully so,,,,,,but that Tuscaloosa show was a 3.5 hour monster that just ripped from beginning to end......definitely Top 5 from that tour.

Listen to Phil on Jack-A-Roe.

I'm currently playing this show in my office on Relisten.

they are all super high energy and well played. I think there’s only two left from 5/77 not yet officially released, one in NYC and one in Atlanta.
The four shows in June before Mickey drove his car off a cliff are also incredible. The three at winterland were released in a boxed set and the show in LA is unreleased. If you haven’t listened to the winterland shows you should do so immediately
BTW…nugs added a dead channel for a couple bucks more a month where every official release (dicks, daves, road trips, all the boxed sets, etc) are available to listen in all their remastered glory

The Bertha that kicks off DP 18 is probably my favorite. Love Jerry’s tone and that solo is bouncy, Jerry perfection.

I was at the Tuscaloosa show with my pops. I was pretty young.
Few things I remember, it was not nearly packed. School was out I think, maybe 50% full. He took me home at setbreak and went back.

. The dead were at a commercial low point at the time, past their cultural relevance as 60s icons and left behind as punk, new wave and disco became more mainstream. Yet there they were playing balls out every night and here we are 50 years later still amazed by the music today feels like a 6/9/77 day

They were a cheap ticket in 1977. I paid $5 to see them in Baton Rouge. Another $5 got me a tour t-shirt which I still have somewhere.
