To Terrapin: May 28, 1977 Hartford, CT (Live)

This is as good as any other. As good as any 77. It’s 2 1/2 weeks after Cornell. I feel as good as Cornell. No Scarlet/Fire but so much to make up for it. Best Sugaree ever. You won’t regret

One of the Deads best live albums, sounds amazing and the recording is well done, Grateful Dead at there finest

I can't say anything that probably hasn't already been said but personally the Row Jimmy and Wharf Rat make me cry every time...

Here it is 2014 and I only just found this - released 5 years ago! As for the discussion regarding Keith and Brent, they just can't be compared. Kieth loved the piano, and Brent was just, to me, a virtuoso with electric & electronic keyboards, with a voice that was just made to sing the blues. I heard one interview with JG who stated that the biggest 'issue' with Kieth was that the band wanted keyboards and the sustain they could provide that couldn't be produced with guitars or a piano. There's no doubt that Kieth had some nights where he was just FLAMIN', obviously he was a critical part of the band who came in to fill Pig's shoes - which were not fillable, so he made his own path and place in the band, and the recordings prove that he belonged. Donna, well, she was Donna. Great in the studio. These are all personal opinions, not intended to offend - seriously, if I sound wrong, I probably am. I was lucky enough to see the band many times in the late 70's, 80's & 90's I quit doing whole tours after Brent's last one, Summer '90. The 'scene was turning so ugly, and the Band had to feel it. Such a tragic way to end one of the last vestiges of freedom in American Life.

Love this show. Don't know how you could say its slow. Jack Straw and BEW were ripping, along with others. It's a definite go to jam for the road.

This is definitely a top pick! The band hits it on all cylinders all the way through the show. Jerry's vocals are soulful and as good as I have heard him! Excellent 'Estimated' and 'Looks Like Rain' from Bobby. Just a very good example of the Dead as I'm sure they intended to be heard!

so this is by far the closest one can get to being at a show- in terms of sound quality. im rocking it right now, and i must say, the set list is not that different for '77, but the SOUND quality is simply remarkable!!!!!!!! thanks, and please, keep it coming!

yea i just listened to cornell 5-8-77 and this show definitely gives it a good run for its money, im more particular to '76 but its pretty awesome regardless it ceases to amaze me the number of shows i can listen to and not find something beautiful in each one Check this show out without a doubt

This release is excellent for new and veteran Deadheads alike. The sound of this release is stunning and the band are firing on all cylinders. Grab this one for sure.

I LOVE 77. Great year for the Dead and a great show. If'n you ain't got this ya gotta get it. I could make a commercial for any show in 77.
