Keith really kills it this night. One of the legendary May '77 shows. It's not ideal for every show but it works really well for this especially since it's like Phil is the lead. This show truly deserves its five-star rating. The sound is fantastic,the setlist ROCKS and the Band is feeling it in that golden shaft of light. Booyakasha. Some of my favorite dead. He must've been trying things out before he settled on his standard riffs that you get in all the great May 77 versions. Great example of why I will forever enjoy the Dead. My advice is start with the most popular page and go from there. This is the show that got me into the Grateful Dead. So many great sounds, here, still 76 in my mind, but ovcourse major turn with Terrapin and estimated, worth notin', quality eyes, and great playin>wheel>playin, they were in no rush to exit, good minglewood. Gotta get this one! Thats all I got! pick any song, it doesnt matter, they are all played with such power and precision. I've always loved this show and gave away my tapes years ago. 1980/5/29 - Des Moines Civic Center, Des Moines, IA 2 1980/5/30 - Milwaukee Auditorium, Milwaukee, WI 1 1980/5/31 - Metropolitan Sports Center, Bloomington, MN 3 Welcome! The 1st live Terrapin, best quality and best played (IMO) of all time. He seems to really lead the way on Terrapin. What a wonderful '77-78 run. nothing against this minglewood....perfectly good. Great show. A must have if for no other reason than the historical significance, offering up the first Terrapin and Estimated. The bass solo from Eyes to Dancin' is INSANE!!!! What a great set opener - very daring to open up with a complicated tune they had never performed live before. I had 500+ live Dead shows in my collection by 95 and this Swing show was my best sounding, most top 5 fav of them all. but bro it has nothing...i repeat nothing, on the barton hall minglewood opener. If you send me some blank CD-R's and self-addressed envelope I can send 'em back to ya. ... 2-26-77 show time. Still, it's wonderful to have it to listen to while sitting in from of my computer. I love the clarity of this show. This is a tremendous show for many reasons....the first ever Estimated and Terrapin complete with Keith's new keyboard sound.....a complete meltdown during Playin>Wheel>Playin to close out set 1.....and what about a flawless Help>Slip>Franklin's that has Jerry reaching for the heavens. I wish Jerry's solo would have been longer, but Keith tripping out on the keys is what makes this one so special. The sound is fantastic,the setlist ROCKS and the Band is … I`m really stuck on set one, just cause of the set list is great. Just curious because they sound pretty good as well (sometimes I like it when Jerry 'screws up' the singing). Sick Minglewood, check out New Minglewood at Nassau Colliseum 5/6/87, Brent is on fire! if this show doesnt turn you into a life long deadhead, nothing will. So many good thing have already been said. can't wait! download it. This is probably my favorite show i have downloaded from this website. Scott, I LOVE Swing Aud. (This show is featured on. What a beautiful concert. Not to mention the first Terrapin ever! This is practically a perfect show. I was prompted to listen to this show again after reading an interview with Bobby from 1977 in Conversations with the Dead by David Gans. the first couple notes just gave me chlls up my spine. The scarlet>fire on this download sounds like 5/5/77 because it IS 5/5/77. I agree with all the other reviews of this show and the quality of each of the songs. I have since gotten CD copies and after finding it on here again, I have been streaming it daily! Can't have everything I guess. On my ride hitchhiking back, the driver got out of the car to help someone and the car started rolling backward down the highway. Anyone looking for a trade please hit me at m77m77jm@. :) Awesome stuff!!!!! Great Eyes of the world. Keep an eye open for my reviews. I WAS HOOKED ON LIVE DEAD TAPES. Deal is bouncin', Eyes is phenominal, and of course, the FIRST TERRAPIN EVER PLAYED...TO PERFECTION! Bertha-> Good Lovin', Brown Eyed Women, Cassidy, Peggy-O, Looks Like Rain, Dire Wolf, Passenger, Candyman, El Paso, Friend Of The Devil, The Music Never Stopped Cold Rain & Snow, Lazy Lightning-> Supplication, Scarlet Begonias-> Fire On The Mountain-> Estimated Prophet-> He's Gone-> Truckin'-> Wharf Rat-> Around & Around, E: Samson & Delilah We just get left out in the cold while others continue to enjoy this incredible music. '77! I totally dig the 5/8/77 show....but in my opinion this how trumps it by far. 5 stars; turn up the bass and let it rock! I had a tape of this show for years but it never sounded this good. The second set has a great Help On They Way>Slipknot!>Franklin's Tower. If you've got it, please share. The jams are incredible. Stop reading this review and download this show. What a grate one-- in my personal top 3 of 77. An overall killer show, one of the high points of the K&D years. It's just amazing! get this show. I love the Help>Slipknot>Franklins. I have been searching for this show for a little while. I was ready to leave after the first set. Jerry plays one hell of a sick lead during Help on the Way. For some reason its on here as a filler (a pretty good filler, I might add). I think that has been said enough in the other reviews here. Hey now, no need to promote your particular style of reviewing shows on the internet. I would love to be able to listen to it on my Nomad, but alas streaming audio only! Just reminds me how Garcia was one in a million. I don't haver the strength to get into that winless debate.Just download and you'll be in everyone's good graces. This show has one of the best sound mixes. Was walking out when the security told me if I went out I could not come back in. Enjoy. Love 77 and own a lot but would love to get this on CD for some crankage on the road. They just do it right, the music, production, feel, marketplace in the lot the whole shebang. Please somebody help out a fellow human!! from 5-5-77. Probably my favorite version of all. Grate performance. I must say that i am not surprised that this one has been downloaded so many times . If you don't like this show nothing going to make you a dead head. NMB smokes and by the time they hit Estimated prepare to be searching for your face. More Hell's Angels than I'd seen at any other Dead show (because it was San Bernadino, I guess). WHOA. Opening up with Terrapin Station (the first) is fantastic and the show never lets down. ?This site and all it's options, that's why. It was so nice to be able to just walk up to the stage and cruise around where I wanted. Some might not like it: It's not quite as smooth, the guitars have more of an edge, and Keith seems to be trying out some stuff also, but I find it refreshing to hear something a little different from the same old great versions of Terrapin. What more needs to be said. Love the huge majestic "power" chords Keith hits on Terrapin. What can I say that's not already been said. I thought at fist this show wouldn`t be that good, but it`s not good, IT`S GREAT. Because the Dead just stole it! little emotion, rather more of a structure and obedience... you can tell that they were trying to play the song. This show was a great show and the sound here is great. My favorite is still 5-8-77 at Cornell because the second set is just sensational, but this '77 show is another gem. The Spring '77 run was their best run ever! I also like the Wheel sandwiched between Playing in the Band, I was just listening to a different Dead show, specifically 5/5/77 show at New Haven. i have this show on disk if anyone still needs it. I was thrilled to be able to see the guys (and girl) live. I grabbed this, but in a search for artwork the last two tracks don't show up...and if you look at the other version of this show (SBD) they are not on it...is this a mistake on this post?

In fact, there's not too much about this one to complain about (except the abrupt and early end of Dancin'). Roll away, the Dew!!!!! I can't think of another Terrapin where he plays so confidently and majestically. 77 was an incredible run and this was surely an amazing show to kick it off. The sound quality is among the best i've heard so far, amazing! This show speaks for it self.

This is one the five best Dead shows ever! And it is sizzling...especially Jerry's attack on the solo...it really has more of a sort of aggressive feeling than he would develop in the months to come. Simply put, there was no other band (at the time) like the Grateful Dead. Set 2: Samson And Delilah Tennessee Jed The Music Never Stopped Help On The Way Slipknot! First Terrapin and one of the best....I don't say that lightly !! I really do wish it never stopped! All in all, download this show. ***** A+++++, wow.... terrapin is beautiful, as is sugaree. 02/26/77 Swing Auditorium - San Bernardino, CA. If you like the mid -> late 70's stuff, this show is a must-have! as just about everyone else has said, this is one KILLER show. Tight show all around, the boys were really on that night. Those of you who saw them in '73-'74 may have, but after this, he pretty much stopped that. The band is just rollin' be it slow or fast kind of a clicking along. Everything is correct here, except the city. Nothing else even comes close to this recording: Also, this is the only time I ever saw Phil do a distinct bass solo; during "Eyes of the World", of course. Does anyone have a copy??

Get the show for the Terrapin, Est. Show from early 1977 and even though there was still 10 month left of the year, it was on top of the heap. The band is really together, the sound is good, and the jams are groovin'. There was no Scarlet>Fire at this show. Many Many Thanks. So many high spots in this show. Listening to these shows I try to listen to more of the west coast performances because I have noticed many of the East coast concerts have people talking during the songs. Their first concert presentation of Terrapin is one of their best, but also seems to serve as a "bright inspiration" which moved them to greater heights in the rest of the show. From the first live performance of Terrapin Station and Estimated Prophet to the stunning Playin>Wheel>Playin, as well as Help>Slipknot!, they were feelin' it more than usual this special night. setlist. Had never been to the Swing Auditorium. Prophet ", and " The Deal", on set one. Download immediately! Others have said this, but I have to put my two cents in. Encore: Uncle John's Band I tend always (daily) come back and listen to this gig. There are quite a few standout songs, and also some very interesting song combos. I keep skipping to Sugaree, man that is so good in this show! The first Terrapin Station opens up the show and they play it excellent. Best quality I've heard on this site so far. Playin'->Wheel->Playin' is the Dead at their best, and deserves a spot in any compilation. Wondering where to start like i was? Could it be a soundcheck? When I first started listening to the Dead, in 86, I couldn't get my hands on enough of their tapes. I think that people have a right to be excited, but people came to hear the show.I have also noticed that some of the reviewers are on disgraceful ego trips rather than being coherent enough to appreciate and comment on the music. I dont remember if i got my sbd copy from bittorrent on etree or on the archive. But even though my favorite band, the Grateful Dead, had played there once already, several years earlier, I hadn't been there. Great performance to start off this big year. I recently tried this: I typed in 7\7\87 and cranked it up. Would've loved to here more. Can someone please give me a hint as to how to find a copy? Use this setlist for your event review and get all updates automatically! thats absolute perfection. The entire band is in complete sync like i've never heard before. I feel they lost a bit of energy towards the end and the Around and US Blues are a bit sluggish. The 5/8/77 show was one of the best of that year, but this one is right up there as well. They kept climbing up the laddar, and never looked back. Set 2: Bertha Good Lovin' Ship Of Fools Estimated Prophet The Other One Drums Not Fade Away Comes A Time Sugar Magnolia. God bless you and them and all of us. What a great show and a great era. A must for any fan. If anyone wants copies of any shows email meat colonialsrv@, I am not sh3rman420....but this show 5 star worthy, one of my favs for 77 playing into wheel is great and franklins is amazing. as an opener! However they have thier own sound and lots of great tunes. I have listened to this alot and i want it, Got to have it! I've always really liked them, but when I downloaded this show and heard it, I became addicted. Opening with Terrapin you have to love that.The sound so very sweet its a bit of a pity that these shows can't be D/Led but that was the bands choice i guess. Terrapin is cool, kind of ends early though. Garcia seems willing to explore much more in the first solo and in the little jam between Lady With a Fan/Terrapin Station. It is a crime that great shows like this one are no longer available for free download. Had this show for years. Even though obviously an early take on the song, its still one of the best Terrapin I've ever heard. If you are reading this don't wait, download it now!! Nice U.S. Blues encore, and the filler is good too. The Grateful Dead was an American rock band formed in 1965 in Palo Alto, California. Enjoy!!

If the first Terrapin, the first Estimated, the jammin' Playin>Wheel>Playin, the bombs Phil drops in the Eyes>Dancin jam, or the Help>Slip>Franklins don't blow your mind, then get this show for the beautiful Keith solo in TLEO. camus21@. My other favs of this night was the chillaxed Help-Slip-Frank, and esp the Eyes->Phil Zone bass jam->Dancing that are the smoking highlights of the 2nd set and best pairing/segue way of these 2 tunes (in fact, IDT there is another show with a Eyes->Dancing that I know of?). and the sound quality of this show is so good that even in mp3 it sounds GREAT.

What becomes of those of us with dial-up who can't stream music without it stopping every 10 seconds or so to buffer? i've never heard them play so tight in my life.... the intensity of this music is unreal.... keith is awake, and hammering the keys.... jerry is on another level.... absolutely ripping it up... bobby's belting out the vocals in minglewood like i've never seen... unreal... is it just me, or does the sound quality on scarlet-fire, and good lovin differ from the rest of the show? I've only heard poor quality tapes of it and this is very nice!!! Otherwise, I agree, this is a great show! Were they actually played at this show? I quickly evolved to taper by the next yr. My kinda vibe. But when I hear this terrapin/mingle it makes me suddenly realize that there IS something cosmic and grandiose which eminates from this music...making it okay that it defined a huge part of my youth.

This show is a personal fav of mine from '77. The band is known for its eclectic style, which fused elements of rock, folk, country, jazz, bluegrass, blues, gospel, and psychedelic rock; for live performances of lengthy instrumental jams; and for its devoted fan base, known as "Deadheads." Oh yeah I almost forgotthe playin jams are absolutely ridiculous. Woooooo! Not even close. So smooth in synce and beatiful.
