Subject: Geez could they make a more pathetic setlist?

First Dead show was 3rd night at the pyramids. I was in Egypt for a year of college. Roomed with a dh from Rochester studying at Amherst. He brought a copy of this show, I had the stereo.
So, what was it like at the Pyramids? My roomy recorded using a boombox set on the stage!
Anyway, listened to to this tape many times, among others, in our flat. 40 years, many shows and many hours, weeks, if not months, a year?, of listening to Dead shows I still come back to this one.
Every show I have been to has featured something uniquely special in how one or more songs are played. An Unbroken Chain has no weakest link.
Being Grateful strengthens the chain.
Subject: Just Grate!
Subject: LOVE IT!
Subject: One of my favorites
I've never heard another show quite like this one. It has its own unique feel. There aren't any of the way out there kind of jams, but the show seriously rocks in a laid-back sort of way. It's the Dead at their loose and yet tight best. Everything just hangs together so perfectly.
This show has my favorite versions of Franklin's and GDTRFB. I also love the Scarlet and the spacy "Slipknot", which is as jammed out as the band gets on this particular night. There isn't a song that isn't well-played.
Subject: What a Find! Another X-Factor Show!
Subject: not fade
Subject: gotta agree with the guy directly below me
recording is top notch too so i'm going with 4.5
Subject: 4/23/77
The sound quality is top notch and this has become one of my most listened to 77 shows. I guess it all depends on what type of Dead you like
Subject: phonin' it in
Subject: LOVE THIS SHOW!
Daddy D the keyboard you are hearing Keith play around with is a MOOG synthesizer. I personally love the trippy organ sounds! The best use of this keyboard is the Pembroke Pines Lazy Lightning>Supplication. The Help>Slip>Franklin's is perfect!
So this show is perfect for all you '76 fans! I think March and April had their own disctinct sound. You can tell a huge difference between the end of April and May 7,8,9. Don't miss out on this great show!
Subject: High at Bertha
Subject: Seamless!!!
The Scarlet Fire and the Help-Slip-Franklin's are show right there.
I highly recommend this SBD to everyone out there.

Subject: So many shows, so little time . . .
I've decided I hate all you old hippies. For the most part the drugs & sex you enjoyed didn't kill you, and the music you got to experience! IT'S JUST NOT FAIR!! Wait a minute . . . I guess without some of you old hippies I wouldn't have all this great music to listen to . . . on second thought--I love you guys!
If this show would have occured anytime from 1980 onward I'd give it 5 stars; however, for a 1977 show, 4 stars is as high as I can go.
First of all, Keith, who I think is THE MAN and whom I've never said a bad word about, plays around w/ some kind of synthesizer during Row Jimmy, Help, Fire, & others, and quite frankly it just didn't work. Thank God he ended up primarily playing the piano, virtuoso wizard that he was.
Jerry flubs some lyrics during Help On the Way, and there's a truly unfortunate audience patch during Franklin's Tower. However, at one point Jerry rocks out during Franklin's in a way that I don't think I've ever heard--simply amazing!
For the most part Donna actually sounds OK, but then at one point during Sat. Night she simply can't contain herself & let's loose with one of her patented screams. Oh well, had I been there I'd of probably been screaming myself!
All in all definitely worth a listen, and again, check out Franklin's Tower. Smokin'!
Oh, and by the way: I'm not gay, but Charlie Miller--you are a stud. Muchas Gracias Amigo!!
