Thank you for this entire Archive scene! I feel like I want to donate my entire earthly possession to Archive.Org. I've always been a big fan of AUDs over SDBs. Though I love 1977, it's candy compared to the meat and potatoes of 1972-74. This is a great show but let's not get too carried away.

If you guys uninstall quicktime on your PCs' you can download soundboards. Just right click on the song you want and pick download.

Subject: not great sound
I was hoping to find a crispy audience copy. Unfortunately, this isn't it. There's too much high-end noise. The other audience version here is a bit speedy. Fortunately I have the Betty Board on cassette, and I'll stick with it until they either release this show commercially or until the soundboards are once again available for download (don't hold your breath for that!)

Subject: One of the best
One of the best and one of the first Grateful Dead shows I've ever had. I love hearing it 23 years later! Thanks, for those who haven't heard it yet, check out Dancin' and Scarlet>Fire.

Subject: Wow
Yes, this show is really good. REALLY GOOD. But, for old time sake, I decided to put it on today. I hadn't listened to this Morning Dew in years. Words fail me as I sit at my desk and try to figure out what just happened to my mind.

Keep in mind that I have probably listened to this show a few hundred times over the last 15 or so years, but usually just for the Scarlet/Fire. Listen to the stream of the Dew and tell me you're not moved. Wow.

This show is FN SICK!!! its the kind of show that makes me want to puke my soul out and fly away. AAHAHAAH!

Subject: I like the college shows.
I notice that The boys have more electricity when they play the college venues. They tend to be a little crazier like the test days.

Subject: Easily top 10, actually top 5 GD show Ever
IMO. Jus listen and you'll understand.

Subject: Acclaimed Greatest???
Says who? We all have our all time favorite(s). It's like comparing Orange Sunshine to Daffy Duck #3 or whatever. This is cool but it doesn't peg my "of-all-time-o-meter". It is remarkable, however, that it's as good as it is with hand held Shure 57's straight into a deck. Heck, Donna even sings on key for a couple of bars. I've always dug the "jazz meltdown" on Dancin' like this one too, even if Bob jumped the gun on the vocal lead in. "Everybody take a step back..." Ya' gotta' love it.

"Who are The Grateful Dead and why do they keep following me around?"

I just found this site. I am prevleged to say the least.I am 62 years old. Saw the beatles and the Dead live.This is great stuff. I do play guitar and have since 1966.

Reviewer: Deadman72355 - - April 13, 2008
Subject: Better than the SBD?????
This is a good AUD of this phenominal show, but, better than the SBD. You must not have heard the SBD that I have. I downloaded this show 3 years ago, when you still able to download the SBDs' and the Board is 100 times better than this version.
But everyone is entitled to their own opinion. This show was acclaimed the greatest Dead show ever, and without a doubt it is. But then again the entire 1977 show collection is by far the best year they ever had. I was lucky to get board copies of every show before they were locked out for streaming only.

A GREAT show from a GREAT year

Reviewer: NJFunkNetwork - - April 9, 2008
Subject: Best. Tape. Ever.
This is fantastic. Get it right away. I had a cassette of this from WAY back and it's the one I cut my Dead teeth on.

"America's favorite song, TRUCKIN!!!!"

Also, listen for the baked dude during Dew saying "Hey, he's got microphones in here. Why can't I have microphones?!?" It's real low in the mix, but it's funny as hell, and since I've heard this at least a million times, I know all of the drug induced banter.

Reviewer: spoozey - - March 28, 2008
Subject: Fu@#in Great!
This recording is phenomenal! Dare I say it rivals _all_ the board tapes available. Also, it's no stretch to call this the best aud of any '77 show available on the archive. My previous fave's being 4-23-77 & 5-17-77. I think this effort deserves to be at the top of the list for many peoples favorite years.

Notes

Notes:10 Feet From Stage=Great Instrement Pickup,
Vocals A Bit Lower Than Moore's Copy.
A Few Pauses But Not Many,Tape Filp After D01T08,D03T03
Flip Durning NFA Crossfaded And Is Barely Noticeable,
Probably Lost 3-4 Sec's
Minimal Crowd Chatter, But With Handheld Mic's, Up Front,
There Are A Few Spots Where In An Ideal World, A Few People
Would Have Been Standing Somewhere Else.
