Subject: Best
This show has the best "Loser" and "The Music Never Stopped" in Dead history. It is the only "Loser" (I have heard) where Jerry doesn't miss a single note. Amazing. Wish I could have seen him:(

This show, or run of shows (+ Forum on 6/4), is an important part in the lore of 1977 for good reason, as it is completely off the chain!! Total "A Game" performance for Jerry & Co, especially the spectacular second set.

Donna Jean's lack of pitch actually harmonizes well at times -- don't pin me down for the specific several instances I've heard -- but does she absolutely ruin every mid-seventies show? It would pain me to not watch or listen just because one element was not to my liking. These taped shows and memories are all we have and are to be appreciated as far as I'm concerned.
The guy standing next to me yelling his ass off knows all the words to Drums and Space tonight and he also refuses to sing on key but he didn't spoil the show. Or you got that dork Jar-Jar in the Star Wars series. He didn't ruin the whole show, just kinda made you appreciate the Dark Side more. They don't put up with that sort of crap.
Oh, there's more to Donna Jean than just her gorgeous looks and feminine counter to the men's voices in the songs. She adds a rustic quality and a humanity to the vocal where too good a voice would at times overshadow the leads.
I'm not saying Brucejuice should like it more. I think we can tolerate imperfections in voice while the guitar sings to us on key.

Yea, the Home Games were always the best. Being a boy from The Avenues, I have to admit a certain bias. Nice job, Bertrando.

She absolutely refuses to sing on key. Ruins every single show from 73 til they canned her in, what, 78? It's a shame.

If you are into quality Aud's and GD in '77, this one is supah. What a great second set and the quality of this aud: Mwah!!

Reviewer: SpiderBaby - - March 26, 2006
Subject: Nice as Ice on a Hot Day...
...what I really mean is that this will quench your musical thirst if you love this band. This is a nice sounding audience recording. There is something pure about recordings like this- as if you were standing right there with the screams and yells of joy heard through the crowd.

A real nice "Jack Straw" follows a great "Mississippi Half-Step" opener. Some other highlights are the "Estimated...">Saint Stephen. St. Stephen goes into the Drums and then beautifully back into St. Stephen which rolls nicely into Terrapin. All and all a great show. I only named a few great moments check them all out for yourself!

This is my favorite show. Jerry means business.The estimated is the best one i've ever heard because it is just plain terrorizing!... as well as transcendant which takes you to another place.Audience participation adds to this effect...Just trust me.

Reviewer: capn doubledose - - May 2, 2005
Subject: One of the best they ever played anywhere
it's here folks and an audience - this is so full of sickly kalaedescopic drippy fun it's not to be missed - this one gets tucked in my breast pocket when they lower me 8' under.

forget abt the hiss - for this show an audience is de rigeur and the 5 is indisputable.
