- ★★★★★ · Great show, very underrated · pulp79 · 2009
This is the show that should have been released with either 9/25 or 9/28 on Dick's Picks 20! For whatever reason it wasn't, but this seriously blows both of those shows away, imo. The only reason I could figure is maybe it isn't in the Dead's vault, or else the recording is too flawed. Mr. Miller once again did an amazing job, as it sounds a ton better than the previous copies up here. If 6/29's sound is a 10, than this is a 9.5, easy.

This show really gets rolling when they start exploring the spaces in between Lazy Lightning>Supplication. From that point on the band is fluid and as the 2nd set attests they are ready to put the foot on the accelerator. One thing I noticed up front is Keith during Samson being way more in the mix for this show and playing counterpoint or cutting across the grain of the tune. By 1978 it is the drummers that pull most of the weight in Samson.

First of all, great sound quality on this, very crisp. 1976 was a rebuilding year for the boys, but in the way that 2006 was a rebuilding year for the Patriots. By september they are firing on all cylinders. The first set here is very well played, though many songs are not nearly as polished as they would be at the outset of 1977. The second set on the other hand is just top tier dead. From Help to the end they just kill it.
