    Peggy O was the song going through my head this morning and I went to archive to get a track from one of the shows. I stumbled on this sight which was like stumbling on a gold mine. Nevertheless, Peggy O is magic. I never really appreciated this song until now. That's how it is with a lot of the Dead's songs. Initially some songs don't get noticed but then they grow on me and like the petals of a flower begin to unfold and reveal it's beauty. Thats how it was for me for this song.

    As a Dead-head from '73 to the sad and bitter, bitter end I toss this observation out there...... I got on the '77 tour bus (okay, it was '76 Corona hatchback wagon) at the Spectrum and rode it up through the Palladium shows. Had I known what was going to happen at Barton Hall I would have done whatever it took to be there. Certainly a great show, in my Top 10, and even those casually associated with the Dead seem to call out 5/8/77 time and again.
