Dick's Picks 29 includes this entire show and one from Fox Theatre in Atlanta. May 77 doesn't miss. Smoking keys on They Love Each Other. Awesome Cassidy with the band super locked in throughout. They were doing something so funky with Jack-a-Roe in 77. This one is stellar. Nasty solo on Tennessee Jed with the mutron! Passenger always gets me pumped and this one is particularly fiery. The Scarlet-Fire to end the first set is damn near perfect. That transition from Estimated Prophet to He's Gone is SMOOTH. I think this is my favorite Comes a Time. It's always a treat to hear but Jerry's vocals are warm and clean and the solo with effects is impeccable. Plus it's just short of 12 minutes! So awesome and it flows into St. Stephen. This show is really unstoppable. Not a surprise for May 77 but it's a barn burner start to finish.

I was on vacation in Sarasota with my parents. We had been coming to Florida every year from Kentucky since I was 3 years old, and this was my last family vacation. I had just finished my junior year at Murray State University in far Western Kentucky and was very into music and weed, and perhaps a few other mind-altering things as well. I was certainly aware of the Dead but not yet a fan. I kept hearing a radio ad about what I recall was a rescheduled show as I lay on the beach day after day.

There aren't enough superlatives in the English language to allow me to fully articulate the greatness of this show.....and I'm not even sure where to begin my review. Perhaps I'll keep this brief by simply stating that it was an EXTREMELY wise choice for the Dick's Picks series and is a real contender for the Best Show Of 1977......which is saying ALOT. As a whole, in my humble opinion, it leaves the Cornell show in the proverbial (magic) dust.....
- ★★★★★ · Best show of '77... · pulp79 · 2009
imo. The list of songs that are top 3 for the year is just rediculous: Bertha, Me & My Uncle, TLEO, Jack A Roe, Tennessee Jed, Row Jimmy, Brown Eyed Women, Scarlet>Fire, He's Gone, Other One, and Comes a Time, with Bertha being my absolute favorite version of all-time. Everyone I play it for agrees. Jerry's mid-song solo is absolutely perfect. Row Jimmy here destroys 5/8/77 IMO. Jerry's playing drips like honey throughout.
