  • ★★★★★ · They Love Each Other · c-freedom · 2016

    really nice laid back jam on T.L.E.O, good to hear Donna singing on the Dire Wolf. Big River has some jump to it. Garcia is tearing it up. Interesting that they would take this into El Paso not two songs that I normally associate with each other. (Perhaps Weir wanted to make up for not playing El Paso the previous night) Garcia is loud and over the top even the Looks Like Rain was riff laden. Nice El Paso with Jerry throwing in some added backing vocals pretty early in the song.

  • ★★★★★ · More Awesome Early '78 · clementinescaboose · 2012

    Said it before and I'll day it again, early '78 is where it's at for this band in this year...this show has a lot that will keep me coming back...but my favorite parts, as mentioned heavily already, are definitely the Let it Grow and the St. Stephen. This LIG is just ridiculously powerful, some of the heaviest sounds I've ever heard on this song, and Jerry's playing during St. Stephen is also easily some of the most inspired I have heard of this era.

  • ★★★★★ · St Stephen! · jamiejoon · 2009

    Wow. That's amazing stuff. Just listened to the Jam before St Stephen through the end of the Set. Extraordinary. I cannot imagine someone hearing that and not giving it 5 stars...but to each his/her own. Beautiful sound, brilliant playing, lots of weird inventive touches from various members of the band. As someone else said, 4 stars for recording but 6 stars for performance. This is a new favorite for me...wish I could download.
