  • ★★★★★ · Uptown Winter '78 Thunderskull! · mcgrupp216 · 2018

    Excellent SBD from the best night of the first Uptown run. Short but sweet first set, clocking in at a mere 45 minutes-- although the audio is missing the Sunrise between the Cassidy and Sugaree. Still that would make it a mere 50 mins, instead. Surprising Sugaree to close it out, and then a Samson to open the second that just cooks.

  • ★★★★★ · Peak night on a peak tour · Krabcake O. Canada · 2004

    This is an undercirculated, underrated classic-type show on a crispy soundboard. 2/1/78 capped off a great Uptown Theater run. Along with the surrounding shows (1/22/78 through the Dicks Picks 18 shows just following this one), it represents a pinnacle of sorts for the Dead and the end of an era. Set 1 is solid. A couple spectacular highlights are provided by a crisp, ripping Jack Straw opener and a short but explosive Sugaree.
