Red Rocks! CD. Just released today. Wow what a show. Its the feeling of the band being in synch that really stands out. Show doesn't really come alive until the second set jams. You can almost see the sun going down as they meander through jammy greatness throughout the entire set. Awesome.

Given that IMHO the tightest shows of 78 are right in the beginning of the year especially the West Coast tour. Also by Location- expectations thru the roof. To me the band really nails it on this night! Lyrics are given extra attention which seems to drive the music to a mile high summit. Also always like how the band uses ballads to keep things from getting overheated. Samson burns, Ship cools..

This is, far and away, my favorite Grateful Dead tape/CD. I first listened to this tape in the Fall of 1979 while a third year at UVa. I'm pretty sure we were on the way to a Molly Hatchet/Outlaws concert at the Cap Centre in Landover, Md. Anyway, I had sworn my allegiance to hard rock and disavowed any partiality at all for the Dead, even though the guys I hung around seemed to consist of quite a number of Dead Heads.

This show ranks #12 in Deadbase's tape ranking, and with very good reason (I'd give it extra stars for this review if I could). Recording quality is terrific, the set list is phenomenal, and Jerry is ON in a big way for both vocals and lead. EVERY TUNE shines with extra effort on his part. And the band is having as much fun as the audience. I can't imagine that you won't find yourself smiling and laughing along as you listen... ENJOY!!!
