This is arguably the great over-looked show of this era. The Stranger opener is so spot-on as to seem like it was mid-set or even a second set opener. The crowd must’ve been stunned and their reaction at the end hints at this. Peggy-O is just, well, perfect. Big RR Blues is smokin’ hot and sounds like Garcia is dancing on top of the very strong backing of the rest of the band. Bird Song is my favorite from this period of the Dead.

This is indeed one the great unknowns, or the best show you've never heard about (or heard before), until you listen and you'll have to concur! Something about the venue, which resembles in size and form the fabled Barton Hall, albeit a bit more ornate and slightly smaller. Nevertheless, the airy spaces, starting with Winterland of course, were always conducive to the great modulations in Dead performances. All that aside, this is just one of those performances that is extra special.

This is a very nice audience recording from one of my favorite eras of the Dead. As already stated, this is a great show top to bottom. They were normally on fire during this time. I have the board and I used to be quick to dismiss an aud. But this recording makes me think twice. More enjoyable than the board imo. 5 stars all around.
