McArthur Court, U of Oregon

Smokin' encore. You know the playing was hot when even this is a scorcher.

Samson and Delilah

McArthur Court, U of Oregon

Smokin little number boosts the second set.

New Minglewood Blues

Bobby seems on this whole night, and Jerry's tone is unreal.

One of the first Dead songs I ever heard way back in the day. Kicks off a raging Set II.

There is not a single song in this entire show that is not outstanding. One of the best shows I've yet heard. This "DS" is amazing, and it's a bright star in the blinding firmament of the concert. Pick any song from this show, you won't regret it.

The only time all show I thought they were running out of steam, and even then, it's a superior version.

Hey Madcap, I saw something to that effect on a "Weir Here" video that was partially shilling for the May '77 box set. That was the first I've heard of it (joking that the show was so popular it never actually happened), so if anyone else can walk it back further, let me know!
