Very Nice, Indeed!
Why isn't this a Dick's Pick? Simply Awesome. That jam into St. Stephen is amazing!
Just exactly right
This is one of those shows that is flawless. Hard to say if it's the bet ever, but I sure would have loved to have been there. Every song is played with intensity, fun setlist - they come rockin out the gate with Might As Well right into a killer version of J Straw. Other highlights are Let It Grow and pretty much the entire 2nd set.
Essential listening IMO and vintage late 77.
The story I heard (from someone in the student association) was that the tickets were set at $12.50. The Dead came into town and said that they would not play at that price but would be happy to play if the ticket prices were lowered to $7.50. The box office closed (this was the day before) and reopened the day of the show with new tickets.

Thanks so much for all your posts, but especially this one- this was my first Dead show, and it was a fantastic start to a long run! I've had so-so quality tapes of this show for ages, but now I have a truly fine copy! I was living in DeKalb at the time, just heavily getting into the Dead for about a year along with my roommates, and we were flabbergasted to find out that they were playing a few blocks from our house. The crowd was mellow (lots of psychedelics! peyote for us!) but enthusiastic and the Dead delivered, as they did all through 1977, especially, it seems, at the small college shows. The next morning we read that Keith and Donna accidentally burned up their room! No injuries, though, and on they went..... Thanks again!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I've read about this show but have never had a chance to hear it. I envy you "frenchyak". My first show was a few years later and that one pretty much changed my life. I would have loved to have seen a show or twenty during this era. Can't wait to listen. Thank you Dave and anyone else involved.

Randy ripped this from his private collection and uploaded it, sent me the rs links.
All that I did was mirror it on megaupload and post it so thx again to the big man in California!
Many thanks!!!
this is one of the first tapes I got in a trade 10+ years ago. The Might As Well is rediculous
I'm very glad that everyone is enjoying the Dead shows. I paid $20 a disc for these shows back in the day, but I felt compelled to share them with the world after finding Dave's most awesome blog. A great big Thank You to Dave for letting me share my shows with all of you through his blogspot.
