5/9/77 Buffalo Memorial Auditorium, Buffalo, NY
On the day after Cornell there was still musical brilliance in the Grateful Dead. Last week we enjoyed a selection from the night before Cornell. Therefore, I thought it might be nice to bookend Cornell with a selection from the next evening in Buffalo to prove that there was life after Cornell.
From the moment the band slams into the first note of Help on the Way it is abundantly clear that they mean business. The ensuing Slipknot! is my all-time favorite. The composed piece is tight and focused while the jam is powerful yet spacey at the same time. Bobby's guitar work is fantastic and Jerry is in shred mode. I especially love their interaction together during the 6:47-6:56 minute mark. There is no doubt that most of you are familiar with this masterpiece so I will let you just listen to the music play.

Something about 1977 shows. They had perfected everything they had worked on for over ten years. They became a singular life form on stage, reading each other telepathically, spinning webs of sonic joy. This music never fades away.
1977! Yes! Great shows. I was playing in a band called ( ONE) out of Boston at the time. We had great light shows etc. We definitely where inspired by the Dead. We did our own thing. Thanks! Guys!
Your analysis is SPOT on !!!!! 1977 was their best year.
Solid analysis cheers
@@veritassempresorry I didn't mean to comment the same as you but cheerlol
pretty sure 77 was the peak
People that love the dead, love the dead with more passion than any other band. Either you get it and get it deeply or you're lost.
either your opinion is you like or don't. Preference has ZERO to do with being lost. I ove them as much as i do bluegrass, or primus, or system of a down. And in fact im far less lost than most...
@@agropsychonaut Grateful Dead is different. I have never ever loved a band so much. I mean I love this band more than anything else. There is something in that music that is so pure. They are not just playing. They are creating life itself. They are able to make you shine. I think that the Grateful Dead really got what life means. And we all can get it to if we just listen. There is nothing like it.
@@nataliezementbeisser1492 Trust me, i understand. Every time i pick up an electric or acoustic guitar, or bass for the day, or switch to banjo, and maybe if im feeling it midi keyboard i turn on someone's-anyone any style music and play along and keep up, whether ive heard the song or not. Improv between that many people isnt usual, and thats the kind of love i have for the dead. Lyrically epic too, and some tunes like Terrapin are classicaol like in structure. Great band. Not the only...
hmm, well, I am eclectic in musical tastes, I dig and have dug the Dead for decades but I also like tons of other music, I don´t think ¨lost" is the word I would use, lol...
Yup!♥️💀⚡🌹🎶✌️💜🤗
I consider Grateful Dead as the biggest love in my life.
I do too. I love the sound GD created like nothing else.
These guys make life worth living.
It's already worth it...they just help us realize it... ;-)
They are Grateful !!!!!!!!
Buffalo 77 is all you need in 2021
The amount of positivity that the Dead emits is just beyond amazingness.
i feel like this kinda music makes u realize everything is energy constantly swinging up down and all around. like makes u more conscientious and aware because this music almost trains us in a sense to interpret things intuitively which helps to understand this aspect more in life’s day to day as well. essentially this music helps with my self trust and almost faith in that all will be a okay when our time in this body has come to an end. hope this makes any sense.

a young deadhead 💚
Someone got on the Bus! :)
I'm with you , peace
Love it couldn't have said it better...energy transcends!! Old dead head
I am an old dead head and you’re absolutely right and stay healthy love you🌹🌷🌺💐🍄🍄🍄🌞🟣☯️☪️☮️☮️☮️☮️✝️☮️🌿
Well put ! We're listening to a flow of energy and vibrations that enriches our souls. LSD saves
Jerry's first solo here transcends traditional guitar playing. His sense of melody and phrasing while playing was, and will forever be unmatched.
Justin Gaines Perfectly put, Justin.
Someday someone will do it even better.hope I'm alive for it
Go Get 'Em Jerry.😊
Django Reinhardt could be a contender, he was a big influence on Jerry. Bb kings phrasing was pretty incredible too
@@wilfredoreyes1984haha, you won't be. Cuz it's not likely to ever happen.
The Grateful Dead... how amazing is this band. We miss you captain trips.
The fellas were always great in Buffalo ♡♡♡
Jerry rings like fire when I lose my way.
+Jesse Greer i love how Jerry fucks up all the words in Franklin's Tower and its still fucking amazing
You gotta roll away the dew, brotha~
The night after 5/8/77. Always been a favorite. Highly underrated. The comes a time in the 2nd set is great.
No band could ever bring out the feelings of so many as the Grateful Dead did! So much Soul!
Listening to Grateful Dead jams today on the anniversary of my sister's passing. Rose 🌹 loved music but lost her hearing so she would sing and hum to her memories of the songs.
Was a time I waited through the instrumentals to hear the lyrics. Really love some of the lyrics (especially Hunter's), but man, was I young and stupid.
Donna sounds really great, a nice compliment to the rest of the crew
rippin'! there's always something new to hear from this band, even 40+ years later.
Phil tearing it up!
Franklin's Tower is fantastic.
The late producer Kieth Olsen has a lot to do with how tight the band was in 77.
By all accounts, he really pushed the band hard during the Terrapin Station sessions.
Having Owsley Stanley record the shows to the standard he did was also a huge factor, the man was a audio genius.
They sound so clean and tight here. This is my favorite version so far on youtube, although the '76 version is funky as hell.
It's not easy to beat the Cornell shows. Any of the Winterland shows will come close, anything in 77 really
this is absolutely stellar.
It blows your mind if you listen to every single note
The boots were always good from Buffalo. This is the Great American Rock and Roll band. I had friends who were Dead Heads and they were always kind of elitist about their attachment to the Dead, but I also had friends who didn't get them, particularly because they thought them sloppy. If I had the chance I'd play this song from this boot to them and voilas, transformation. This is a complex piece of music and it is being played tight as a drum. I'm Grateful that the Grateful Dead gave a shit about me in northern MN and let all of this music be shared.
The Dead were consistently great in Buffalo. It's just a fun place to hang out.
When I hear someone say "sloppy", I immediately understand that he/she has not actually listened to more than a few minutes of the Dead. Anyone who has delved into the catalog knows that this band could stop on a dime most nights. Yeah, there were some ragged performances here and there, but that is what happens when the artist is searching for new musical bliss in the moment instead of just mechanically playing the same thing the same way every time. I probably sound like one of those elitist friends you were talking about, and that's fine because I am. I just happen to know that the Dead are best musical phenomenon created in the USA.
Where in northern Minnesota? I grew up there also?
I miss Jerry so much!!!!
This jam was great help on the way these days
Here for coronavirus healing
Here for every day healing
Lol Jesus loves u bro
Windows media player ambient visuals love you more than this Jesus fella
Music, especially the music that in only sought out throughout special people
@@magicAlonso1414pretty sure this is milk drop
When Jerry fudges the lyrics I Know it’s gonna be good!!
Ha!! 😁😁❤️💯🎶
this will always be my favorite
Paradise waits
On the crest of a wave her angels in flame
She has no pain
Like a child she is pure, she is not to blame
Poised for flight, wings spread bright
Spring from night into the sun
Don't stop to run
She can fly like a lie, she can't be outdone
Tell me the cost
I can pay, let me go, tell me love is not lost
Sell everything
Without love day to day, insanity's king
I will pay, day by day
Anyway, lock, bolt and key
Crippled but free
I was blind all the time I was learning to see
Help on the way
Well I know only this, I've got you today
Don't fly away
'Cause I love what I love and I want it that way
I will stay, one more day
Like I say, honey, it's you
Making it too
Without love in the dream it'll never come true
In another time's forgotten space
Your eyes looked from your mother's face
Wildflower seed on the sand and stone
May the four winds blow you safely home
Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
I'll tell you where the four winds dwell
In Franklin's tower there hangs a bell
It can ring, turn night to day
It can ring like fire when you lose your way
God save the child who rings that bell
It may have one good ring, baby, you can't tell
One watch by night, one watch by day
If you get confused, listen to the music play
Some come to laugh their past away
Some come to make it just one more day
Whichever way your pleasure tends
If you plant ice, you're gonna harvest wind
In Franklin's tower the four winds sleep
Like four lean hounds the lighthouse keep
Wildflower seed in the sand and wind
May the four winds blow you home again
Absolutely the best at what they did. So rich and timeless, the Dead will live forever.
hard to imagine what they could do to top this(HSF) i still listen to this often. to open the show. I saw them in November in a basketball arena at ASU. we got there late and they were playing Jack Straw. when we opened the doors to go inside the power of the music was palpable. -- an amazing show. there is a part of Black Peter and NFA just before Around and Around which was otherworldly. I have hundreds of shows to listen to. I've never heard them play the same way again. Transcendent and awesome and on fire. On king biscuit too.
One of his many musical masterpieces 🥀
Wow thank you for posting (from a deadhead since 1974)
5/8 and 5/9 were my very first tapes.... GREAT way to start out...
I started listening to live Dead in 86. My first show was 4/2/87. Boston Garden, Buffalo and Cornell 77 were all cornerstones of my early collection. In addition, there were amazing and beautiful copies circulating from spring and summer 85 that just blew me away. This still sounds great all these years later 'eh Chris?
My guitar teacher tried to get me started when I was in high school, but he gave me 90s tapes to get me going....didn’t take lol!!! I’ve since discovered through furthur and actually did a stint in a GD cover band. Have landed on 89 as my fav year but 77 is a close second and this recording fuckin rules!!!!!!
I hear tons of jazz chords on this tune..Love it!!
I wasted 53 years of my life listening to this band... AND I"M ONLY 47!!!!!!!!!!!
If you "got it" to any degree, the time was not wasted.
HA! I did too. And I wasted a few more years performing this song live to stretch our group's mostly original repertoire. To quote my dearly departed guitarist & writing partner: (with fervor) 'When Jerry hits that note man..' as his eyes reverently & glassily followed an apparition of Garcia across the studio ceiling (interview with Mike Majonos & George P from Tabula Rasa circa 1988 on Cox Public Access in New Orleans)
there is nothing about this band that remotely comes close to wasting any time. I'm guessing it was the wrong word. Joe Barr here says it very clearly though, you either get it or don't. the feeling inside that makes you know you are alive, and what love is.
HAHAHAHA!!!!
There is no wasted time, just misplaced moments.
GD had so many well known sequences where songs segue into one another, and although it's hard to choose, I think this one is my favorite of them all. Happy daze between 8.8.2021
This is phenomenal, I'm dancing in my chair over here lol.
Ditto!!!!! :-)
Damn. Amazing graphics!! 🌹🌹🌹
They just keep getting better.
We were always, and I mean always rewarded for the long trek up to Buffalo.
Thanks for posting I love this I was lucky enough to see them in 1978 I was 14 years old back then. I'm 58 now
psychedelic funky fresh
Jerry is the greatest guitarist of all time
100% true
Amazing how powerful one passage can be.....the 6:47-6:56 mark is a wonderful part of this masterpiece!!
I spent the last few weeks celebrating the life of someone we all love; and it's difficult to believe it's been twenty years since the separation. I still can't imagine my life, without his in it. Every time I take a moment to turn towards his art, I suddenly feel twenty years old again. To have lived during his brief time on this rock, and the accompanying great fortune that experience has offered, is beyond comprehension. I honestly don't think the boys in the band have figured it out either.
Yeah I m so down with that
Like sipping from the fountain of youth. 77 gattta be my favs
It is an amazing coincidence….or is it? …I pity the fool don’t believe in miracles….
Came here for the 42nd anniversary of this gem.
Love the Dead. Thanks for posting this amazing selection.
nuttyriv3r ; You totally enhanced my life, Dude.
I needed a good Franklin's Tower today! thanks Nutty!
a million thanks for the incredible visuals and the most beautiful Dead tunes...so grateful for this!!!♡♡♡♡♡
Excellent
Wowy Zowy!! I too, still have the cassette of this (can't believe I'm not the only one who still has cassettes... :) This music always, always restores my soul in so, so many ways. Thank you so much for posting this, and OMG can't even get started on the visuals. Fasten your seat belts!! Forever Grateful.
Too good !
Cassettes! We just found some live shows recorded on cassettes! From the 70's. From a band called ( ONE) out of Boston. Some sound great! We hope enough plus real to real tapes. Se we can release a album!
My favorite part is listening to it.
Healing for the soul and beyond
IMHO, the absolute peak was the second set of Ithaca and the first set of Buffalo. Such fire. Such precision. Such ferocity. Never before and never since.
WeirdErnie 8/27/1972
I always thought this set was much better than the infamous Cornell Scarlet>Fire set . I still have a perfect soundboard tape from this show. The Peggy-O from this show is one of my favorite Dead moments in addition to this slick little Slipknot! Best versions of all time in my humble opinion.
That night's Morning Dew is my favorite GD live track. I have listened to that concert hundreds of times and it's easy to understand why it is considered a top GD show. Morning Dew's crescendo rivals anything ever recorded.
My favorite Dew is from the fourth of July, 1989. Jerry hit some vocal highs I never heard before or since.
That Buffalo show is so underrated. As is the Tuscaloosa show earlier in the tour...
i still have this on cassette tape- thanks for sharing it here! one of my favorite 70s versions of this sequence.. peace
fucking amazing!!!!!
One of the first tapes, I got when I really started swapping tapes back in 89. Super awesome first set.
My favorite GD show from 1977
What a great suite ---- and absolutely FANTASTIC graphics. No idea how you make them but they fit beautifully - kudos to IT guy designer. Thank you. D. A., NYC
thanks for posting. listening to this on the back deck with a tree frog chorus and a nice cold beverage. guitars were amazing. never could figure out how they (jerry and bob, not the frogs) got so much music weaving through a couple of chords in franklin.
Very nice!Thank you.
This is my Birthday show!!!
Thanks. Top 10. I don't think I've ever heard this one. I'm going to download it now.
GOD BLESS 🙌 🙏 YOU AND ROSE.SHE SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT SISTER❤❤
NEVER look away: ALWAYS find a way to look.
That's why I built that tower: with help, of course.
Terrapin balls y'all.
thanks much. went to college kinda near buffalo. lots of us dead heads in upstate ny in the late 70's. this is very nice. excellent sound quality and superb music by the band
much appreciated
Beautiful Dead and super groovy animations, great post!
wailinburnin groovy as shit my guy
There certainly was loads of 'life after Cornell'! For one, the ultra magnificent Englishtown show, September 3rd 1977 - my first Dead show!
I really love the 6/9/77 show. Definitely my favorite Help>Slip>Frank comes from that show. ✌🇨🇦
@@danielmorris3687 : I'll have to check that show out now...
@@jackmacjack2621 you can find the complete show on theseventyseven77 YT channel. Axtually all 3 shows in that run from 7th-9th on his channel. Enjoy fellow traveler. ✌
Still my favorite Help>Slip ever, I attended 3/30/90, I think this one is tighter.
the constant flow of versatile musical surprises in every next phrase when Garcia really
flies
starts me laughing in amazement sometimes
he may not remember the lyrics
but it ain't memory that keeps those cascading surprises in lyrical melody shifts
coming
is about the only word I can think of that does it justice
this medley was a revelation when it arrived
suddenly the brilliant chaos had gotten very precisely organized for a few songs each show
This was my first show. Can now appreciate it even more than when I was there.
For a long time following the day. Jerry passed, I avoided attending any live performances of surviving band members, or any GD cover bands. Oh what a mistake that was. I finally broke down and volunteered to work "The Days Between Festival" at The Hog Farm this year and what eye (or ear) opener that was! Since the whole event was to. celebrate Jerry' (the show dates were August 5th through 7th.which include the days between his birth August 1 and his death August 9) most. of the bands were GD cover bands , yet some played originals .and covers,. What I realized and witnessed was how truly free this great music is in that these songs are structured in such a way as to allow the player to express him/herself uniquely without taking away from the. original form, just like the Dead played their songs differently each time. It was such a beautiful 3 days..It didn't matter if the same song was played 2 or 3 times on a single day by different performers, they each sounded so different from the other and so artistically unique it was ok. I witnessed the true timelessness of this music, I felt it deeply. Thank You for uploading this amazing version of Help/Slip/Franklin. . This version is another testament to what I said above!
Nice, cool all the way around
Into the SUN ..... Paradise waits in Buffalo.. what a run New Haven to Buffalo & beyond... Back at yah Brandon..
sounds awesome running through Fender Red Knob.. almost LIVE !!
thank you :) you make me smile everyday
Had this SDBD before Cornell. Ha ha. Blew me away. Betty Boards. I remember when Cornell & The Manhattan Center boards hit. Was mind boggling. Sounded like a CD. I love this band.
That's Owsley for you, he was a HUGE perfectionist! His SBs are superior for sure.
So much magic feeling, layers and layers, and it can’t me touched, what was once held, but still flowers when the music is right.
Highly under-appreciated show.
great mix. the drumming is sick in this.
I hope you got that , it's a banging version.
Crazy GORGEOUS!!! I am in love!!! :-)
Wow!
Gorgeous, Ed, thanks you for this man
Very nice visuals, in fact , I think they're the best I've ever seen!
This is greAt thanx alot❤
This is where it's at

If you haven't seen it you might like
"Fractals of Familiarity ..." Which can be found by seeking something like
"Hunter explains Franklin's Tower"
The tune is beautiful, and finding more meaning in Hunter's lyrics is a real blessing.
Many days it's my very favorite "secular" tune.
Also deeply spiritual to me is
2008 Denmark Procol Harum "Salty Dog" on TH-cam.
Happy New Year to all who wish no ill.
Procol Harum and the Dead were the only 2 bands I know of that employed full time lyricists.
Procol Harum
The Procol Harum "Salty Dog" Denmark 2006 on TH-cam
is one of my top few Ever.
I find it deeply spiritual and have listened Many times.
Probably best Help/Slipknot/Franklin's ever?
Franklin's Tower is so hot!!!
This. Is. Bliss
