It was 45 years ago that the GD walked onstage, the lights turned red, and Jerry launched into 'Sugaree.' It was my first in-person GD show. I was 18. I'd see them three more times in the next two weeks, in NYC (4/29), New Haven, and Boston.
mark horton my first Grateful Dead Concert was 4/22/77 , the night before this show at the Spectrum in Philadelphia ! A roadie on stage reached down handed us a sticker , it was a pass and I was too young to realize (15) what it was and just kept it as a sticker ! I still have it (I'm 58 now) 🌹❤️🎂
Thanks so much for posting this! I have VERY fond memories of this show - and the trip from Long Island, to New Hampshire to collect my buddy who was in college there, then to Springfield - in a multi-colored Dodge Dart, with all the requisite mind enhancements. Almost a half century ago......... jeez. What a show! What a time!
We went to this show. Drove up from NYC. I was a 20 yr old having the time of his life. I remember it clear as a bell as I did not trip for this one. Jerry was animated and rockin and Keith was breaking out the synth. The vocals including Donna were great and the set list couldn't be beat. They were approaching a high point and they knew it. They were having a great time playing for us. I'm a lifer since 1973. i have some photos i took that night. jerry on the bean and bobby with a short beard! look it up if you dont believe me
You don't really believe that. You jus' trolling. Much like stereotypes there's a reason people bring up early May 77 shows. Those shows were almost as good as any show from 69, 70, 71 or 72 - just not quite. But then again I don't remember anyone asking. Oh well just needed to be said
This was my first show. I got to one more show in April, on the 29th at The Palladium (NYC). I was fortunate to attend two shows early in May, too; on the 5th in New Haven and on the 7th in Boston. All four were great, as was the other '77 show I attended, in Englishtown on 9-3.
This night, I had one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life. The Dead were staying one floor above us in the Holiday Inn. That didn't matter. The music. The music.
Beautiful singing performance on Sugaree. I was born in 76 and my parents were into the dead at the time. No wonder sugaree is my dad's favorite song of theirs. Seems they were also fond of it around that time.
@@OkieDeadhead Sorry to be "that guy", but just in case you wanted to know I think the set list is wrong. I believe ramble on rose comes right after minglewood.
4//23//77.......warming up for 5/8/77 at Clara Barton Hall and leading off with a soulful Sugaree to be completed with a 20 minute Sugaree at Hartford,CN 3weeks later. Summer Tour 1977 was a Highlight.

I just spotted this and thought I'd send to my bro in Worcester County Deadheads.. clicked on Play for a taste and here I am now into Cassidy after a grate Sugaree.. Oh... 3 hours? I got this (~):}
I think it's the way Phil plays or is mixed that makes this era so good. I really can't differentiate anyone else's playing. Try playing the 5 8 77 Scarlet right before an 89 Scarlet, and you can hear what I'm talking about. Thanks for the daily dead Okie...saving me from getting sirius xm. Peace to everyone
I’m here debunking Brew Ziggins list from Cornell 5/8/77 as being “The Show that Never Happened” His list indicates this is the version of Loser the CIA used and said the Dead played that night. Was almost scared I’d find these two to be the same but they are in fact different 🤪
Just a comment on the recording...very clean, and intimate. Something that I find missing in a lot of recent recordings coming out that's here on this one is the "noodling", and tuning between songs. Of course it's not really necessary to be included but anyone who's been to a show knows that the "noodling" gives your recording a more authentic feel of being at the show...just some Deadhead commentary from Canada 😇🇨🇦...

Better still, why change the set list when you can simply add the show that matches the set list...when you do the research you'll discover that this is the meaning of "going where the climate suits my clothes"...
Listening to the dead is like wrapping my brain in a warm blanket
One of the best descriptions ever! A warm towel!!
So nice that they made it.
Happy 47 Birthday to this beautiful show. Spring 77 nothing else needs to be said... N.F.A 65-95!!!

Maybe the best Help->Slip->Franklin I've ever heard. Amazing!
Thanks for sharing all these Dead shows!! I know I speak for an awful lot of people when I say that I can’t get enough of them.
You are welcome!! When I started making these videos I was doing it for a class I teach. AS an added bonus I get to share the vids with you guys!!
@mark horton .....archive.org - its the Smithsonian for Dead Shows. All of 'em

@@OkieDeadhead This was my first show. I was 18, at college about an hour east, in Worcester. I love this show. Thanks for sharing it!
Thank you⚡❤🙏🏼
2nd set is pure fire, Grateful memories of this under appreciated show on my personal top ten
I wish I could go back in time so badly. I love the Dead.
Same here. The modern era is super depressing.
@@EugeneAxe I'm thankful that we have so many recordings of the Dead to get us though the day
As someone who wasnt alive too see them, I would do anything to go back in time to see them
Me too!!
I wish you could too. But this will work. Keep the fire burning.👍
'77 (& '72) - they hit it out of the park every show. Thanks, Okie.

This in my opinion is one of the really killer of 77 everyone flocks to early May but the late April and late May shows were my favorites for 77

If His Dark Materials has taught me anything, it's that nothing good comes from anything called "The Magisterium".
@@ariannaellie3087 I'm aware of the reference but not much more. Let's have coffee.

Hot melted Donna butter, on my fresh baked steaming biscuits!!!

I think Donna Jean could actually hear herself in the post "Wall Of Sound" era.Big difference.
@@jimjimellell I loved Donna Jean in JGB, indifferent, during her GD experiences. I hope she is well, presently.
Love me some Donna!!
Well said!
Thanks okie another great set man. Definitely needed today
Any time!
What a set list

DSO played this one tonight 2/12/22... fucking phenomenal! Lisa's bonus cover of Janis was fire!
Killer show, wasnt it?

I was there.
The gang was tight this night for sure. 2nd show of Spring tour I think. Love that Travis Bean
If you come to a TH-cam channel that had deadhead in its title and you thumbs down this show...TURN IN YOUR CARD. You are no longer needed.
God bless jerry !

Shepherd's Chapel Network !!!!!!! Pastor Murray is an Anointed Servant of GOD who teaches the Word of GOD with Authority!!!!!!!
