Whoa, I’ve never heard this show before. My goodness! They have trouble landing the jam on Jack Straw, but it doesn’t matter, it bristles with energy. Phil drops all the bombs!

Jump like a Willys in four wheel drive! Man, I love this band.

That was fun!

I feel like I hadn’t listened to that show in a long time, so I cued it up this afternoon. I’m more convinced than ever that it’s popularity is based primarily on the crisp booters that were so widely available back in the day. Don’t be mistaken, the Dancin’ 1st set closer and the Dew to close the 2nd are top performances of those tunes, but it is not the best show ever and is not even the best show of May ‘77.

That’s it. I’m on record.

I was listening to Ithaca 77 Brown-Eyed Women the other day and this thought occurred to me. It is really, really clean. That said, I do think it's one of the best BEW I've ever heard. Jerry was just having one, plain and simple. Even the first 5 seconds are notable.

Fun fact: My oldest daughter literally entered the world to Jack Straw from the same show. Had the phone on shuffle at the hospital. Always one of my favorites so it seemed fitting.

I caught a Wolf Bros show on the first tour, super enjoyable sets.

Is Bobby really wearing Capris, Birkenstock’s, and socks?
Oh, my.
Not that it matters...but he is a self avowed fashion maven.

Rideit- dude has been sporting that look for 15yrs.

On another note. Does anyone know if we buy the St. Paddy’s webcast...do we have it available indefinitely? 5-8mtn ain’t gonna work for me but given the last round I’d be happy to spring for this one of I could watch later.

Haha, if he were hiking on a trail grooving on the vortexes (and I didn’t recognize him) I probably wouldn’t start chatting...

First Album dropped on 3/17/1967 and this cut was played live the next night.

One of only two 'originals' on the album.

It's available for a few more days, I am re-watching now. I found the whole thing absolutlely phenomenal. The Wolf Bros alone are sort of boring but with Chimenti + pedal steel the entire show, and horns/fiddle/cello(?) for lots of it, it was just outstanding. After Shakedown and Let it Grow they could've been done and I would've gotten my $20 worth, but then they played for almost three more hours.

Absolutely dank af. Only complaint is that they were putting the emphasis on the wrong syllables in the chorus to Whiskey in the Jar.

Was listening to that on my way to work this morning, it was TIGDH show of the day. The first of 3 multi-show runs they did at Winterland in ‘77. They played the second half of the second set. St Stephen>The Other One, massive.
Didn’t get to the end of the set.

Just sitting down with my new 76 box set and a case of Utica Club. Things are looking up.

I’ll be seeing this lineup if it moves forward!

^I just watched a free tease link from that show, from Lock’n page I think.

That band is a hell of a lineup, Dead&Co who?
