Although I agree, that one at Cornell in particularly good I was lucky enough to have seen this at least 3 times back then with the last one at Winterland 1978-10-20(Fri) being the best; even though I still can see clearly in color in my mind at my 1st show (2nd day opening for The Who) Garcia with his foot on the wah-wah playing slide, something I don't think I ever saw again!
@MattL0318 was 5 8 77 at Cornell in Ithaca, NY?? My college buddy had a tape from around that time of dancing..it was the last song of the first set...it was freaking epic
@jgfunk Will do. Thanks for the heads-up. Also, if you haven't already, be sure to check out 1977-10-29 from Northern Illinois University. It's freakin' brilliant and I've never heard "Eyes" played that way.
Thank you so much for all of the clips you've posted. I'm smiling bigger than I have in a long time remembering the days with my friends and the Dead!
Thanks so much for uploading this..!

I'd say the entire spring '77 tour was exceptionally amazing as well as legendary...

Doesn't hold a candle to "Dancin" from 5-8-77. :-)

@MattL0318 yeah 5-8-77 is probably the best, but there's another one that is really underrated. Cape Cod Coliseum 10-27-79. Check it out folks

this might be a rare case where i actually like the album version better. the horns in the album version really bring it out
