Summary

This week's Dead show is more than just a classic 1977 show - its that for sure - and its much more than the first time we get an Eyes of the World going into an Estimated Prophet - although this show is the first time that happens too.. its the kind of magical, rocking, charging life affirming and soul-baring music that makes me fall in love with the Grateful Dead over and over again..

There's plenty to love in this set - the fine Samson->Cold rain starts the set perfectly.. the Playin' in the band builds and builds and then explodes into the Eyes of the World that is played at a real breakneck pace. While I'm not often a fan of Eyes played this way, Jerry's almost maniacal energy on this version can't fail but bring you up out of your feet - its almost 'hummingbird' like in the way he makes that guitar flitter and sing.. followed by a good Estimated, but then Phil drops the hammer and the band goes into a short, but intense, Other One...
after drums.. the band slowly builds into an Aiko, Aiko that is surprisingly slow-paced, but the band then drops into a classic 1977 Stella Blue, then a playin' reprise to end the set..
The encore tells us the band has had as much fun as we have...

0:26.6	then it's a really wonderful Samson and Delilah into cold rain and snow. Nice way to start
0:32.0	the second set, very well played. Then we go into a playon in the band. It's quite nice. It builds up really slowly, but builds it does and the music becomes more and more intense as the song progresses,
0:47.0	leading us into an eyes of the world that's played at one of the most breakneck speeds that I can recall and for one of these kind of eyes I was never a
0:56.3	fan of these up-tempo eyes but this one is really really well played I think you'll enjoy
1:10.0	Garcia's almost hummingbird sound at times on this song. It's enthralling. I really enjoy it. I know you will too. After the eyes they go into an estimated profit which is quite good and then a very short other one which is which is very nicely done but very short it's only about four minutes long into drums and then they come out of drums into a very long intro to a kind of a slow-tempo to Iko, which is quite pleasant, into a wonderful Stella Blue, and then they go back into a plane in the band, Reprise. The band follows with a Johnny Be Good encore as always stamping
