Grateful Dead archivist Dick Latvala considered this show to be the finest outing on the entire Spring 1977 tour, and, as any Dead Head knows, that is high praise indeed! At the time this was released on CD, the Dead weren't sure a market existed (ha!) for three and four-CD packages, so this four-LP set leaves off eight songs from the show, but consider what songs are here: a phenomenal 'Help on the Way'/'Slipknot!'/'Franklin's Tower' comes after one of the definitive renditions of 'Sugaree' and a terrific 'The Music Never Stopped,' with Phil Lesh's slithering bass leading the way in recording engineer's Betty Cantor-Jackson's mix.
