Grateful Dead - 1977-03-18 -  San Francisco CA (SBD)

1977:  Regular readers of this blog are sure to know 2 things – I’m a Deadhead and I believe 1977 was the band’s finest year. The amazing journey known as 1977 started with concerts on February 26 in San Bernadino and February 27 in Santa Barbara. At those shows, the Dead debuted Estimated Prophet and Terrapin Station from their soon to be released new album. After a 2 week break, the Dead then took up residence for 3 nights at one of their favorite venues, Winterland in San Francisco, in mid-March. This soundboard recording captures the first of those 3 shows, on March 18, 1977,  4 decades ago this very day. This show features the debut of Fire on The Mountain, in what would soon become its traditional position, following Scarlet Begonias. The Scarlet > Fire combo became ubiquitous in the band’s set lists over the next 18 years, but on this night it was brand new and the future jamming possibilities seemed infinite. Download this one to hear the Dead at the start of one of the great runs of their long strange trip, then come back tomorrow and the next day for the next 2 nights of this run.

Thanks for the show. Much gratitude. Why not credit Arizona Jones on the sweet covers? Long may he ride.

Thanks for the compliment. AZ Jones is a good buddy of mine and he and I shared shows all the time. These are his covers for this show and I'm greatly appreciative of them.

A little late to the party here, but if you haven't heard this show, GET IT NOW. My favorite Sugaree and Half Step, and I've listened to them all. Unbelievable and unique Jerry solo in Half Step, and just wonderful Jerry/Keith interplay throughout the Sugaree. Plus one of the few Scarlet>Fires before Bobby took up slide guitar.

As I have said countless times in the last few weeks, I simply do not have the time to repost a never ending list of links. If you have a show you really want, I'll try to repost it, but if you continue to simply post one "link rip" after another, I simply a don't have time to deal with it. Sorry but I have a life besides this blog

A fabulous show for those wanting to start their journey off with 77 Grateful Dead magic. To my knowledge this show features the only performance of Terrapin Station > Alhambra (minus the orchestration that was on the album as well). Too bad they didn't continue with this, Phil is a monster!

1977 was truly special. Hard to believe its 4 decades since the Dead's incredible 1977 run and a half century since their first album and the Summer Of Love.
