Professor, I stumbled across deadpod on iTunes 2 years ago, and it changed my musical life. Been a casual Dead fan for years, but I've really discovered the depth of Americana they cover in some of their classic shows. I've sent in one donation, but its probably not enough compared to how much listening I do. I'll gladly contribute in the future. I hope life is treating you well. Particular favorites are spring 1977, and anything the dead have done with any of the Allman Brothers sitting in, such as RFK 1973. American music just doesn't get any better. The fusion of folk, blues, rock-n-roll, and the jazzy improvisations. Why am I telling you...You're the professor!

Love the previous comment, and could not agree more: they borrow upon all genres of American music in awe-inspiring fashion, and to delve into their lyrics and the stories they tell is a essentially a scholarly endeavor, and takes one on a comprehensive trip through not only Americana, but Western civilization in general.
Unfortunately, I found this set to be subpar. The band was rather loose at times, although they started to tighten up for the last two songs. Fortunately, they continued that trend in the second set, which I found to be quite masterful!

To build upon my previous comment, I would like to share that, as I wrote my comment for the second set of this show, I was inspired to stop and read a Robert Frost poem. See what I mean???

Ah they say in spring a young man's thoughts turn to .. well I guess I'm not that young.. my thoughts turn to the famous spring of '77 tour... This week we have the pleasure of listening to a newly released copy of a well known show from that spring, this comes to us from the Capitol Theater in Passaic NJ, compliments of well-known taper Jerry Moore...
Grateful Dead Venue Capitol Theatre Location Passaic, NJ Date 4/27/77 - Wednesday
One The Promised Land [4:06] ; Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo [8:41] ; Looks Like Rain [8:10] ; Sugaree [12:06] ; El Paso [4:39] ; Row Jimmy [9:17] ; New Minglewood Blues [4:53] ; Loser [8:08] ; The Music Never Stopped [6:55]
I never tire of hearing how tight and aware the band was during this time, and I hope you enjoy this week's show...
