Dick's ReviewAfter a few hearings I remain pretty convinced that this is the best show I’ve yet heard from the 1977 tour. Of course there are shows where they are excellent on some of the above tunes but overall, I haven’t heard a finer show. Every song is done well and what is especially nice is that they put extra charge into some of their age-old standards that usually always sound the same. The jam that ends the 2nd set is outstanding. It has to be one of the best Not Fade Away I’ve ever heard. The quality is very excellent, it “sparkles” with clarity. I almost forgot to mention that Morning Dew was possibly the best version yet with a burning finish, in many ways similar to the ending rush of Casey Jones

Dick's 2nd ReviewEnough can’t be said about this superb show. The Morning Dew is without any doubt the most rousing and thrilling one ever. The quality is excellent regardless what Rob Bertrando may say
