Thanks :)

I played about 8 different Throwing Stones and a few Terrapins from the same shows.
I'd like to make a CD or 3 of all Throwing Stones that I like best.

Yup. I like it that much.

I made a Tull CD of just Wondring Aloud & Wondring Again repeated about 10 times.
I occasionaly play it for a few dozen minutes or so when I'm driving around.

Find the "best" versions of Dead songs at http://headyversion.com

I just found it and haven't even browsed it yet.
Anyone know of this site? It looks promising.

I know it's just a bunch of opinions but it could be helpful :dunno:

It's a very popular show, and a very good one, but personally I think there are better shows in May 1977 that that one. JMO of course.

I don't disagree but everyone's opinion will be different.
Different tastes call for different setlists, etc...
I love all the 77 stuff and I'm a big 5/8/77 fan :thmbsp:

Last night I was cranking Live at The Palladium on April 30, 1977 (DL Series Vol 1) out of my car while I waxed it.
Great setlist, performance & sound. It helped to offset the well earned streams of sweat running out of me.

It's a Chevy HHR SS and it's friggin big! I think I should have gotten the Cobalt SS every time I have to wax it :arrow:

Others have said the same thing and it certainly is subjective. None the less, I have yet to find one that equals 5/8/77. I think it is the best of that particular era. Best overall? That is impossible to determine and thankfully so.:music:
 
And to be clear, I very much enjoy 5/8. May 77 was an unbelievably good month for the GD. Kinda like 11/73 - pretty much every show was great.

Nonetheless, I prefer 5/19/77 by a VERY wide margin. But again, JMO, YMMV, etc etc.

Ithaca '77 is, for good reason, a benchmark for Grateful Dead shows. Scar>Fire is liquid and legendary. I have not heard a better version of Scar>Fire and I have searched for over 20 years.

Plus, the SBD of the show, especially the Rob Eaton version, is phenomenal.

There are other periods ('69, '70, and '72, especially) that I dig over '77, but 5/8/77 transcends its time period. In contrast, Red Rocks '78 is fantastic, but still placed firmly in 1978.

Right now I've got the 6/18/74 show spinning.
