GD 5/15/77 & 5/17/77

The shows for today are a continuation are the Spring Tour of 1977.  This tour is considered one of the best.  The first show (5/15/77) features the very first Iko Iko.  The next show (5/17/77) has the finest version of  Jack-A-Roe ever performed.  In a year that has so many great performances, it truly is hard to pick out the shiny examples.  This is what I would like to focus on instead of my shortcomings.  After all, it really is about the music.  This is my lifeblood.


Music for today:

Grateful Dead

The copy that I have is a Charlie Miller remaster.  Since it is not available at LMA, this recording will come close to the sonic quality.
