Grateful Dead Live at The Sportatorium on 5-22-1977
Forums:
When someone says what is special about 77, and in particular May 77, I say start here Then head to Buffalo on 5-9, stop by Boston on your way to Baltimore and then Chicago. Now, I saw the tour opener at the good ole Spectrum 4-22-77 and while its a haze all these years later, they just got better each show, so Philly wasn't as hot as some of the others. Then I toss Cornell in the mix somewhere--maybe in the top 60% of that spring tour, but not the holly grail as some say, IMHO.

Those early Wolf shows after th Travis Bean was relegated to collection back at Club Le Front were great. My friends brother played a T Bean and I just remember how heavy that fucker was
