April 29, 1977 - New Set 2 Soundboard Tracks Trickling Out
Nice!
This fine fine show seems to be on your radar Dave.
Made my morning that you posted some more of the SBD material that isn't previously in circulation.
I don't think the Wharf Rat > Around And Around tracks had seen the light of day before (or maybe I missed 'em).
So far I believe the following SBD Tracks from this show have made it out:
Set 1 -
Help On The Way > Slipknot! > Franklin's Tower (Pre-2012 Taper's Section. Mine is mislabeled 4/30/77, but I'm 99.9% sure it's from 4/29/77. Compared it to the Audience tape and they sounded the same.)
New Minglewood Blues (Pre-2012 Taper's Section)
Cassidy (Pre-2012 Taper's Section)
Set 2 -
Samson & Delilah, Sugaree > El Paso, Brown Eyed Women (Taper's Section 1/30/17)
Scarlet Begonias > Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad (Digital Download Series Bonus Tracks)
Drums > The Wheel > Wharf Rat > Around And Around, Uncle John's Band (Taper's Section 10/12/20)
By the way, thanks so much for the Taper's Section. Stumbled on to it in 2012ish, and it's helped me discover countless hours of Dead material and really makes Monday mornings great. I look forward to it every week.
Thanks for all the tunes. Keep 'em coming!
I was there, front row center with the future Mrs. Big at my side. After "Roses" she placed a dozen long-stemmed red roses on the stage in front of Jerry, and he gave her a big smile. We were part of a large group that had camped out for these tickets.
Nice!
