Music reviews of To Terrapin: May 28, 1977 Hartford, CT
Music Review: Good, but not Great-ful Dead.
Rating: 3 Stars
I love the Grateful Dead. They're one of my favorite bands. I'll say that right off the bat so you don't think I'm a hater.
I've got a ton of official Dead live releases and 10 times as many (or more) nonofficial live bootlegs. 1977 was a good year for Dead and May was the best month of that year for live stuff. That said, this show turned out to me to be a disappointment: The soundboard recording is not terribly mixed well, the band doesn't play all that great (screwups all over the place) and the playing isn't as inspired as other shows from the May 77 run. This may have been a show Deadheads were itching to have released, but to my ears there were other May 77 shows that are much much better than this one.
There are many more wonderful Dick's Picks or vault recordings to go after well before getting to this one. For the newbie, steer clear and go get the classic first week run of 5/7, 5/8 and 5/9/77. You'll thank me later.
BTW, I have no idea how anyone in their right mind can give this show a perfect 5 stars. You should know better. And the 20 minute Sugaree that toots everybody's horn on these reviews? Sure, it's the longest Sugaree ever--but is it the BEST??? That's what counts...
Love the Dead, I just don't love this particular night all that much. 1977 gets overhyped sometimes. 1971-72 is better, but that's a different argument altogether...
Description of To Terrapin: May 28, 1977 Hartford, CT
As they were prepping for the summer release of their first studio album in two years, Terrapin Station (a Top 40 Billboard album), the Grateful Dead blew the roof off Connecticut's Hartford Civic Center on the closing night of their spring '77 tour. A show long sought after by Dead fans, the set features inspired versions of songs that would soon come out on Terrapin, including 'Estimated Prophet,' 'Passenger,' and the title track. Epic jams also include, of course, 'One More Saturday Night,' 'Jack Straw,' 'Candyman,' 'U.S. Blues,' and takes on 'Tennessee Jed' and 'Sugaree' that many fans claim are as good as any ever recorded. Released in celebration of the Dead's '09 tour which plays Hartford and presented in HDCD, the recordings from this previously unissued show were mastered from the original two track master analog tapes.Album-Oriented Rock (AOR) CDs
