Equinox written by Phil Lesh....sung by Jerry Garcia (lyrics) She reclines, closing her eyes The sun that set is bound to rise Night birds and fireflies settle around her Days grow long, spring is here Waterfalls will shine again Our minds have gone down stream Shooting the rapids {Verse 2} Oh, the arctic flame Bright as the eye of a hurricane We're all just the same growing children Every moment is perfect, every sound is a jewel Every man ais a prophet at the mercy of a fool {Verse 3} Watch the seasons go, as sunshine turns to cold snow Chill in the hard rain, numbers of tomorrow The great globe spins, the music starts Every beat knows its part To keep it spinning in a circle Every moment is perfect, every eye is a jewel Every man is a prophet with the mercy of a fool ❤⚡💙 ✌🏽🏴‍☠️☮️🌹

But Donna'd still sing you love songs, written in the letters of your name. Just shy of 44 minutes 43:45 , the 44 calibah Killah. Phil driving the bus this entire time, oftentimes not seemingly so, a la Ken Kesey . 🥁🎹🧊💙💚❤💛🚎🚍

[@xneapolisx]

Garcias! 😊 This show is killer from start to finish!!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@RicoSuave8]

Thank you, Susie!! ❤️ What a gem!! 🔥 🐢 🌅

[@njnature]

Susie Fairfield, you're the 👸of the town, my landscape would be empty if you were gone. Who is Susie Fairfield, and why am I following her? Susie, you're also the toast of the town.

[@thadcashin6962]

Hey Susie, "Grateful"ly appreciated for sure. Later Peace ✌️

[@kennethdeanmiller7324]

Yeah, this show is without a doubt a gem. I didn't even know that they had played in Tuscaloosa in 77 until I saw this! Wall of Sound is great! Thanks for posting this!!

[@briansolomon983]

What a beautiful Jack-a-roe!🎼🎵🎶❤️❤️🇨🇦👍😁😎🚴

[@dedhippi]

I heard that elephants in Africa had tight tusks but in Alabama the Tuscaloosa... thx for posting. Btw I was paraphrasing Groucho Marx with tusk ref. Probably older than all of you and even older than me. Peace and hope

[@christophercampbell1677]

Lol classic cheers Bama from Cleveland. Great show 1st time hearing it. Some rare stuff

[@vpaczkowski]

I heard it was the mountain dew that made the tuscaloosa.

[@albertlobbato1762]

This might be my favorite of all the Spring 77 shows...for today at least 🧡💚💙

[@ajisstillright]

This is my all time favorite 1977 show!!!! Surprised it's on KZbin! Amazing SBD quality, going to download before it gets stripped off ❤️👏🔥 Thank you A TON!!!

[@Matt-mj2gk]

this is phenomenal. why did i not hear of this show before? I am so fortunate and blessed-when it comes to amount of music to check out. Seems endless sometimes... Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible. all of you

[@derekb192]

The Grateful Dead are like a warm hug from Grandma. Grandma is gone but these shows live on as timeless music. The night before the legendary Fox Theater show in Atlanta, this show is underrated in a month of superb shows. The fills, the passion, the cohesion are all unforgettable. A must listen. A masterpiece. May ‘77 has their best of the best, in my opinion.

[@tommathews3964]

2 friends and I headed up to T Town from Mobile for this show. Completely blown away, we held a short post show pow wow and decided to do the only logical thing…..head for Atlanta with $19 in our pockets between us! I’ve got a cabin in Eastaboga (on the way) and we crashed there for most of the next day and limped into Atlanta at about 6 Friday night. Found tickets almost immediately and settled in. Slept in the dang bushes in Piedmont Park Friday (don’t tell anyone!) and set out Sat morning for tickets, which we got at a local record shop. Burned it down Sat, back to my cabin and on to Mobile Sunday. Piece of cake! 🤣😎

[@landonjacobcooper661]

Im 18 Tuscaloosa is my hometown just got into the dead some talk about the feeling of hearing the Beatles for the first time I like them just fine but when I heard the dead for the first time just a few days ago it changed me I knew something deep inside me was changing it was like a spiritual awakening anyone have any recommendations of where I should start of I've only heard a few songs what albums do I start with any recommendations would be greatly appreciated I wanna be a deadhead

[@derekb192]

Listen to any show from May 1977 and then branch out from there. So many wonderful shows, each is different. And read the comments. Lots of long time dead head stories in the weeds.

[@dedhippi]

You've already started. I love when it happens to those who appreciate it. The doors are open...

[@peace-c2r]

Or go the Rob't Hunter source and hear Promontory Rider, or Pigpen's Mr. Charlie. Then remember, we're all Eyes of the World & need a whole New Speedway Boogie

[@DavidAcevedoAlvaro]

Do the Dead have albums? Did they record anything? Not aware hahahaha. My favorite era is 73 till 77 , then 71-72 and 78 til about 91 , the rest i think is ok depending on the show

[@dacethejackofhearts7209]

They say that jerry and brent fed off each other but the magic between jerry and Keith here is undeniable

[@stefanierichardson8716]

Keith is absolutely on 🔥 here. I ❤️ it!

[@timothyryan6018]

I saw my First Dead Show a Year later - May 1978, at Philly Spectrum. Donna giving Bobby the Side-Eye all nite- Jerry snorting next to his Amp. Blew my 14 yr olde MIND in TWO! Thx for the Memories GDTLP!!

My 1st… The Spectrum, Philly 4/22/77!

The jack-a-roe is all time. Gets my fucking wheels and spirit firing off on all cylinders

[@jackjob9528]

Thanks for putting this up. Donna sounded pretty good tonight.

[@johngalt6838]

She was really good in 1977 imo.......must have had good monitors

[@stratusfractus]

Best versions of some of their songs! Timeless music for mind and ears!!

[@njnature]

Thanks! Love the tapestry, it reminds me of Jon Fishman

[@feetheweasel]

Maybe the most overlooked and underrated show from May 77'. Its my all-time favorite. Followed closely by Alpine Valley 89' and Deer Creek 90'

[@dedhippi]

they're probably still talking about this in Tuscaloosa...

[@YellowJeep]

Another fantastic '77 show

[@bluebear1654]

One of my favorite years. Thanks much…!!!

[@fordprefect7316]

Love this show. Great jack straw

[@matthewmaurysmith2486]

I LOVE these funky jazzy intros they were doing in "Jack a Roe" at this time

[@Woodland320]

Donna singing in her home state, and they are singing Tennessee Tennessee ain't no place I'd rather be in the home town of the Crimson Tide.

[@Hartlor_Tayley]

This is great thanks
