It’s only missing Garcia’s vocals for the first two songs but you can still hear him play. If you don’t have the patience to wait through the first 13 minutes out of a three hour show to hear him sing, just go here 13:10.

[@jeffery8928]

Thanks. I can wait. 😁

[@davenunyabusiness4893]

the pained expression on their faces tho...

[@Rave0851]

It's definitely worth the wait. For the lights too!

[@home2443]

that was so fascinating to watch though - 100/100 other bands would have stopped and threw a tantrum

[@tumbleweed9594]

Voodoonola....you are by far my favorite you tuber. The stuff legends are made of, your name is carved in ice and wind.

[@randygarner44]

+Tumble Weed One man gathers what another man spills, and I'm gathering it all! Thanks Voodooo!

[@jpconnolly831]

When I want to listen/see a show from the 80's i go to Voodoonola youtube page first now, before I do a general search. Seems this one Voodoonola's page I am sure to get quality audio!!!!

One of the greatest Dead shows on KZbin

[@aaspendlove]

Absolutely true!

[@aaspendlove]

Bands diggin everything, fantastic crowd to by way!!

[@rm1133]

The energy was smoking at this one. Often when the Dead played a college campus, they’d get that extra bolt of lightning and it would show up in their performances. Although, I do think they got that extra bolt of energy from other sources as well on this night. 👃

[@cameronrbrown]

probably

[@emmikoloski7270]

THIS SHOW DESERVES A COMMENT IN ALL CAPS.

[@sneakerfacevids441]

EM Mikoloski Okay, let’s see one !

[@RimJobJesus369]

MF DOOM

[@IwanttoliveinParis]

That just might be the best US Blues I've ever seen/heard. Jerry was on Fire.

[@paulmegna210]

I cannot agree more. Jerry is like a little kid who just learned to play his first song!!

[@jasonpope4828]

The most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life

[@STSGuitar16]

It's actually the top rated US Blues on Headyversion as well, so you certainly aren't the only one who feels that way.

[@edburns00]

FWIW I found this video from headyversion.com, which has this U.S. Blues voted as the best one ever. I agree.

[@danielgehrhardt112]

I love the Grateful Dead and I love you all too!

[@BrandonPetrucci]

I love the look on Jerry's face during the solo on Bertha, I can only imagine the cocktail of party favors that he had ingested that night...

[@gregfield3730]

My first Dead concert. I was 18 yrs old. They had me at the opening song, Jack Straw, who shot me down in Wichita.

[@maryvlockman]

Oh so long since I have seen Donna. We loved her so. We all felt like we could sing for the band too. We had long hair down below our waists and fingers were slender and our waists we know they were small. But it would not make us tremble to see 10,000 fall. Not with Jerry by our side.

[@toniwaghorn3593]

+Mary Lockman Bravo!!

[@sunshinenblues]

+Mary Lockman go back to college! that's what Bob Weir said to me after i spent two nights with the band....Mary, we are responding to Donna's talent not her appearance. in the sixties things were nothing to do with looks. and as far as i know...i never heard a worse howl than Donna's. i give my apology in advance YT!

[@mattchalmers8678]

+Mary Lockman Between the Grateful Dead and the Methow, I think you have found yourself a glorious path!

[@charlie.something]

thanks mary, you made me smile.

[@bridgmjm]

I'm with you Sunshine. Did not care for Donna's stage presents and performance. Not a problem. Still love the music.

[@grifftrain]

how could anyone not like Grateful Dead?

[@edcee1134]

ala Seinfeld

[@someotherdude]

After hearing the Grateful Dead, how could anyone like Phish?

[@tonydanis1480]

Some Other Dude I know, it's a shame all the Phish-heads didn't get a crack at listening to the Dead first. After 200+ Dead shows, I saw my first Phish show. I was open-minded and eager to compare the two bands. Phish was fine and enjoyable but, my God, the level of complexity and sophistication between the two groups is vast. Phish simply never caught up.

[@arcocola8183]

grifftrain - when you listen to Ozric Tentacles. You can't even hear the Dead sorry breh

[@CubensisRecords]

please... Ozric couldn't write a decent lyric or memorable song to save their lives, it's just prog rock with 80's-90's electronica

[@rm1133]

That solo in Bertha is Just Exactly Perfect. Not a single note out of place. Jerry smiling all along and showing a perfect example of what he meant when he would talk about those certain ideal moments in time when he wasn't even aware and the music was simply playing him. He just happened to be the vehicle that was transmitting it for all of us to appreciate. Like when Michael Jordan could not miss. 1:12:59 - 1:14:56. Almost 2 minutes of pure bliss.

[@NACIJUK]

+rm1133 that really is a nice bit. also nice to have video and see JG enjoying it so much.

[@toniwaghorn3593]

+NACIJUK Love it when the band are smiling ... which was often

[@joshmuzny54]

so so so right about an hour 12~15 dope jamd

[@rm1133]

It's almost as if at 1:13:56 Jerry is thinking to himself, "yup, I got it now, here we go."

[@ChristopherFontes]

rm1133 totally true

[@JabYoFace]

What's Dead may never die

[@NowhereMan7]

It's "What is dead may never die". It doesn't sound good at all abbreviated like that.

The quintessential Peggy O.. Our favorite band at the top of their game.. Too beautiful for words!!

[@JoshMillerphoto]

Excellent remaster. thank you very much.

Jerry on drums. Didn't see that coming.

[@christinayork6171]

The expressions on Jerry's face just melts my heart.......

[@Spacecowboy42]

2:33:15. most epic drum stick toss ever

Voodoonola Oh thank you again, this is saving my life today , it’s just precious to me. I started going to shows early 70s as a teen , it saved my life then.

[@stevesobel4521]

Not usually a big Donna person. But I kind of love her in this video. She sounds good. And must of been a bit of a relief for the boys. "Thank God they have something to look at that's not us."

[@JoshMillerphoto]

New Minglewood Blues A+++++ Garcia on FIRE

[@vivianstanshall8121]

2:33:00 Best Band Ever!

[@medshow3]

I was at this gig with my H.S. crew. Graduated the next month ! It was easy for me to miss school as I had already been barred from school grounds and graduation ceremony. Did my homework and got my diploma. A classic ending to a HEAVY (and awesome !) H.S. career.

[@medshow3]

P.S. One month short of my 5 year anniversary of my first show.

[@andrewsimser67]

Best Loser Solo I've heard in my brief 24 trips around the sun. OH YEAH~~~~~~ also, love the marching band whistle to start Truckin. Im happy I listened all the way through Drums (not always the case) peace yall!

[@DLinberg]

Why this show isn't listed as one of the Pantheon Top 10-type shows is beyond me. The energy is off the charts and Jerry is in FULL ON rock star mode pretty much the whole show

[@rm1133]

+D Linberg It's gotta be the fact that Jerry's vocal mic was off for the first few songs. Otherwise I am sure it would've been an official release. Although they did tell me this show is not in their vault when I emailed them about it.

[@paulmegna210]

as I have been posting all along in the show's commentary, I agree with you about jerry being in that rare air of what he was yet hid so well, rock star god.

[@andrewptob]

D Linberg It’s definitely one of my top 5. The fact there’s video makes it even more special, too. It also happens to be the exact day my older brother was born.

[@timbloemsaat2598]

When Jerry rips the US Blues solo at 2:58:12! Oh my god.

[@guitarpiospace2371]

Holy windmills Garcia!!

[@whomroy]

Loved these days , this show is a lot like 5/7/77 ,Jerry got both feet off the ground on that US Blues . Thought they would never end ! Thank God for Betty and all the tapers !

[@lyrixandlicks3029]

+charles forker 5/7/77....Cornell? if so, yeah..... killer show

[@tackosmells8208]

this one is better then cornell its just cornell has the best audio to recordings. So i dont think cornell is that good

[@gregoryswift9573]

Cornell is 5/8 i thought.

[@philiplinander3890]

Holy shit y’all, just took a run and was back home for Jerry to lay it ALL FUCKING OUT in Row Jimmy

[@JohnMoore-qv4vn]

I listen and watch this too often not to thank you again for this upload.

[@mikerubin22]

voodoonola thanks so much for sharing these videos; I'm an old man now, but, my college years were filled with over 150 dead shows....THANK YOU, YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!

[@RossMadden]

My Dad was a student at Duke... Didn't go to the concert, just said a week before weird people started showing up.

[@daveyboy8907]

Ross Madden WHat he did not understand was that these "weird people" actually thought for theirselves and did not need to be spoonfed what or who to beleive....Maybe he should have opened his mind and lived a little more free....

[@andrewptob]

Daveyboy What a horrible response. That was an amusing post. The guy’s dad was just a student doing his college thing. What makes you think he was so judgemental? He simply said weird people starting showing up and, yeah, newsflash, Dead fans included some pretty odd people.

[@fatmanrocked]

I was a Student at Emory. Went to the 4/10 & 4/11 shows at the Fox, then trucked up to our academic rival to the North :)

[@lyrixandlicks3029]

thanks so much for this amazing show! Mom was6 months preggers with me in Fayetteville this night.... otherwise I would've made it out! entire first set was classic! Loved the Loser! I'm on second set now grooving to Ms. Bertha

[@paulmegna210]

thanks for your posts LL302. that bertha is great and was the first GD tune I heard at 12 in the 80's. Love the signature dead lyrics and music that meld together as well as any other song in their infinitely majestic catalogue

[@jwfraz]

Oh man...Bertha. Jerry looks so happy 1:12:59 for the solo. He gets pretty excited and by 1:14 he is beaming like he is as happy to hear the music flowing through him as we are. I love it.

[@raiturner863]

[@Jte338]

Thanks for uploading!

[@rca88]

estimated prophet! great version!

[@lettersfromhelen]

Great karaoke version of Dire Wolf.

[@brianfrickinmeehar8650]

I like the tones of the Dead's instruments, it's soothing to the ears. They also play sophisticated songs without using the typical three and four chords that most other bands use. Their song structure and lyrics are amazingly genius! Although their performances were often flawed, their music is some of the finest American music ever made! Thank you Voodoonola for another enjoyable show!

[@AllanOstermann]

I wasn't there. I remember it fondly :)

[@rm1133]

It’s such a minor, simple thing but 1:33:05, Jerry and Bob and a few seconds later Phil are working out the rest of the 2nd set setlist; which is so great. They would have a rough idea but everything was up in the air when they hit the stage. At that point, clearly they working out the big jamming songs of the night as the rest of the show was continuous one song into another without a break. Clearly a band working on the fly and without a net and open to whatever direction the music would take them. Which is one of the reasons they developed such a dedicated, fervent fan base. There was no other band that did it this way.

[@SDPanic1]

This is just amazing stuff with the band in top form. We are so lucky to have this video/audio available to us. THANK YOU!!!!!

[@RobertChampion1]

One of my fav shows! 77-78 is home base for me. Listen to Row Jimmy--it's a ballad, but Mickey and Billy just power the thing right off the stage. Funkingruvin man!!!

[@matthewgray6572]

What an opener! Jack Straw...my all-time favorite! Gave me goosebumps watching Bobby & Jerry in sync as they stepped back & forth together and ripped those guitar licks! Thanks Voodoonola2!

[@jameshauer8554]

I was having the same feeling at that moment you mentioned. "Goosebumps" is the perfect description. I was about 1.5 years into seeing shows at this time in 1978 and this set list takes me back to those magical days. Jack Straw was the first Dead tune I learned play and have performed it uncountable times by now.

[@akaufmanbmrly1]

Row Jimmy is so great. WOW!!!! Almost 35 minutes into the show. Just WOW!!! Even when they speed the end up...MAGIC

[@deweygill1973]

Donna sounds great here. She steps up and owns Row Jimmy, taking the lead near the end, as Jerry is still having minor voice struggles after his laryngitis issues earlier in the year

[@richardalmstead8803]

You are the best of the best u tuber I agree with dude!!! Thankyou for you work and dedication your shows never get old to me!!! I listen and watch them over and over this 4/12/78 Duke show is one of my favorites even though it seems like they forget some lyrics or you just can’t hear them!!! Lol

[@kenhill190]

Wait a minute !!!!! Second crescendo in the Truckin' jam....Garcia's "windmilling like Pete Townshend...... ....this is a great Dead show..... I'm 62 yrs. old....1st show was 8-12-1972 & I can spot a good one when I see it....this one's a great one !!!!

[@virginiastephenson6255]
