My only debut, still remember hearing the opening and thinking - whoa, this is something different, wonder where it's going.

[@dondraper217]

That's awesome. This has become by far my favorite version. Do you recall the feel of the crowd after the song or Estimated Prophet?

[@davidadams722]

@@dondraper217 Terrapin opened without the familiar whistles and greetings that familiar favorites are met with. I know my response was "whoa, this is something new" then being carried away by the magical mix of story and music. Estimated Prophet was much the same, but the crowd was more prepped for new stuff. Sure is nice to have the whole thing available.

[@YogsenForfoth]

This is an absolute masterpiece. Makes me emotional every time I hear it. ❤

[@jaquestraw1]

My first show 💖

[@bensisneroz7027]

The Dead's best year IMHO. They were really on point and Jerrys Voice was top notch.

[@jamesschmidt2817]

Agreed!

1972-1973??? 1977 was pretty awesome.

Happy 44th Anniversary to STILL the best live Terrapin evah 💜💜💜

[@mikeflynn7242]

Matthew Jay, thank you for agreeing with that notion that did not just cross my mind.

ceck out bobby and wolf doing the full suite

I just looked up the best version of this, and this is it. I did 25 shows in 2 years in 88/89. I was in Philly during shakedown street era. Because I was "experienced" some of those shows were tremendous, but I'll allow it. XD.

[@arareanddifferenttune3130]

I read that Hunter when Robert Hunter heard the Dead play this for the first time this night he said he felt he was closest to being on this earth to do what he was supposed to do and that just chokes me up

[@smartalek180]

[bows in deepest appreciation for promoting this little slice of history here... & bows again for doing so in the REAL hifi bitrate it demands]

[@dondraper217]

No doubt it is an amazing piece! I can't hear it enough.

[@porterhouse7260]

Best Terrapin, and Estimated IMO! Many other great ones followed!

[@Bob-yl9pm]

Greatful Dead, you allways have the best smooth full-range audio, sound awesome!

[@Hartlor_Tayley]

Fantastic song.

[@jamesmarquette7174]

[@Bob-yl9pm]

Clean Audio, Thank you

[@PassiveAggressive._.]

The first live performance is also the best

[@Bob-yl9pm]

We love you

[@robertarthur887]

I think that KZbin has been hiding this from me,- perhaps saving it for when I needed it? Thank you, YT.

[@spuddougherty7860]

I remember thinking I was the shit when I had the tapes of this show in 1985. So great!

How is first played also the best played? The band was firing.

[@Player-125]

Didn’t they open with it the first time they played it?

[@hpatss4966]

Yes

[@treyfisse8593]

Such a prized collaboration and gives the fuck you to time. It’s a Terrapin that comes from a place where it was meant to be.

[@KyleMaxwell730]

Yes this is that exact version. Very beautiful

I'm really concerned about this up-coming election, I fear for our beautiful nation

Remember Ken Kesey (The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test)? Something to do with a colorful bus and an Ampex recorder?... Do Not cancel-out your Serotonin... It's your master mixer neurotransmitter! Tried LSD ~50 yrs. ago, been running away from its infuence, ever since! Scary when you lose self control... your ego's are more than welcome here! (how else can we have great sex) Yeah, we can argue politics and disagree, but it's ok, thank you for being you!
