This trio of songs is from the first stop on the Spring Tour of 1977, one of the finest and most consistently hot tours the Dead ever did.

    re: "too easy?"

    "Hint," nothing. Those songs were performed in that order by GD exactly once.

    Tuning

    A perhaps overlooked show as others from this tour have been so celebrated. Oddly (or perhaps not, given the overnight happenings), I found the extended break and tuning between Half-step and LLR to be an enjoyable, soothing interlude.
    And for those who decry her sometimes wailing, Donna's contributions here are splendid. Nice!
    The deal has gone down - so maybe we should all spend some hours enjoying the rest of this show and more from this tour - some of the best ever.
    Thanks David - we needed this!

    Agreed Donna and Bobby sounded wonderful in this rendition of LLR

Only one choice that I see, so that made fast work of it. And now...to kick back and float downstream.

finally had all night to get this one and it took two minutes. missed the first two nights, only had ten minutes to try yesterday's. rough start this year. does this version seem quiet to you? my pc is a dinosaur so i never know if it's me or the site. think it's been a little of both this far in.

Easy answers today, thanks Dave & Co. I needed it after last night. Do you think Jerry was excited for this tour?! Holy hell this Mississippi smokes!

I got that one! Woo-hoo. Only got two so far, well three counting today. Between you and others, and other hints, I got a good feel for it and once I got my archive selections sorted I was good to go. That's the fun of this contest.
Thanks and cheers

A great show from this tour. Solid playing all around. This date was a bit unknown or unmentioned on lists of shows from this time but well worth the whole experience. The build to the guitar solo section of Half Step here shows the excitement was high and band was really cooking well together.

I believe the the "first" appearance of a famous song pairing in this particular touring area (2nd overall) occurred at this show. And a fine version of the pairing it is.

The Blue stars of yesterday have faded to red skies this morning. Definitely Looks Like Rain. Goes to show you don't never know. Toodeloo till tomorrow Friends.(That Lemieux fellow has a wonderful sense of humor ;).

Indeed Red Skies ... my only solace is today's game and a first time to zero right in on the correct sequence on my first selection two days in a row. Things are going to get stranger, so let's got on with the show. No hints here just a little venting.

That hint kind of narrowed it down a bit. Probably a good thing, my brain is not firing properly today.

Goes to show, you don't ever know.
Pleasantly surprised to see I won Day 5. It's been a while since I won in the 30 Days.
Today's it certainly much easier than the last few days.
You and me bound to spend some time on these next 23 Days.
Thanks again David!

Get yourself a powder charge and seal that silver mine"
