I just saw DSO play this show last night. It is a very strange show but by far one of my favorites. I highly suggest you find the original show by the Dead and play the hell out of it. Very Cool!!

I have this show, and the Who show that goes with it, from the 20th anniversary Hanno Bunjes seed. This is the best, most complete version there is, without a shred of doubt.
It is in shn format, for guaranteed flawess clone transfers.
I would be willing to trade or b&p this to you if you can convince me you are not going to sell it.

This show was broadcast on TV and Radio in Europe (along with the other act, a little band from London called the Who). Pete Townshend sits in on three songs, Not Fade Away, Wharf Rat,Around And Around. Excellent show available in great sound.

I taped this over the FM broadcast while stationed in the Fatherland. This was the definitive concert by which I judged all others.

Deal was awesome...Althea, and without question THE best Sugaree I've ever heard.

thi certainly is a great show...but i want y'all who have the video of this to watch garcia's jaw when he's singing post-space especially during WHARF RAT....it looks like his drumz break went up in coke (in one form or another)...it actually is a little disturbing to watch after a while....

Bubba, check out the 5/22/77 Sugaree. Also incredible
-Anonymous (02/17/2008)


Pete looks really cool in the video....the Godfather of Punk for sure....Garcia on the other hand looks horrible....fat, greasy, and bloated.....and obviously under the influence of blow as evidenced by the jaw action....

German fans clapping through songs like their lives depend on it throughout this whole show

The Rockpalast live broadcast from the Grugahalle in Essen West Germany was also transmitted to East Germany. In Leipzig, a Rockpalast party was held in a squatted house. However, the People's Police arrived and took everyone away. The repression continued at the police station. The freaks had to walk through a cordon of police officers who beat them with their truncheons. Afterwards they had to stand in the yard all night. It was one of the most brutal police actions in East Germany ever.
