Wow !! ... Grateful Dead Fans !!! - and, naturally ... All Fellow Lovers ! of '77 G.D. !!!  Now here is a release !!!  I myself distinctly remember getting this Very-Special ! ' Bonus Disc CD ' in 2008 upon its initial & very well-anticipated release,  put the headphones in their rightful place ... nice & secure on my Dead-Head ! ... & then thought to myself -- where have YOU ? been all my life !?!  Whoa !!!  This is Ultra-Creative ! - Air-Tight ! - Blistering & Burning ! Grateful Dead at its Pure-Peak ! - at least to my ears.  I've always been a fanatic for 1977 Dead, and the  Pristine-of-Pristine in sound-quality - but, despite always trying to acquire as much of it as I possibly could on analog cassettes - I had never heard either of these 10/11/77 Oklahoma or 10/7/77 Albuquerque Shows, where Brilliant-tracks ! are featured throughout this " Bonus Disc ".  I had heard & owned the 10/16/77 Baton Rouge & 10/11/77 Hofheinz Shows, but it sure was a special-treat to hear them in masterfully remastered versions like this !!  Thanks Jeffrey Norman !  The track listing compiled on this Bonus CD is excellently arranged, and the sheer Live-cohesive & fluid Energy ! in this Music just speaks for itself - through & through - and through !  Look out for the heavy-duty Scarlet > Fire on this one Folks - I mean talk about Band & Crowd Energy ! uniting close to 50-years-ago ! at L.S.U. darn close to The Big Easy !  Holy Grateful Dead !!?!  This Loser at Hofheinz / Houston is a straight-up Garcia Travis Bean delivered high-treble lick burner !!  And as for the big-league " segment " chunk delivered on here?  Let the Set list segment here do just part of the talking, and let the Band ! do the rest !!  This is delivered from the New Mexico ( 10/7/77 ) segment on Tracks # 6 through # 9, just as follows ... - in true '77 Prime ! G.D. Fashion >>> Iko Iko > Wheel > Wharf Rat > Sugar Magnolia !!!  My oh my ...  If you love & collect fine '77 Grateful Dead archives, then this one you definitely must-have, without any question in the world !!!  --  Enjoy !!!!!
