True., (exact broadcast copy off the airwaves), ...the other copies of 10-6-77 are a mix of shows from the same tour with SOME of 10-6-77, (usually Black Peter & NFA ARE from 10-6-77), (I may be wrong ^ but - I don't think so ?), All other copies/versions are mixes from same tour put together to form what looks like the 10-6-77 show. There are legit reasons to have ALL sources for the date. The 77476 FM is the most complete version of the real 10-6-77., The not real versions contain maybe 2 tracks that are REALLY from 10-6-77 & in better quality than the 77476. So, it's good to have ALL ID's., ONLY the 2 tracks are from the real 10-6-77., 77476 = most real complete version (a must have), All others = better quality but fake except for 2 tracks." ***

xx/xx/77Road Trips - Volume 1 Number 2
 shows, albuquerque, nm - 10/7/77, norman, ok - 10/11/77, houston, tx - 10/14/77, baton rouge, la - 10/16/77ah yes, the glorious year of 1977, a favorite of discerning dead heads for three decades now! for the second volume in our new road trips series, we've chosen another tour that was not tapped previously through dick's picks, a blazing swing through the southwest, colorado and down to louisiana during the first weeks of october 1977., this was a great time for the band: both the years-in-the-making grateful dead movie and the new terrapin station album had come out a few months earlier and the group was riding high on momentum from both of those projects. there was exciting new material that had debuted at the beginning of the year, including, estimated prophet, terrapin, and, fire on the mountain, and steady touring through the spring allowed the band to really explore the nuances of the new repertoire, while they also continued to hone the material that had come in following the band's return to the stage in mid-1976 after their hiatus. what you'll find on these great-sounding discs is a mixture of old favorites played with that fabled '77 energy, and more recent material that was hitting new peaks nightly. there's a, let it grow, that will knock your tie-dyed socks off, one of the great versions of, sugaree, of that or any year, the famous, help on the way > slipknot! > franklin's tower, from norman, oklahoma, epic workouts on, playing in the band, and, the other one, and a jammed-out, black peter, for the ages. hot stuff!, as always with road trips, if you order now (as they say on late-night tv), we will also include a 12-piece set of steak knives, no, wait a second, that's not right. we'll also include a special limited edition bonus disc with a dazzling plethora of other tunes from the same tour, including a wicked, scarlet> fire, (from baton rouge) and the group's second-ever version of, iko-iko, (from, al-be-ker-kay, as bugs bunny called it)., one again, the discs have been lovingly compiled and painstakingly mastered (in hdcd) from the original master tapes (in this case reels) by jeffrey norman. the booklet that accompanies the cds boasts scads of great photos from the era and a very cool historical essay by the ever-hip and erudite scribe steve silberman.; DISC 1:, 1.
