One of the first old cassettes I owned wayyyy back in the old days - I simply wore out that 2nd set. This one is etched, tattooed, into the ol' noggin. I'm glad for Mr. Hunter's matrix here, for I think it best fills in the missing blips and bleeps and dropouts the board is notorious for having.
Set 1 - It's really impossible to separate the voodoo of the first performance of Terrapin from the actual playing of the tune, so let's just say it's great, shall we? :) The Playin' medley at the end is swirling, wowing psychedelic fun - a perfect closer to the set. The 2nd set is so famous that this Playin' is often overlooked.
In the middle we have: "Bob! Bob! Bob Weir! Mexicali Blues! BoB! BOB! Bob! Weir! Bob Weir! Mexicali Blues! Mexicali Blues! BOB! Bob Weir!" Seriously, someone needs to muzzle that stoned doofus. I love your matrices, HS, but that guy really curls my spine. If you want, skip the last minute or two of the tuning on a lot of the tracks in this first set - the digital equivalent of "moving away from that dude."
Set 2 is impossible for me after all these years to look at objectively, but I think it's safe to say it's a masterpiece, the first taste of the magic of '77 and that transition from the Stomp to Dancin' *still* gives me the chills - man oh man, this is good music! This Slipknot jam has got to be one of the most-listened to tracks in all my years with the Dead.

DJ's of dead shows
I have to agree with Dylan. Hunter Seamons is to the matrix what Charlie Miller is to the Sounboard.
they are DJ's of dead shows and they certainly know how to do a kick-ass remix in their respective specialties.

Hunter Seamons is a craftsman
Dylan, all I can say is I agree 100%. Without the audience sound it's just not the Grateful Dead. Bertrando and Seamons have earned a lot of good karma with all the happiness and bliss they are helping to transmit.
Not to be trite, but it really, truly is "just like being there" - soundwise.

Best sounding recording of the lot
This guy Hunter Seamons is changing my whole outlook on Matrix and audience recordings. I used to be a Soundboard snob, but this guy just does them so damn well. Capturing the nuances of the pristine soundboard vocals, trebles, and bass. He also brings out the best of the audience recordings, bringing back life to would be stale sounding audienceless recordings.
So priceless to hear the audiences initial reaction to the first Terrapin. Cocky at first, thinking a familiar opener will stir their fancy, then sublime confusion, them practically silent until the transition into inspiration which gets a deserving roar of applause.
This show was always a five star show, but what we have here is a five star matrix that brings back all of what being at this show could possibly display on recording.
5 for performance
5 for historical significance
5 for transfer
5 for good ole' Grateful Dead

Ha!
I was definitely thrown off when I saw an average of a 3 star rating for this one. I thought "uh oh, Islam Sucks must not like this one" haha.
Thank you for putting this one together, Hunter. I've really fallen out of 77 in the last couple of years, but this and 3/19 are 2 that I can never tire of. Sure there are some May and October shows I dig, but 2/26 is the primary building block for any self-respecting collector of 1977 Grateful Dead to begin with.
I really like the overall sound, I was almost expecting it to be a little more aud-heavy than it is. I'd like to hear the aud by itself, I hope we find that one available soon. As it is, I think there is a really nice balance between the two here. I usually prefer a sbd heavy matrix, so this one is right up my alley.
