This week on the Golden Road, we are trucking up to Buffalo for the Grateful Dead recorded live at the Buffalo Memorial Auditorium (or just the “Aud”), on May 9th, 1977. The April-May 1977 Dead tour is legendary and among their all-time best tours. And we here at the Golden Road think the Aud show is arguably the finest show of the spring 1977 tour! So, you be the judge!
