Inspiration, move me brightly. light the song with sense and color; Hold away despair, more than this I will not ask. Faced with mysteries dark and vast, statements just seem vain at last. Some rise, some fall, some climb, to get to terrapin.
Hung out all night and all the next day on the sidewalk outside Winterland to see this show. Perhaps the most ethereal of any Grateful Dead show I've been to. My first show was 5-6-78 (easy date to remember) in Vermont and they played Terrapin there, too.
Jerry. Jerry at his utmost finest. This video brought tears to my eyes, beautiful. It pains me that Jerry slowly went as he did, if only he could have been like this for another decade. Who knows what other miraculous treasures he could have manifested with the help of Hunter's poetic lyrics? It's truly a shame, Jerry lives on forever in our spirits and souls.
If I could be in any place, in any time in my life, my old bones would choose to stand right here at this show again, and view with my own eyes, Jerry and the boys, play this song and grace the world with beauty and love.
I wasn’t a Grateful Dead fan until my brother played a bootleg record of this performance when I was 18 and i was hooked. As a music fan if you can’t appreciate this you aren’t alive! Brilliant
This version of Terrapin is tops in my book. So clean, the jam at the end has beautiful contrast between power and light touch, and above all Jerry's singing in his prime. Play it F'ing LOUD! ;)
When I first heard the Grateful Dead I didn't like them. Then I heard this version of Terrapin Station while smoking a joint then it hit me. I finally understood the Grateful Dead and got on the bus right then and there. God bless the Grateful Dead, the greatest American band there ever was.

I don't know why Terrapin got so much criticism when released - it's brilliant
In my opinion, the single greatest song and performance by the Dead!
The eleven is the greatest dead song ever. But Terrapin might be the greatest song ever recorded in the history of music 🎶 🎵 🤔 🤪

Jerry and the Dead at their best. A true masterpiece.
There is nothing like a Grateful Dead Concert.

He's so gentle with that first solo. It really sounds like someone crying to me. Making those specific notes cry out.
Miss you Jerry. Some rise, some fall, some climb, to get to Terrapin !!!!!!!!

time I listen to it!...
"Inspiration moves me, brightly." Words I have lived by for decades. Thank you, Jerry for my mantra.

Jerry's soft subtle voice on this recording is just pure gold
