1977 was a good year for the Grateful Dead and many Deadheads consider it their best. I don't agree but it was certainly one of their best periods.
Here's a previously unreleased show from the Capitol Theater recorded on April 27, 1977. It's a very good recording made from the original tapes for an FM broadcast and it includes video footage. Given 1977 video technology, it's not great video, but it's been cleaned up and upscaled to 1080p, so it's watchable.
I haven't listened to the whole show yet, but the parts I've heard are typical 1977 Dead, which means it's melodic, tight, and rocks like crazy when it's called for.
