Deep and weird, capping a set full of loose fun. They get into it and it's all business with a wild trans into UJB, slipknot tease, and a great outro.

Seems like they're just having a great old time jamming together. A loose, fun-filled 1st set capping off a great month in Dead history.

A beautiful monster with intrepid intricacies throughout. Rhythmic Jerry investigations of the theme plus Tom C. on celeste.

Massive and dark with fantastic interplay between everybody on stage. Doesn't quite melt down, but dances next to chaos just perfectly.

Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
June 14, 1976
Beacon Theatre

Only the Dead can melt down and build up at the same time like this wonderful Slipknot. The knot is knotted, the loop well looped and out of the tangle we go into the beauty of Franklin's Tower. The '76 groove mellows it waaaaaaaay out, but they're really tight even at the slow tempo. Honestly, too, never did Donna, Bobby and Jerry harmonise so sweetly as on this Help.

No such thing as a bad MLB jam. The Playin' before it got so weird that even the tough bikers were probably freaked out, let alone the dosed hippies. The MLB just brought it back and shows us good sunlight and lots of tender love. I'm there in mind today, though I couldn't be there in body then.

Totally blazing. Jerry took his vitamins.

Agreed that this is unique. Compare the 2 sets to this amazing show: 1st set is jumping and hot, while the whole 2nd set is cool, smooth and mellow , including the beautiful DS and this great Eyes.

Funny version. Seems to space out for a while then really heats up right at the massive ending.
