Overlooked show probably due to the middle AUD quality, but listen here and you get pure Jerry perfection, plus a possible explosion on stage.

Beautifully ensconced in a delicious 2nd set framed by a great Dancin'. On its own this one is pure and lovely. Great Fall '76 show.

Bobby throws a little bit more chaw into this one. It's full of spit and loads of fun. Great first set all around.

A blissful, soaring example of GD ensemble playing. Starts just a bit loose, but by the out chorus it's just amazing.

I'm with Crackstraw here. One of the best of the Summer tour. Donna does indeed sound amazing - showing what a little attention to mic'ing and mixing correctly could do for the whole band. CRS was always my favorite show opener, it just feels so uniquely Dead.

Relatively rare in '76, this is the first one since the hiatus. Jerry and Keith are in perfect sync, and chase each other around the jam in a wild, slithering race.

Deliberate is a good term for it. After a speedy and scattered Let it Grow (Bobby's chews up the lyrics), Jerry takes over the transition and somehow both spins higher and higher, while bring the band together, slows, them down, catches a breath, and lands on this intensely focused Wharf Rat,

But dude, if you believe Bobby when he tells you it's someone's birthday, I've got a bridge to sell you! That's some Prankster voodoo trickery, man.

Deep and thick Playin' here. I'm going to say here that this show is under-appreciated. Maybe the history of low-fi tapes for the era has had an impact, but damn if this doesn't cook, and cook hard, regardless of how people dismiss '76 as one long opiate haze of slow tempos and sleepy grooves. Check it out, get into it. You'll love it, I swear.
