Ballsy strut. Donna and Bobby are perfectly in sync, the mix is great, and Jerry's on fire. Check out the Miller cleanup.

Baffling that this isn't here yet. Perfect tight ensemble playing, exhuberence and one idea flowing into another. Great recent C.Miller cleanup too.

Beautifully cleaned up version up now showcases the tight ensemble playing here. Bobby's tone is crystal clear and his fills are a treat to hear.

If you've passed by this show, you're missing out a sweetheart of a Roses here. Check out the new C.Miller clean pane of glass in the window.

Might As Well

Boston Music Hall

New C.Miller cleanup (10/17) brings in the love. Brilliant show opener with everything '76 has to offer: Hot mellow, lyricisms, and DJG at her best.

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.
Wharf Rat

Orpheum Theatre

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,
Playin' In The Band

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.
Playin' In The Band

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.
