Slipnot! Fuckin' WOW!!??!!

i think i prefer the other version of this (123898) posted above. seems a tad warmer sound. or is that "muffled" and my old ears can't tell any more ... ?

Groovy Dead at it's finest. When I start to feel as sedated as they sound, I know it's a good show. I love the tempo even though I typically cringe when first hearing a slow show since it's usually followed by a musical mess. This, however, holds together brilliantly.

The LLR is simply outstanding despite some of the sloppy playing prevalent throughout the beginning of the show. LL/S show signs of great things to soon come for the duo. The set finishes strong though with a decent one off Scarlet though Donna somehow manages to step all over it. Seriously, she sounds like Kristen Wiig doing "Target Lady" on SNL. "There's a sale on tampons- Oh boy! At least the LLR made up for it in advance and redeemed with Crazy Fingers. Lastly Dancin is top notch. It comes close to spring 77' versions and in some ways better due to this feeling like it was being created rather than performed.

Second set is just primo Dead. The Crazy Finger outro is a glorious birth into Wharf Rat. These two songs lend themselves for a slower tempo and they are captured perfectly.

Well, that's as far as I've gotten so far. I just couldn't wait to rave about another outstanding sounding Matrix by Hunter Seamons. Mad props Hunter. The mix is a bit bass heavy, but at least Phil's unreal licks are captured well.

I love 76 but this show just didn't grab me. Some good performances for sure (Let it Grow, LL>Supplication) but it seemed to be missing something. Maybe I'll have to give it another listen but for now, it's a 3 1/2 for me. Well put together matrix with nice sound.

A great matrix of one of my favorite shows. Thanks Hunter

Great sync work for this outstanding show!!

is a looker in these years


after music never stops:
1:"how ya doin"
2"my back hurts"
hahaha ok!

i really like this show and can't wait have my afternoon bowl to enjoy it better. i've only sampled a few songs(it is so nice to have this site) and will spend some time this summer with 1976. since this is the first show 34 years ago after the hiatus i will be looking forward to more of bicentienal dead

Like I said, this Candyman is pretty sick.

This is an excellent show. Not the highest energy, but played extremely well. Nice Scarlett and Crazy fingers. The highlight (for me) was the Help on the Way/Slipknot/Franklins Tower. They seem to just casually bop into Help-almost chugging along and then go into an awesome Slipknot and a purely golden Franklins. Put a big smile on this face-very nice sound. That '76 tour is underrated. I know this first-hand from being at some of 76 shows. At the time, I thought many of the shows were way too mellow, but hearing them again, I see how beautifully most everything was played. Some mind-blowing, lovely versions of songs that were later to become more experimental jamming and developed and pushed even further in the classic year 1977.

awesome!

I was there but I can't say I remember much other then it was my first dead show and I loved it!

What's also funny is that after that remark the other guy says, "Is that on the tape?" Ha! Good times.

Great Show! What really makes this a classic is the banter between 2 guys during the music breaks. Especially at the end of ‘Music Never Stopped’ (d1t09) @ 6:22:
Guy1: You don’t like Keith do you?
Guy2: I’d like to F’ his wife.
Classic! An off color remark that this guy thought only one other person would hear, has now been heard by thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people. Gotta love it!

Great to see the Dead come out on fire after a 17 month hiatus (save the four '75 shows). This is a silky, mellow show that is a true virtuoso performance, especially from Music onward. Let is Grow and HSF (Slip is particularly noteworthy) are simply awesome. Both of these are arguably top 5 versions.

This a real doosy of a performance. The music is sublime at times, exceptional throughout. What really gets me though, is the sheer *amount* of good music here. By 90s standards, or even some 80s shows, this could have easily constituted a full two complete shows (or 12 Beatles concerts--no knock intended but they were short). The energy required for such a gig is dumbfounding to me, especially as I sit on my lazy butt at work all day listening. I need to go for a run!

Great mix for a very quality performance. Donna should thank you Hunter Seamons, she sounds great... not overly in your face and very clear sounding.

A powerful upgrade to one of my all time favorite shows. Sublime...

This sounds so sweet. Thanks for this perfectly mixed matrix! A great show where you can tell the boys (and girl) are having fun.
