unique show! unique sound quality! phil is on fire!

Heard a fragment of this show on Grateful Dead Network today and had to dig for more.

"Sugaree" and "Row Jimmy" are particular standouts and Phil thrashes on one of his harder renditions of "New Minglewood Blues."

Awesome show....because it was awesome!

Awesome show....because it was my first!

More that that, it never ceases to amaze me, even after all these years, how many people I meet who tell me that it was their first show, too.

I drove there in my '67 Mustang and I took my girlfriend instead of my (deadhead) best buddy. So wrong of me....sorry Rob.

This is a show that was played on the day I was born. I am still in disbelief that today is the first day I have listened to this show. It is by all accounts, superb. First of all, Help/Slip/Frank was one of my all time favorite line-up of songs the Grateful Dead ever had to offer. While I feel I was privy to one of the greatest playings of these three songs ever (Deercreek '94- check it out for yourselves) this is a spectacular challenger. Its sooooo good and so much the essence of what they were doing at this time, it is hard for me to argue which line up was better.
If you add in the Dancin' in the streets following this trio and the Scarlet Begonias to start, it is hard to argue. Its sooo damn good, this may be the best. Please, please listen to this show. Its beyond good. Its The Grateful Dead. Pure. 5 stars. No doubt.



~ Let the good times roll

the reviews below me have summed it all up pretty well. you can hear everybody doing their own thing all show long. beautiful second set.
Help>slip>franklin's is perfect. just listen to billy go wild. so much synchronized positive energy between everybody this night. oh how i wish i was there!

It's got a little high end in it.

This is a classic show from '76! The sound quality is spectacular! You can really focus on each individual instrument listening to this tape. Check out the major Phil Zone throughout the show! '76 was Phil's hottest year on bass. He does more soloing and up front bass work in songs during the '76 shows than most other years. Just listen to Sugaree! The early '76 versions of Dancin' in the Streets and Scarlet Begonias were owned by Phil. Just listen to the Dancin' on 1976-06-09! Great show/sound throughout! Don't miss this one either! His Alembic bass is so rich and thick! I love it!

And sorry Oh Uh Um Ah, the Dead stopped sounding like April '71 at the Fillmore long before this show! I enjoy '71 but I'd have to chose their '73-'79 sound over any other era. I love this lazy '76 sound!

Super 76' Soundbard.

Thanks to Mr. Rob Berger for the transfer.

East Coast magic from the American Bicentennial 1976.

Jersey City is just a hop, skip and jump from NYC.

Roosevelt Stadium was a great place to see the GRATEFUL DEAD. Easy access, lots of mass transit.

This show has a nice set list from 76' and it's 3 days after Jerry G's Birthday.

This is the sound of the GRATEFUL DEAD for the next twenty years.

Never again would they sound like April 71 at the Fillmore.

I recommend adding this show to your 1976 GRATEFUL DEAD collection if you can...

Billy and Mickey play the drums at this show.
