I really love the setlist, i HAVE LISTENED TO IT on the soundboard, It sounded great, it was one of the most noisy shows that i have ever heard. I was listening to this tape i don't think the mikes were high enough up height wise. listen to it after a while the people wouldn't be quite for a second I felt like telling them to shut the %&*(% up I would love to get a soundboard copy. To listen to this would only frustrate me. I am sure it must have been an incredable show to be at.

I was there for this night only. The Dead sold tickets mail order but you did not have a choice so we ended up with different amounts for whichever shows. 2 for one, three for the Tower, etc - but only ONE for this night!
Got in late but had the same equipment as this but
I was stuck in last row of balcony. Somebody had snuck in about 4 or five of full size nitrous tanks - each 4 feet tall! I noticed that my recording had more hiss than all the other shows we made with the same gear that tour. My guess is those tanks were on the whole show and were making there own hissing!!!
What a great show too - the best of the east coast tour, hands down.
I don't know if it was the nitrous but I doubt many remember much of this show - I know I don't!
Thanks as now I have the whole show now.
As for the recording, well it was 1976 and not too many cassettes existed yet, and the mics are modest, to say the least.
All and all a good AUD recording for the era.

The famous show is the 14th. This show has the energy, and I am delighted to say, a super good quality audience recording, not at all boomy or muddy. Real great feel of being in the audience and hearing the band. The reviewers of the soundboards give the lowdown on the great setlists.

I never thought I'd hear shows where Donna was a plus to the band, but she is note perfect on tune and in harmony on Cassidy, LLR, Let It Grow and The Wheel. A great companion to the soundboards.

These were heady dates, in a fabulous hall. I saw Chick Corea and Return to Forever there that same summer.
