Forum MVP Rude Posted February 16, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 The Grateful Dead will release the June 1976 box set via Rhino on March 20. The five-show, 15-CD collection includes previously unreleased recordings of the band’s June 10 and 11 shows at the Boston Music Hall, June 14 and 15 concerts at New York City’s Beacon Theatre and June 19 performance at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, New Jersey.  I was just listening to the 6-11-76 last night.  I love those boards. “Previously unreleased” is sort of nonsense as great boards are all out there for these. And weren’t some of these in a dicks picks already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LangeradoSoul Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 Gotta admit. I’ve went through feverish neurotic episodes with specific Shows and tours from most years (1967-1991 specifically), but 1976 fails to excite me. I know the cool jams that are unique to some shows that year, but overall, it’s my least favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Greg from Chestertown Posted February 16, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 Yea, I noticed that the set lists for the discs seem to have help/slip/frank over and over. It would be neat to listen through and compare. Once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'76 is one of my favs ,,,the drippy St. Stephens, the return of Cosmic Charlie, Mission in the Rain!, Donna at the top of her game,,,fresh crazy fingers....I find it all tasty gravy.

vbf3 Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 Looks great to me. I pre-ordered first and and looked at the contents second. What struck me was (perhaps I misread it) all the Lazy Lightening/supplications night after nite, how great that must have been..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting assessment. I would argue against it. 72-74 falls more in there category of jazzy to me with 76 representing a return to simplicity and danceability.

Milehighjoel. Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 76 is to 77 as 84 is to 85. Huge fan of 77 and 85... Not so much 76 but Boston is a highlight of 76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so much 76 but Boston is a highlight of 76 You need to revisit those positions.  First, '84 rocks just as hard as '85. It's just that '85 has the more interesting set lists and the more unique material.  Second, '76 has an aura that, while perhaps a bit lost in the subsequent evolution that became Dead '77, is a peak-of-band moment in time and is as important as any year in the 70s, IMHO. As I said, understated perfection. It is the portal through which one seminal iteration in the Dead's history morphed into another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Ammagamalin Crew Posted April 30, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 The Jerry Band shows from 75 to 76 seem to be a portal also. I'd say there's some understated perfection of JGB in 1976, and a few really good video captures of the incidents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milehighjoel. Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 Happily revisit 76/84...and I already agree the reason I probably prefer 85to 84 includes your reason the 85 set lists are more appealing, but that counts. I still hold 77 eclipses 76 but yes some east coast 76 sets are amazing. As legendary as it is, as many times as I play it,  Cornel 77 is pinnacle,as are the Richmond 85 sets. Can you suggest a 76 set that will change my perception of the year. Maybe Beacon 76 is a good candidate.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milehighjoel. Posted May 2, 2020 Report Share Posted May 2, 2020 Right on. Heading to archive org to check William and Mary show then to Cap/ New York shows , looks like a second set help slip Frank ! Glad we all agree on Richmond 85. When Phil belts out "LOVIN" during the gimmi some lovin....get goose bumps every time.  I'm from the Brent generation btw, wish I got a chance to show my appreciation before the tinley park shows ended.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
