I was there. Saw them nine times in twelve days on the Bicentennial Tour. Gorgeous east coast theaters. Lots of acid. They were in good form considering they were just coming back - a warm-up for '77. A good time was had by all.
One night in 1995 we got into the Dead and played every album we had way into the small hours and next morning I picked up the paper and Jerry Garcia had died that very night! RIP Jerry RIP Saint Stephen
i was 17 at the time and lived about 10 miles from the Capital. Didn't see this show but saw many others there. There's a bunch of them to enjoy on youtube.
Sister this tour in 76 was the best of times so I know where your coming from. I had buckets of fun! I think fondly of these days and I’m still smiling.
Same here. Got into them heavily over the pandemic and have been devouring Soundboards, listening to podcasts on the history and loving every minute of it
My first show was Columbia SC Halloween 1985, I was 15 and I feel like I just got a taste of it in last ten years. Glad to see people still totally get The Dead! Makes me smile!
All Dead songs on youtube are the biggest Happy Place on the internet. Just like their concerts were. Great music, great musicians, great comments. Welcome and I hope you enjoy it as much as the rest of us. Great place to come when you're under stress, great place to come when you feel great!
@@ApolloSuns really that recently? you missed that bus. I dont understand what the kids who diidnt tour find the appeal. It was the freedom and adventure . The music as good for the most part though. Shakedown street turned into walmart. GD is a corporation. Fast Eddie is rolling in his grave. Too safe, Same is true withe the rainbow family.
Just enjoy the music, Jerry had a lot of stuff on his mind, look at how he is looking at his guitar & later on he starts getting more relaxed & that is when he starts looking at his band & starts smiling & almost talking to us.. GOD Bless him! If u love him play his music.
Jerry’s a freaking genius on those improv’ed rifts. Clean and beautiful with an edge of sweetness that seems connecting and loving and kind. It raises above to the spiritual level, especially starting around 16:58
Nobody else could do it like Jerry; there is indeed something of a spiritual sweetness about. I've often felt that he was some sort of supernatural being - an angel, perhaps, if you believe in such things. He's beyond human - or maybe just more human than the rest of us.
@@jcavilia1 He was human. An overall great human, I'm sure, but sometimes the music that came through couldn't possibly be explained in simple words in any "normal everyday" type of thinking.
Huge fan of these runs of shows. My favorites, tender /jammy/ unforced with ease.. these always have a special sweet spot in that sonic library! Thanks!!👂👀😁🌊🏄♂️🌊 So organic 🎸❤️🎶
This is a straight off the soundboard recording and the audience ovation is so loud at the beginning it picks up on the bands vocal and instrument mics! Hell yeah! 🔥
Recently been going through a lot of 76 recordings, and it's definitely got a few gems like this. Takes some time to get to them, and the band gets lost a few times along the way, but as always it's a good time listening to the Dead. The band's cohesion really shows in 77 but in 76 we only really got glimpses of that genius, like this recording.
Absolutely underrated. Anything from 73 to 79 was on point. The band was feeding off each other and you can feel it watching these shows. Jerry playing a Travis bean definitely one of my favorite guitars that he played.
Mickey calling out for Eyes, how interesting. I wonder how often Mr Hart played the unofficial Maestro in all their unplanned, spontaneous setlists? It actually makes a lot of sense, since he mostly plays the backbeat and can pay more attention to song order, segways etc. There's always another stone to unturn with the Dead. Peace 🕊️
Got to Jerry's solo in The Wheel when I read this, it definitely helped me stay focused on the drums. It's amazing how they're able to keep so many different sounds together as a coherent song!
I second that sentiment. No time for ads during a show! I'm not technically smart enough to know how to upload shows without ads. Not trying to be unkind, but do it right, or don't do it at all. Just sayin'
I believe uploaders no longer have a choice as to ad placement. They changed it a few months ago so that unmonetized videos have mid roll ads too, so it’s not MVs fault. (Unless they are monetized, in which case it is)
What about an ad for a tie from the Jerry Garcia collection? Or maybe a commercial for the next Dave's Picks live album? Or even an ad for Garcia Hand Picked cannabis products from the Garcia family? I really don't think the band or their families are against advertising or making money.
People love this show , and I will bet that many of the people who like these mid to late '70s Renditions of Saint Stephen also make fun of dead and Company for playing too slow. But something tells me that the dead and Company St Stephen might be a little faster than these My point being: people who complain about the shifting tempos of the years of Dead songs don't seem to actually really like the Dead after all
Of all Jerry's guitars it was the Travis Bean guitars that had the best tone. His alembic guitars were absolutely beautiful works of art but I always was a little underwhelmed by the tone. I thought they sounded a little thin and you can hear the difference when he started playing Lightning Bolt at the end, which I felt had a much fuller sound than the Doug Irwin instruments. He sounded really good playing strats too but my favorite is the Travis Bean guitars.
Gonna watch more closely for that (poor me!) but what exactly do you mean? He'd been fired a few years before, but he just wouldn't move out of the house hahaha I have a mixed bag of feelings about Bobby the Ace. Mostly love.
Love the music!!! Could really do without an AD every 3-4 minutes though... couldn’t make it half way through. For the Jimminey Christmas, another ad while typing the comment. C’mon man.
Jerry Garcia (Lead Guitar/Vocals), Bob Weir (Rhythm Guitar/Vocals), Phil Lesh (Bass Guitar), Bill Kreutzmann (Drum Kit), Mickey Hart (Drum Kit), Keith Godchaux (Keyboard), Donna Godchaux (Vocals).
Just cringe man... All this talk about peeking? O's are O's I guess? To me... The Dead never peeked just evolved..right up to the end. Sure there are better moments than others. The dead were like the sound of the sunrise each one beautiful in its own way. I can't imagine waking up to dawn's splintered light & thinking this is the best one I'll ever see from here on out.
youve got to be kidding. to even have audio,,,, much less video thats synced up this well from 1976 is nothing short of the golden road to unlimited devotion. best regards.
I think the mix is weird, too .. but I also agree with the ‘beggars can’t be choosers’ point .. I love all the video being upgraded & released these last couple of years .. especially the 60’s era (!)
I keep hearing all these cultural and social references in the dialogue of American TV shows about this band called The Grateful Dead or Jerry Garcia and how cool and significant and relevant they are. " I saw a Dead Head sticker on a Cadillac " from Don Henley's " Boys of Summer " Americans rave on about how great this band is. So I was thinking, wow, they must be very good. You can't imagine my disappointment when I listened to their ' Greatest Hits ' album. All their songs sound like a variation of themselves. Dull and boring attempts at Roots n Blues. I don't know what all the fuss is about. They re-confirm that I have exquisite taste in music
The Dead are known for their live shows more than their albums, especially their questionable "best of" album. Put a concert on in the background while doing housework, or get lost in the music while sampling mind altering substances. The Dead aren't for everyone, but if they click with someone, that person is usually a fan for life.
So to be clear, the "exquisite taste in music" that brought you to the Dead was...solo Don Henley. Take my word, bud, we can all imagine your disappointment.
That is one of the most missed things in these songs all of these years later. Truly amazing stuff happened often enough for many years. I'm glad there's still stuff that I haven't heard or have forgotten. It is Something so difficult to explain, briefly, about how it was to be there whenever it was on fire.
Damn you’re right. Thanks for articulating what I’ve always felt and really enjoyed about his/their style. The songs stay the same BUT them jams dude the jams never fade away ✌🏼
This might be the reason that they appeal to me as a new fan. I would be endlessly bored if it sounded more like guitar solos. It sounds like creating new verses to songs youve heard hundreds of times. Just amazing
Yup. Second night, we sneak into the Beacon Theater at 9am through the load-in dock, climb up to the very top of the balcony, then out a door to the roof to party all day outside with a great crew until 5:30 or so. But then NYPD hits the roof to clear us out, so we sneak back into the theater, watch the soundcheck from the projection booth. Then Candelario, or maybe it was Parish, looks up and spots our faces all lit up, points us out to security, who start climbing up. Holy shit! Terrified, we bolt, but they finally corner us. But.... we look so wild-eyed and desperate and bummed, they say we earned it, and let us stay for the show. Hell YEAH, MIRACLE!
This Saint Stephen and Ripple were a couple songs I so much always wanted to hear when I got to see them live, two of their very best songs along with the other hundreds of songs they also played❤️
And that is why you could never go to too many shows... Sadly, with the ticket prices for Dead & Co this last time around, I will probably not make the show. Cheapest tix are about $300 for nose bleed.
@jc9561 I got some for $80-$85. I'm not remembering where they were as issues prevented the experience. Some great playing from what I heard, but I'd give it and maybe more than I'd be able to give to experience stuff like in this video here. Ticket prices are generally high for decent seats, and to me, that's where it sounds the best, but these cities are the real rip-offs. The hotel would've been over $800 per night in a city that I no longer feel safe in. Any other time, the rooms around there were $200-$250 a night. Still absurd, but in this economy, what else. Inflation, but wages haven't kept pace with nearly EVERYTHING else for far too long. Gone are the days---of so much.
@@davidr1676 your absolutely right and well said Gone are the days It never crossed my mind regarding the inflated hotel fees I had a house in Las Vegas which I ended up with tents in front and back yard , one time I didn’t even have a place myself to lay down to sleep My bed had 3 of my gut friends filling it up, and I just wish it could have been 3 of the females that were there 🤷♂️ But when I traveled to see em camping out was much of the fun involved I miss seeing all those beautiful flower girls all hippied out and spinning endlessly Nothing but love filled the air, I could use a dose of that right now, for sure Peace
@@davidr1676 ticket prices even into the 90’s decade were only $20 to $30 dollars and that included another great band opening up for them. Like Santana, Sting, Traffic , Jonny Clegg & Savuca , Steve Miller Band, and so many more for $20 dollars They played for the people, not for the profit‼️
There will never again be a collaboration of musicians like these guys. Long live the dead!!

So nice to hear Eyes Of The World played for real and not every Grateful Dead cover band's version under the sun trying to play it.
I'm fine with others emulating...but there are NO substitutes.
Hey man, let the kids play. They're trying their best to do justice to this music lol
So many of these cover bands just try to play as many notes over the chords, they don't really feel the music. The difference is magic
One night in 1995 we got into the Dead and played every album we had way into the small hours and next morning I picked up the paper and Jerry Garcia had died that very night! RIP Jerry RIP Saint Stephen

Dig the tasty piano lick that Keith plays at 26:30...jumped out to me..his playing is so often overlooked but he fills it in beautifully
No doubt, brutha!
He was the best.
Like a mountain stream sparkling along with the music....
Enjoy the music,so glad u r enjoying it!

Great to hear Bobby's playing up-front. For some reason, Jerry's guitar volume is down. But it shows what a premier rhythm guitarist can do.
It sounded fine live, I was there. For some reason the Board didn't pick it up enough.
Blowing are live away
People love this show , and I will bet that many of the people who like these mid to late '70s Renditions of Saint Stephen also make fun of dead and Company for playing too slow. But something tells me that the dead and Company St Stephen might be a little faster than these
My point being: people who complain about the shifting tempos of the years of Dead songs don't seem to actually really like the Dead after all
It's not the tempo, it's that the dead and co renditions feel like they drag. They play fast style notes within a slow tempo, it doesn't work.
dope drummer
Play all night,,,
Of all Jerry's guitars it was the Travis Bean guitars that had the best tone. His alembic guitars were absolutely beautiful works of art but I always was a little underwhelmed by the tone. I thought they sounded a little thin and you can hear the difference when he started playing Lightning Bolt at the end, which I felt had a much fuller sound than the Doug Irwin instruments. He sounded really good playing strats too but my favorite is the Travis Bean guitars.
I agree 100% definitely a better sound all the way around.
I agree. the TB and the Fender Strats were the best IMO

Anybody know what guitar that is?

Nothing but love filled the air, I could use a dose of that right now, for sure
Peace
@@davidr1676 ticket prices even into the 90’s decade were only $20 to $30 dollars and that included another great band opening up for them.
Like Santana, Sting, Traffic , Jonny Clegg & Savuca , Steve Miller Band, and so many more for $20 dollars
They played for the people, not for the profit‼️
