    During the mid-1970s, the Grateful Dead saga was unfolding like a Greek classic. The Sisyphean Wall Of Sound had nearly broken the band. From it spawned a Medusa head of countless side projects, all deliciously fruitful but woefully not the same as the whole. The chorus lay in wait, pondering the reemergence of their heroes, and wondering if "THE LAST ONE" had really been it...

    But in early 1976, Apollonian light and healing would shine upon our intrepid wanderers once again. No more epic battles for the people with cops and lines and tightness, the Dead would return triumphant in smallness, playing intimate theaters and renting equipment along the way. No more ticket scams and greedy promoters, they'd give back with first ever mail-order ticket program, one that had a few kinks to work out but eventually served the fans well.

    Musically, June 1976 signaled a Golden Age of harmony and prosperity for the Dead. It marked an Odysseusian-like return for Mickey Hart. Donna Jean was in lock-step with the sirens' call. Jerry and Bob delivered orphic delight with solo musings like "Mission In The Rain" (the only tour they ever played it on), "The Wheel," and "Cassidy," emboldened by group effort. There was fresh repertoire from Blues For Allah, breathing new life to the Dead's continually morphing sound - as Weir once said of the '76 tour, they wanted to play "a little bit of all of it." Old favorites were re-envisioned with cascading tempos and unique sequencing, making the crowd question if they'd ever heard these songs before. And there was comfort and joy in the familiarity of watching the band make it up as they went along. By all means, it was clear that the bacchanalia of live Dead would reign on.

    And now the revelry from this epoch, evidenced by the near-studio quality sound captured on two-track live recordings by Betty Cantor-Jackson, lives on, bolstered by Jeffrey Norman's HDCD mastering. It's housed for posterity in a handsome box featuring original art work by Justin Helton. It’s documented in liners by Jesse Jarnow and photos by Grant Gouldon.

    I re-listened to all of them also and agree. That one is the best of the lot and it was the one I had.

    You can check the archive forever, sometimes you just live with what you got. Though, I have (via this forum) been clued in when something better comes along. I think I've re-downed about 6-10 shows.

    I went through all these today, I still think this is the best sounding, most complete of the bunch. I see Charlie Miller put up a more recent board, but it's partial.

    If you read the notes, this is a board with audience patches and sounds like that to me, i.e. I believe the notes.
    I have the Miller too.. One could combine the sources perhaps.. Actually, I have them all.. I haven't given it a deep dive with headphones in years, but this is not an Audience recording except where noted in the notes below. It might not be the best soundboard out there, but... it is what it is and I am not seeing anything head and antlers above the rest that circulates.

    Anyway.. I am not partial to any one recording or another. Let me know if you want this or any of the others that appear in the Archive. I appear to have them all.

    Audio Patches:

    1) At the beginning of the show, 2 minutes and 42.282 seconds were missing the right channel of the SBD which was filled in using the left channel from the SBD making this portion of tuning\intro a mono recording.

    2) 2 minutes and 3 seconds into Crazy Fingers, 20.163 seconds were missing from the SBD source and was filled in with audio from the AUD source.

    3) 2 minutes and 51 seconds into Crazy Fingers, 47.758 seconds were missing from the SBD source and was filled in with audio from the AUD source.

    4) 4 minutes and 57 seconds into Crazy Fingers, 3 minutes and 13.540 seconds were missing from the SBD source and was filled in with audio from the AUD source.

    5) 8 minutes and 46 seconds into Crazy Fingers, 5.891 seconds were missing from the SBD source and was filled in with audio from the AUD source.

    6) 9 minutes and 36 seconds into Crazy Fingers, 47.131 seconds were missing from the SBD source and was filled in with audio from the AUD source. This includes the last notes of Crazy Fingers into the tuning between songs.

    7) 1 minutes and 41 seconds into Beat It On Down The Line, 2 minutes and 16.225 seconds were missing from the SBD source and was filled in with audio from the AUD source. This includes the last half of BIODTL into the tuning between songs.

    8) Between Deal and Big River, 1 minute and 30.313 seconds were missing from the SBD source and was filled in with audio from the AUD source.

    9) Between Big River and Peggy-O, 43.077 seconds were missing from the SBD source and was filled in with audio from the AUD source. This includes the start of Peggy-O.

    10) Between Peggy-O and Me And My Uncle, 51.994 seconds were missing from the SBD source and was filled in with audio from the AUD source.

    11) Between Me And My Uncle and Help On The Way, 35.025 seconds were missing from the SBD source and was filled in with audio from the AUD source. This includes the first notes of Help on the Way.

    12) Between Sugar Magnolia and US Blues, 07.435 seconds were missing from the SBD source and was filled in with audio from the AUD source. This includes the first notes of US Blues.

    13) Timing of this show used the soundboard as the master to which the audience was sync'd to - for the most part the audience ran slightly fast at about .5% which agrees with Rob Bertrando comments about this show. Thank you Rob for a wonderful audience recording.

    Sometimes you can be pleasantly shocked. Bought it used for 50 bucks, I think new was 100. But the 'used' section listing on amazon said "like new". Damn thing came today in a nice heavy mylar/comic book type sleeve and WAS new! Like someone like me bought it, ripped it in and stored. I don't think the book has even been opened!

    So that was my nice surprise in truth in advertising!

    For those in the know, this and the aforementioned new riders will be on gdrive soon.

    Just got New riders field trip album. Suppose to be the opening act for Veneta, probably same tape quality,,, etc, etc.

    Why does the dead say "Old Renaissance Faire Grounds", but the Riders call it "Temple Meadow"?

    Has anyone done a matrix of 6-17-75?

    I listened again last night. It's a really good audience tape but far from a board, but me thinks a matrix would be best.

    Also, put Crazy Fingers back to back between 6-17-75 and the August show/One from the Vault. The June version simply blows away the August version.

    I'm surprised there's no highly recommended single source or matrix for this show. It's a rarity as a performance and shows the Blues for Allah material largely intact but Help without lyrics. Hunter, bless him, must have been scribbling away backstage!

    Edit: Happy 4/20 folks, may there be a large nasty bud in every pot. Oh wait....

Stoked for this one! But what’s new with that?

Early box might be because of 50th anniversary releases coming later in the year.

[edit] ....aaaand Dave confirms in the seaside chat that it’s going to be a busy year of releases, so wanted to get this one to us with time to breathe around it.

very nice ordered,,, sounds a little cleaner than my current copy. This appears to give us the complete (?) boston run. 6-9 is a road trip and 6-12 has parts (have to say parts with a boston accent).

Will NOT tell wife. She informed me to stop buying until I get a job.

Is it proper to tell wife of 40 years, fuck you?

There it is !!!!!! !

Dave L. Toss in 7.13.76 Orpheum Theatre bonus cuts. Was just listening to this one. What happened to release of final Orpheum performance?

1976 shows are fire sauce. This is going to be a smokin hot box set desert island Dead. I missed the giants stadium set. Gotta get this one

I went to Hampton Coliseum for dead and company in November. One of the discs spinning was 6.29.76. Pure gold

Other 1976 shows I have heard recently are from Portland, Rochester, Columbus, and Cincinnati. All of the are really sweet.

Sugaree from Columbus is really cool

9.26.72 ~ Bird Song ~ about ten minutes in. Jerry sends in the Mind melters

I guess I better do my taxes now and hope it's still available when I get my returns. These always seem to come out at the time when I'm strapped. I suspect this will be available for a little while, but you never know.

Originally had all of the shows on cassettes, then CD-R, then digital upgrades. Can’t wait to hear them all polished up.
6-19 has always been an FM copy, so that’s the biggest upgrade.
They’re all grate but 6-14 has always been my favorite.

Last night I'm in the basement, to spin on the bike. My GD collection upstairs is 1966-1975. Downstairs I keep 1976-1995. So I pick the Capitol 6-17-76 (DaP 28) to listen to whilst spinning. Some amazing playing that reminded me that not all '76 is languid, which is my stereotyping of that year. Let's face it, every year has killer shows and ho-hum shows. So when this sucker popped into my email in-box, I thought, well, that's synchronicity. Then I looked at the show dates.

I was in Boston for one of the four nights in June '76 and clearly remember getting hassled by street walkers en route to the show and on the drive home we had to pull over and sleep in the car.

I caught one of the two nights at the Beacon in NYC. Not sure which.

And I caught the night at the Capitol when they opened with Help On the Way, which is in this box.

So, good chance this box delivers 2-3 shows I attended that year.

And let me say this: they returned from their hiatus in June and played 19 shows -- fresh, excited, etc.

Finally, I think Dave has an obligation to get as many ABCD/returned Betty Boards released as swiftly as possible and this continues that trend of the past 3-4 years. Very glad to have this. And maybe we get another in the fall???

DaP 33 was my “acid test” - if it arrived safe and sound, with no hassle, then I’d feel confident The Great Warehouse Debacle Of ‘19 was behind us, and all systems “Go!” to order with confidence again - it was received without a hitch, just like the days of yore, so no problem seeing my way to order this June 1976 gem of a box set!!! (I hope everyone has had similar good fortune.). Hurry up Spring!!!

This is an excellent surprise, I hadn't expected an announcement anytime soon, let alone a box due 3/20. As much as I liked DaP28 6/17/76 and '76 in general, I am psyched for this box. I know you can't judge a show by the set list, but the set lists for these shows look pretty cool. Thought about waiting to order, then thought about missing out and put the order in now. Curious to see what the rest of the year brings.

Not sure how I missed this one, but it's too expensive on the secondary market.

At this point releasing any ‘70s box set is redundant. It’s now just a matter of whether I’ll be disciplined enough to pass on this one, as I certainly don’t need it.

Actually I received a 20 percent discount when I sent a text to rhino about the 3 month wait on the july 78 box and they apologized for the delay. So I used it to buy the Nightfall of diamonds show. They finally said no stock left. Sad. But I did buy one on ebay for $180.

I wouldn't go as far as Patagonian Fox in saying that releasing any box sets from the 1970s is now redundant. But releasing anymore from between 1976-1978 may be. At least until the primary years are properly served. ie 1966-1969.
