![]() ![]() Lisening to this show not only sparks memories of being in the "Hall", but I was totaly blown out of my chair playing Big River. By the time I left the "burg", I became an avid Grateful Dead fan, only by the upbringing of my ancestor heads. I miss it for sure, now that I have lived in Myrtle Beach for 15 years. Graduations (Lafayette High), basketball games and concerts (Stone Temple Pilots), and fell in love with the city as I grew up there. ![]() ![]() I've been in the "Hall" many times for many different functions. Tatoo the Playing > Supp > Playing to the back of your skull !!!įirst, I was born in Portsmouth, moved to Ny till I was 5, back to Virginia Beach, then by the time I was 10, I was a local living in Williamsburg. Drumz splitting up Slipknot in the second set makes for a nice change of routine in the rotation, but the rest of the show is only fair, or yes, "unremarkable." Add the H/S/F as filler to a few disks. Thank god for this marvelous tape! The five stars is meant only for this magic moment in GD history. And for the fact that they never did it again. As a purely unique animal, it's what every trooblooo Head dreams of stumbling onto. I just shake my head and laugh at how amazing the seque is into Supp. Have you ever drawn a straight flush - all in a row - as you open the cards? I did once with Jack high diamonds. So Phil and Jerry gave it up, and Bobby won the hand. You can clearly hear Bobby's Supplication rhythm gaining prominance while they're thumping it out at the end of the Playing Jam. I would love to have seen the interplay between The Guyz fighting it out for who's song was going to win the seque. Only ONE time did they precede Supp with anything but Lazy, and that time was 9.24.76. From 6.3.76 to 10.31.84, The Boyz did Lazy Lightening > Supplication 121 times in a row without exception. Take a good, hard look at Deadbase boys and girls. The Playin' sandwich is on Spirit of '76. SOURCES: The AUD or Dave's 4 - which is patched with the AUD. Help on the Way>Slipknot!>Franklin's Tower>The Music Never Stopped - a helluva top-notch sequence The rest is average with Around & Around slowed down and funkified. The Franks is the actual meat and the show peak, going into Music Never Stopped. The post-Drums Slipknot! has an interesting, jazzy jam, making a half hour Help>Slip>Franks. Average stuff, slowly getting hotter, which really shows at Minglewood and a great Help on the Way. Back into Playin' it becomes very fluid and organic. Getting it there is a classic struggle and it's one of the many gotta-hear-onces. Playin' is solid but going into Supplication makes it interesting (they played it into Let it Grow when they were here in Tidewater in '86). Tennessee is sluggish - not my favorite from '76, with it's carousel solo, but I think some will dig this one. Row Jimmy is not an engaging version in particular but Big River is major inventive - the old standby that always perked up Jer. Jer is very low in the mix and Bobby is basically missing until Sugaree when things get settled. Overall, though, it's an average '76 show, not in the top 20. Again, that's Franks into MNS into Stella.). It's a looks-good-on-paper show and a must-hear-once (due to the Help>Slip>Franklins>MNS>Stella. We didn't hear a full SBD until 2012 and seems like the AUD wasn't well-traded either, though the Playin' into Supplication was common filler - in my trading circles anyway. So listen to this show or don’t, but absolutely do not skip the H>S>F!!! A triumphant Franklins is joyful and provides a great roundness to this version. Loaded with fly by the seat of your pants dead. The dexterity and control while riding the edge of the cliff is supremely impressive. As someone who has played guitar for 26 years and knows these licks well, I am unsure how he was physically able to pull it off. A couple in 1983 are seriously fast but not clean like this. I mentioned it because Jerry plays the Slipknot! licks, at a mind blowing speed, perfectly clean. The short composed section that provides the transition from the Slip jam to Franklins is the first 1:30 of the Franklins track here. It’s technically Help> Slip> Drums> Slip> Franklins. That said, the Help> Slip> Franklins is an absolute beast. It’s not a really sub-par show by any means but of the 41 shows from 76, this probably ranks around 25th-30th. I will mostly agree with the sentiment that this is a largely pedestrian show for 1976. ![]()
