hamilton Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 From www.dead.net :The latest installment in the Download Series is now available at GDStore.com. Download Series Volume 4 is the complete 6/18/76 concert, minus one song, "Tennessee Jed," which was omitted because the master tape was plagued with technical problems that could not be fixed in mastering.June of 1976 is an essential month in the history of the Grateful Dead, as it marked the return to their prolific touring schedule that would continue virtually non-stop for almost 20 years. Starting in Portland, OR, on June 3 and running to the East Coast and Midwest through the end of the month, the reinvigorated Grateful Dead, with Mickey back in the fold, returned to the road and immediately let it be known that they were back with a vengeance. As the tour gained steam through Boston and New York, the band landed for a three-night run at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, NJ. The middle night of this run, 6/18/76, is a typically hot and surprisingly exploratory show.New songs recently added to the repertoire, such as "The Music Never Stopped," "Crazy Fingers," "Samson and Delilah," and "The Wheel," are all present on Download Volume 4 and sound as though they've been a part of the band's song book for years, along with the revitalized "St. Stephen," "Cassidy," and one of only five Grateful Dead performances of Jerry's "Mission In The Rain." The highlight of the big second set jam is a wonderful "Eyes Of The World" that begins with a very long instrumental passage reminiscent of the 1974 jazz-influenced version of this song.To round out Download Volume 4, highlights from the next run of shows in Philadelphia are included, featuring stellar versions of "Candyman," the new "Lazy Lightnin'>Supplication," an incredibly jammed-out performance of "Scarlet Begonias," and a 23-minute "Playing In The Band" featuring a very distinct "Fire On The Mountain" jam in the middle, led by Phil. To cap it all off, a sweet reading of the newly-returned-to-action "High Time" from the tour's penultimate show in Chicago ends the release.Grateful Dead6/18/1976 Capitol Theatre - Passaic, NJ Disc One 1 The Music Never Stopped 5:542 Sugaree 11:033 Mama Tried 3:064 Crazy Fingers 13:075 Big River 6:236 Brown-Eyed Woman 4:497 Looks Like Rain 7:578 Row Jimmy 10:289 Cassidy 4:4510 Mission In The Rain 7:4411 Promised Land 4:18Disc Two 1 Samson and Delilah 6:442 St. Stephen > 4:403 Not Fade Away > 11:174 St. Stephen > 1:025 Eyes Of The World > 12:316 Drums > 2:177 The Wheel > 4:428 Sugar Magnolia 11:259 U.S. Blues 5:50Disc Three - Bonus Tracks 6/21/76 Tower Theatre, Philadelphia 1 Scarlet Begonias 10:592 Lazy Lightning > 2:483 Supplication 5:194 Candyman 7:036/22/76 Tower Theatre, Philadelphia5 Playing In The Band > 23:256 Drums > 2:307 The Wheel > 5:008 Playing In The Band 3:216/28/76 Auditorium Theatre, Chicago, IL9 High Time 9:27Grateful Dead: Jerry Garcia: lead Guitar, Vocals Donna Jean Godchaux: Vocals Keith Godchaux: Piano Mickey Hart: Drums Bill Kreutzmann: Drums Phil Lesh: Electric Bass Bob Weir: Rhythm Guitar, Vocals Recording by Betty Cantor-Jackson Mastering by Jeffrey Norman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamH Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Yes it circulated, in fact most of that run circulated I think.That show is hot as hell, not as hot as 6/14 but hot hot hot nonetheless. And how come so little from 6/19? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
