At the end of BEW you can hear someone say "Did you know tonight is Bob's birthday..." Someone yells "Yeah, happy birthday Weir." So is the date on the show wrong or is there a joke happening? Bob's birthday is Oct 16...same as mine, my son, and John Mayer. Just wondering what the birthday comment was. Any ideas?

Music. Sugaree pretty hot out of the gate

they are sounding real good on everything.

Including B.E.Women , Cassidy

Drop out on the Board is the only reason for 4 stars.

Good tune selection for 2nd set

If you listen to the drop-out during DANCIN' that is why in general i avoid most audience shows. I really don't want to hear folks going Woof! Woof! to the Grateful Dead -not that I haven't also gone Woof! Woof! at a show but i don't need to hear that aspect of the live music if I can avoid it,

I guess the alternative would be a big hole in the set or only a partial tune like some tapes from 67-73.

So I don't know what the answer is? As far as this show 5 for performance, 4 for what we grok from it.

Which isn't to shabby-- IT's THE DEAD!!!

the ROSES as a ballad closer? Wow!

And it is in the right order because you can hear the band discussing Sugar Mag but they go for e) Johnny 'B'



Ben FRANKLIN'S still famous in Philly

& the TOWER Theater is still rockin.

So in the Spirit of 1976

" Franklin's tower there hangs a bell

It can ring, turn night to day

Ring like fire when you lose your way"
