Description: Grateful Dead : Dave's Picks 18 Volume Eighteen : Orpheum Theatre - San Francisco, California ( CA ) : July 16 & 17, 1976 ( 7/16/1976 - 7/17/1976 ) : 3 CD : Limited Edition ' Individually-Numbered ' Set ( of # 16,500 ) : 2016 (1976/2016) Grateful Dead Productions, Inc. / Rhino ( GDP / Rhino ) - R2 552288 : '76 Summer Tour Live-Dead !!! The Monumental ! ' Post-Hiatus ' Grateful Dead " Return ! " to the Bay Area at San Francisco's Orpheum Theatre - on the 1976 Summer Tour !!! In the Brand New ! ... " Blues For Allah ! " Grateful Dead Live Era !!!!! Grateful Dead Fans !!! Wow ... I mean just simply do your Historical Calendar and even Dead Base math ! on this one, and you will quickly-know just exactly where Your ! Spaceship will land. Right on top of the Home Turf ! of the Good Ol' " New ! " Grateful Dead - on July 16 & 17, 1976 - at San Francisco's Beautiful ! Orpheum Theatre ... on the '76 Summer Tour - just shortly-after their Mid-'70's group " Hiatus ". Ripped, Fit ... Rested ! and so-ready to Rock & Roll !!! Holy Grateful Dead !! ... and " Hello ! " to the Gateway of yet Another ! Grateful Dead " Prime ! " Era period -- 1976 > 1977 !!! Can you say ... Air-Tight ! - " On " ! - Fluid ... - Silky-Smooth ! - and so-ready ... to deliver Live Rock & Roll - in a brand new, and arguably even " new & improved " Live G.D. format. Some Fans even prefer '76 to '77, as most of the main points tend to deal with a little more ' freshness ' - set lists a little bit less settled into - and, for lack of a better way to ' say ' it ... just a tad more up-tempo ' pop ' & ' punch ' attack of the beats throughout 2nd Sets, and ' especially ' through 1st Sets. And though '77 might definitely have '76 one-upped on the " Silky-Smooth ", it also might have it a bit more on the Disco-Dead side ... but, down to sheer personal opinion - it's just splitting hairs, and getting down to the real nitty gritty. Personally, I wouldn't all together " trade " '76 for '77 - but ... there are indeed a number of '76 Shows that do crack the '77 " Top-25 " List with ease. And, fortunately for us today - well-over 40-Years ! after this era ... some '76 S.F. Orpheum ! live-action has been Finally ! let out of the Vault !! -- and, I'm most certainly glad to stand behind the fact that this-run is indeed one of the few & the proud '77 " Top 25 " crackers. Both the Boston & S.F. Orpheum Shows got so-much " tape trader " circulation time - back in the '80's & '90's Era ... simply because not only are these Shows so stand-out - but, also because better & better Soundboard copies continues to trickle down. All the way until the Mid/Late-'90's Era - where I personally finally found the copies that I considered " The-Bomb ! ". So, needless to say - I was all eyebrows-up when I saw that this one was going to come down the pro-release circuit pipeline in this Limited Edition 3-CD format ... with the first question I asked myself being -- " Wow ... and now just how ? are they going to make these Shows ( Tapes ! ) sound any-better ??! " And ... what makes me the Happiest of all here - is that this question was so-solidly answered, and then some. As basically ... with action from both ! 7/16/76 & 7/17/76 freshly in your Music Collection arsenal - you can now even consider giving ' staple ' like releases a momentary peaceful rest ( such as ... Cow Palace '76 - Spirit Of '76 - Dick's Picks 33 - Dave's Picks 4 - etc. ) because these S.F. Orpheum Shows are Absolutely ... Extra-Mean !!! - and Everyone is completely spot-on, with you-know-who ( Jerry. ) never even coming close to missing an up-beat, down-beat, while just consistently surfing the horizon-edge of every single attack-spot & jam-pocket like a surfer on a tidal wave. It should also be noted that where you might think there are some timing mis-communications, or musical flubs, basically ... from a pure & simple lack of playing together ( lately ) in the holistic " Rhythm " of the Drums-meets-Base-meets-Bobby Guitar - there is really nothing " off " at all - and any musician worth their weight in Rock & Roll will tell you straight-up ... that ' ain't ' easy. Hands-down one of the most important Grateful Dead releases here of the Post " Hiatus " Era ( 1974 - 1976 ( roughly ) ) - without any question ... and coming right to You ! - through your headphones, into your ears - and completely-deeply straight into your Mind & Soul ... or, as I should probably more-appropriately say -- channeled right-into your ' Dead-Head ' !!! Just think ... Comes A Time > Drums > Other One ! > Space > Eyes > Other One !! > GDTRFB > Sat. Nite !!! Nothing-short ... of ' Live ' G.D. Legend !!! Being there just must have been something-else for those fortunate enough to be inside these Summer '76 SF Orpheum Shows ... and, just as usual - I'm still waiting for all of these silly repairs on that Good Ol' Grateful Dead " Time-Machine " ! Beam Me Up ! --- Give me the Keys ... & I'll Drive ! Ha !! Grateful Dead !!! - 7/16/76 & 7/17/76 S.F. Orpheum Theatre !!!! ... Enjoy !!!!!!!
