═══🎙 CONCERT ANALYSIS
Never had such a good time during the bicentennial celebrations of 1976. The Grateful Dead storm into The Beacon Theatre in New York City for two nights. Then it's a quick jump over the lazy Hudson River to the Capitol Theater in New Jersey for three more shows.
Can the Grateful Dead keep the motor rolling as they kick off a trio of shows in New Jersey? There's only one way to find out.
A Tennessee Jed sample from the podcast:
"Our empathy for the simple life grows, a quiet recognition found in music that carries lessons from a culture we will never experience. Empathy gives way to jealousy and envy for a life we’ve never known. But jealousy is a two-way street. Out there, a teenager sings her heart out by the creek, dreaming of a life on stage under the bright lights of Broadway, a place we’d avoid at all costs."
Check it out.
