═══🎙 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 vibe inside the shows match the outside heat? Well, if it is summertime then the time is indeed right.

The last night of three comes with the pressure of a radio simulcast and high expectations on a Saturday Night in New Jersey. Can the Grateful Dead pull it off?

Here's a hint:

"There are thousands of people out there, listening at home parties, through headphones, on transistors, in the woods, at the base of an abandoned railroad trestle while sitting on cases of beer, in a field where a group of cars is arranged in a circle, doors and windows open, tuned to the only game in town.

We must let them know they are as much a part of us as we are of them. That’s right, it’s Saturday night!"

Check it out.
