“The fifth show of the Grateful Dead's comeback tour in June 1976 finds the band firing on all cylinders as they settle back into life on the road. A setlist filled with older material (“Candyman,” “Eyes Of The World,” “Tennessee Jed”), new material (“Might As Well,” “Lazy Lightning” > “Supplication,” “Samson and Delilah”), and new arrangements of classics from the Dead's early days (“St. Stephen,""Dancing In The Street”), this new iteration of the Grateful Dead featuring the return of Mickey Hart is one of the most powerful and precise versions of the band to date. With the Wall Of Sound retired, the Dead were playing the intimate confines of small theatres for the first time in years, and the perfection they achieved on this tour is on full display on June 11, 1976, in Boston. The magnificence of the vocal arrangements is one of the many new sonic highlights of the 1976 Grateful Dead, many Dead Heads saying the vocal harmonies never sounded as great as they did in June 1976. Songs like “Looks Like Rain” and “The Music Never Stopped” show off this renewed focus on the spectacular vocals the Dead were able to achieve.” - David Lemieux
