Peakin' At the Beacon: The Dead Return to NYC on a Monday Night, June 14, 1976, Nice Little Betty Board

soundcheck on this night



The Grateful Dead left Manhattan and The Sidewalks of New York on a Tuesday March 28, 1972 on their way to London and returned to Manhattan for the first time on one more Monday Night June 14, 1976.

On this Monday night, the Dead opened with Cold Rain & Snow and starting in the middle of the set ran through Might As Well, Lazy Lightning>Supplication, Tennessee Jed and one of those nice long 1974ish Playing In the Band set-closer.

Set 2 was cool as the band opened the set the same way as the previous show 6-12 in Boston (my second show)

The Wheel, Samson & Delilah, High Time, The Music Never Stopped, Crazy Fingers-> Dancin' In The Streets-> Cosmic Charlie-> Help On The Way-> Slipknot!-> Franklin's Tower-> Around & Around, E: U.S. Blues    Get the 320mps here

Peakin' At The Beacon June 14, 1976




John "Rock'N'Roll" Rockwell gave the official word on June 16, 1976 that the Grateful Dead were back in New York City.  This was the first Manhattan show in more than four years since March 28, 1972. And look there is a New York Times mention of Europe '76 (I must have missed those tapes)

In honor of Butch Trucks, we present this Beacon show. While the Dead only played two shows ever at the Beacon (this night and the next), the Allmans played 238 shows there (I only saw one). Can you imagine 2,600 seats in the middle of New York City?

My friend Bobby Morris told me he and 20 high school friends went to this show and the next night.  Where did they get so many tickets??

There is a nice soundcheck video below as well.  Have fun kids. Listen to this interesting 1976-only Crazy Fingers>Dancin in the Street>Cosmic Charlie
You also have to love one of the last standalone first set Playing In The Bands (which ended in 1977)
