Currently listening to this on my sequential GD odyssey (that I started over 10 years ago)... really loving the extended versions, but mostly the mondo sandwich that consists of newer songs mixed with some old favorites (that I've missed as they weren't played all that much/at all in '72 - '74).
I can't even imagine how cool this show would have been to see live at the awesome Orpheum, or even to hear live on the FM broadcast.
On a side note, I'm really appreciating Bobby more and more with each new contribution (I was never a huge fan, but he's won me over).
check it out!

by the fall of 76 - yes ...IMO
I think they were a little too ....slow on a lot of tunes at the Orpheum (I went to 2 of those shows)
They were tearing up 2 years earlier at Winterland - I missed those days.
plus ...St Stephen sucked
Sorry

agreed, and St Stephen and the Wheel weren't great, but the songs/jams around them somehow makes it work for me.

Some of those halls have the
Some of those halls have the worst imaginable slap backs, and it's unnatural to play against it, almost always causing players to align with it (pre click track of course), leading to a slow pedestrian beat, and all the song tempos become the same (the physical pulse of that room). One of those problems the brain trust identified and eventually digitally mapped out! (Even shaped rooms are worse than odd shaped rooms, and even lengths of wall worse than odd). I've always wondered how much of those 70's shows were influenced by that (they had it solved in the 80's)

Love this show, listened to
Love this show, listened to it many many times. I appreciate the differences in renditions through time.....maybe easier since my first show wasn't until '86. St Stephen is different yes but that works both ways....there is little in the early Dead canon that I hate more than the "William Tell Overture". Cheesy, stupid, pretentious and just bad.
I love that Orpheum run. I remember getting 7/12/76 in a tape trade when I was in high school and wondering why everything was so slow... but it grew and grew on me and I eventually got 7/18/76. The flow of the 2nd set is brilliant! Yes '76 Dead is incredibly opiatic but I'm into it.

And this.... can you name another band that played live nearly uninterrupted for 13 years (1978 is seen as the year by the whiners as when setlists "ossified") who kept their setlists fresh? Aren't deadheads just lucky that the Dead played so many songs in the first place?

Very cool.
Very cool.
I just happen to have received today my TOPO! Colorado software and am in the process of mapping out a trip in that Wimenuche area you recommended... looks like I'll literally have to cross (wade) the Rio Grandio at the inlet of the Rio Grande Reservoir (and I'll be circumnavigating the Rio Grande Pyramid).

NICE...I have been mapping
NICE...I have been mapping out a Green River canoe trip in April, with thanks to our very own Slickrock.
When will we grow up?

That sounds like really fun
That sounds like really fun trip. I assume it requires some shuttling?
Growing up means being able to get a job and make the money we need in order to take care of our responsibilities so we can play like kids in our spare time.

Yes, we will meet up with outfitter in Moab. He drops us at Mineral Bottom (put-in south of the Town of Green River), 5 nights on the river, then get picked up south of the Green/Colorado River confluence at Spanish Bottom at get jet boat ride back to Moab. It will be a glorified wilderness booze cruise. 50+ miles with 4 days of paddling. 4 guys 2 canoes with 1,700lb payload for each boat (yay beer!).

Yes and no. It got tighter through '77 but it lost a bit of the exploratory nature. They still drifted from time to time, but not as much.
