It clearly brought out the best in the Grateful Dead when they opened for the Who as part of Bill Graham's historic Day on the Green Concerts in '76 (can you imagine being there for THAT?). Actually, you won't have to imagine it; this 4-CD set captures both dates in their entirety, including one of the most monumental Dead medleys in band history. That 60-minute monster (10 songs strong: "St. Stephen/Not Fade Away/St. Stephen/Help on the Way/Slipknot!/Drums/Samson and Delilah/Slipknot!/Franklin's Tower/One More") dominates disc two of day one; day two's set features two Garcia solo favorites, "Might As Well" and "The Wheel", and a particularly fine "Ramble on Rose" plus "Might As Well; Mama Tried; Cassidy; Deal; El Paso; Loser; Promised Land; Friend of the Devil; Brown-Eyed Woman; Johnny B. Goode", and much more!
