Summary
This week's Deadpod features some really unique music from the summer of 1976.. this one comes from the famous run at the Orpheum Theater in San Francisco, from July 16th, 1976.. We only have the 2nd set of this show in soundboard quality so that is what I'm going to present.. I think you'll agree that this is a fine example of the more exploratory side of the band that was unfolding after the hiatus of '75 and before the signature sound of 1977.. The entire run is quite worth exploring, and many would argue that the next night, with its magnificent 'Comes A Time' would be a better choice, but we'll keep that in our pocket for a future Deadpod.. This second set has some really unique music, I'm very fond of the Playin'>Jam>Cosmic Charlie.. wowza! and what a set list... not only does Samson follow that, but another great 'Spanish' Jam.. then the Playin' reprise following the Wheel.. just when you think the surprises are surely over.. we get a GREAT 'High Time'.. some folks don't care for this more jazzy or improvisational side of the band, but after its been a bit since I've heard any I am refreshed when I hear it.. I hope you find it so as well..

| 0:07.0 | This week I was going back to a run that took place back in July of 1976 at the Orpheum Theater in San Francisco, California. |
| 0:15.8 | Hard to pick a show out of this run. |
| 0:17.4 | I think they're all fabulous. |
| 0:19.2 | Decided to bring you the second set from the Friday night show that took place on July 16th |
| 0:24.5 | 1976. Many people would argue that the next night was better. There are more |
| 0:28.9 | complete tapes available and the next night has a fantastic |
| 0:32.3 | comes a time in it. |
| 0:33.4 | However, I decided to play this one this week. |
| 0:35.6 | This is only the second set. |
| 0:37.4 | Starts out with playing the band into a great jam. |

| 0:59.7 | Then they play a great high times. |
| 1:01.6 | They end the set with Sugar Magnolia and come back with a |
| 1:04.2 | great US Blues encore. I think this is a great summer of 76 show. The next |
