    The Grateful Dead Live at the Cow Palace - New Year's Eve 1976
  

*by D***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2011*

There are many superb live recordings of the Grateful Dead, and Live at the Cow Palace - New Year's Eve 1976 is definitely one of the best!  This was a fascinating era for the Grateful Dead and this show is a great chronicle of those days.  As the other reviews have stated, there are many of the classic Grateful Dead jams on this fantastic HDCD: Help On The Way/Slipknot!, Playing In The Band (of course!), and an absolutely legendary Sugar Magnolia > Eyes Of The World > Wharf Rat > Good Lovin' > Samson & Delilah jam!  But that being said, I don't want to suggest these are the only great performances!  The whole show is excellent!  If you don't have this show, and if you have attended many of this great band's live shows, you will definitely want to have this package in your collection!  Even though I have heard the FM recording many times, I am totally satisfied with adding this great recording to my collection!  As a great man once said many years ago, "There is nothing like a Grateful Dead concert!"  And this recording from the 1976 New Year's Eve show at the Cow Palace is a testament to that for sure!

    Jerry and his Bean
  

*by T***Y on Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2008*

It's a B Plus show with excellent sound that bumps up it's "star rating". There is a slow jam into a Samson and Delilah like no other and, later,  a Morning Dew so good and long that rivals it's 77 iterations.Jerry plays well overall, and the singing is good, and Phil and Bob are well represented in the mix.Okay, so I WAS there, and it's a nostalgia show for me, sure enough and that probably did cause me to give it an extra star. I'm ambivalent about 1976 just as the reviews show, but after a slow start the band plays very well. The Good Lovin rocks, the Help on the Way is short but jazzy and leads into a deep Allah flavored space jam that's pretty doggone long.If you're a deadhead, like me, and I know you are, you will enjoy this show, because it's nothing like that hard rockin 77 sound, more like a 73-74 show, but with that Jerry bending the Travis Bean guitar sound.So: a B plus show, killer Dew, great sound, Travis Bean era consistently good with A plus nuggets.

    The dead in transition: Simply average
  

*by J***9 on Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2013*

Really have a hard time getting into this set. The sound is excellent, but the band seemed to be going thru the motions. After coming back from a hiatus away from group playing, from my perspective, they were unsure of what direction they wanted to go. As many have mentioned, many of the songs are a slower tempo than usual and much safer than most shows. You almost have the feeling that they were at the crossroads and in search of a new identity. Possibly, they recognized this and regrouped before heading out for the great road show that was 1977. Jerry, soon after, found a new toy with the Mu-tron guitar effect that created a whole new stratospheric realm he could tap into, which might have been just what he needed to rediscover his Mojo. Cause he definitely didn't have it on this night.I'm sure I'll listen again, but with over 60 shows in my collection, this will be one that gets limited action. I can honestly say that listening to this whole show, I never had that holy S feeling and smile on my face where I just had to play that great tune again.
