Grateful Dead Dick’s Picks Vol. 33—10/9 & 10/10/76, Oakland Coliseum Stadium, Oakland, CA (Limited, Hand-Numbered, 180-Gram 8-LP Set)

Trying to decide which Grateful Dead concert to reissue on vinyl is kind of like ordering from the menu of a three-star restaurant: no matter what you pick, it‚Äôs not just going to be good, it‚Äôs also going to be unique and memorable. Faced with such an embarrassment of riches, and trying to remain true to our vision of hitting a different year with each release, we decided to do what any sensible Dead Head would do: go BIG. Hence, our 8-LP release of Dick‚Äôs Picks Vol. 33! Fresh from a year-and-a-half touring hiatus, and back to full, two-drummer strength, the Dead opened for The Who as part of Bill Graham‚Äôs historic Day on the Green concerts in 1976. This Pick captures both dates in their entirety, and features one of the most monumental medleys (and that‚Äôs sayin‚Äô something!) in band history with a 60-minute, 10-song journey through ‚ÄúSt. Stephen‚Äù/‚ÄùNot Fade Away‚Äù/‚ÄùSt. Stephen‚Äù/‚ÄùHelp on the Way‚Äù/‚ÄùSlipknot!‚Äù/‚ÄùDrums‚Äù/‚ÄùSamson and Delilah‚Äù/‚ÄùSlipknot!‚
