Well, if it is summertime then the time is indeed right.The last night of three comes with the pressure of a radio simulcast and high expectations on a Saturday Night in New Jersey. Can the Grateful Dead pull it off?Here's a hint:<blockquote>"There are thousands of people out there, listening at home parties, through headphones, on transistors, in the woods, at the base of an abandoned railroad trestle while sitting on cases of beer, in a field where a group of cars is arranged in a circle, doors and windows open, tuned to the only game in town. </blockquote><blockquote>We must let them know they are as much a part of us as we are of them. That’s right, it’s Saturday night!" </blockquote>Check it out.📚 LINKS & RESOURCES🔗 Follow along with music on: <a href="6-19 https://relisten.net/grateful-dead/1976/06/19?source=3877624" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Relisten</a>🔗 Navigate The Series🗺 NAVIGATE THIS TOUR🎯 New to the show?

The Grateful Dead storm into The Beacon Theatre in New York City for two nights. Then it's a quick jump over the lazy Hudson River to the Capitol Theater in New Jersey for three more shows.There is some deep soul-searching after last night's performance. The lack of an encore has thrust doubt among the faithful. Were we not worthy? Was it a technical issue? Were they ever here at all?These questions answered and more in this meg-deep dive.<blockquote>"Last night’s lack of an encore has emboldened us to the point of obsession. And the Grateful Dead will pay the price. C’mon, children, clap your hands and invoke the spirits of your ancestors. Awaken them to join us in what we will surely make a Friday night of redemption. </blockquote><blockquote></blockquote><blockquote>This is our band now, they work for us. </blockquote><blockquote></blockquote><blockquote>That’s how it goes in New Jersey. We gave you the benefit of the doubt last night, but not tonight. Tonight, you shall receive the full brunt of our ire. </blockquote><blockquote></blockquote><blockquote>But there is a road to redemption. </blockquote><blockquote></blockquote><blockquote>You will channel that energy into flowing musical notes that envelop us like a cocoon. We will emerge transformed, experiencing a revival of the soul.
