Description
Step back into one of Grateful Dead's most electric late '70s performances live from the Capitol Theatre, Passaic, New Jersey, November 24, 1978. A legendary WBCN-FM radio broadcast capturing the band at full creative throttle. Performed during a remarkable East Coast run, this show finds Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Bill Kreutzmann, Mickey Hart, Keith Godchaux, and Donna Jean Godchaux delivering a masterclass in improvisation, groove, and psychedelic exploration.
From soaring jams to soulful ballads, every note crackles with the energy of a sold-out Capitol Theatre crowd. The Dead move effortlessly between cosmic improvisation and tight ensemble playing, creating the kind of unpredictable musical journey that made every concert a unique event. Garcia's fluid guitar lines, Lesh's thunderous bass, and the band's telepathic interplay are presented in this live radio broadcast, preserving the atmosphere of a truly unforgettable night.
Whether you're a lifelong Deadhead or discovering the band's live magic for the first time, Big River is an essential addition to any collection - a captivating snapshot of the Grateful Dead in one of their most adventurous and inspired eras.
