Critical reception

On AllMusic, Timothy Monger said, "With percussionist Mickey Hart back in the lineup full-time and a clutch of new material both from the Blues for Allah LP as well as various members' solo and side projects, the rejuvenated Dead set out to reestablish themselves on the road with a summer 1976 tour. Captured during a ten-day run by longtime engineer Betty Cantor-Jackson, this set featured previously unreleased complete-show recordings..." [6]
