Grateful Dead 1976 August 04 | Roosevelt Stadium New Jersey

27 images Created 6 Jul 2009

Roosevelt Stadium August 4, 1976. Photographs taken during the day in the hours leading up to The Grateful Dead Concert. Views of the crowd, friends, and general goings on. Of interest, the light and sound crew booth. These are all the photographs from a 20 exposure roll of Kodachrome 64. Wish it was a 36 exp roll, was too conservative with film in my youth.

To this Gallery I am adding a selection of newly scanned images which do not appear on photog.com/gdead. This single image tacked to the end of this gallery is one of my favorite Jerry Photo's from this night.
