If I ever get to joyfully skip to my destination I'd hear this theme en route. Relentless yet not mean/crunchy like previous year's IAON greats.

8+ minutes of twitching and dodging. This show is easily strongest most complete of Godchaux Winter '79

Bobby's guitar is always as fun to listen to as Jerry's! Bobby will even tell you that ;)

This one reminds me of 5/13/78 Spectrum The early part of the jam is kind of a mess but the ending is very pleasing

Springfield Civic Center Arena

On 10/24/79 The Grateful Dead declared themselves royalty to the city of Springfield. The contract was filled with a bunch of legal terms but the message WHARF RAT: THE RELENTLESS RALLY CRY THAT WILL STRIKE DOWN ON ANYONE WHO WISH TO COMMIT HERESY BY ATTEMPTING OVERTHROW THE REGAL ROCKERS was written loud and proud on the document's front page About ten years later these 4 fingered yellow people showed up, laughed and turned the speakers down. GD had helluva run!
