Shakedown Street
May 11, 1979
Billerica Forum

This is the boy's first great Shakedown with Brent IMO. Weir is playing futuristic (mid 80's) type riffs all song. Brent is handing out orders by cracking a fun house whip. Jerry and Phil are smirking and fueling the engine that's challenging this new formula.Two shows after this one and the band would head to the west coast and when they return in the Fall and they'll already have a completely different sound to invade East coast arenas. I encourage all to cherish/explore their mischievous May '79 side.
Franklin's Tower
May 11, 1979
Billerica Forum

This one is drenched in that Science Fiction bluegrass carnival sound of May '79. Weir and Brent are musical mercenaries kind enough to let Jerry finish off the crowd with a flurry. Crowd's reaction says it all.

Energizer Bunny 1/2Step. Jerry and Brent pleasantly drone on into a cookin' Franklin's segue
