Very tasty Spanish jam out of space running seamlessly into TOO> GDTRFB>Dew. Great second set !

Magic in Saratoga! You can tell when Jerry chips in on the refrain, he's having a good old time.

VERY laid back version with subdued guitar work letting Keith and Phil shine through.Not sure I've heard another like this.

Great Jerry/Brent interplay. This whole damn show smokes if you can get past the lack of a SBD. The Huston/Miller remaster ain't too shabby.

How have I never heard this show? IMO, one of the best of '78. Killer drums>space leading into a funky, funky NFA. Musta been some top shelf kool-aid that night

This is a Monster! LIG is kinda my song of the month and I've been listening to A Lot of them........this version is truly Heady. May be my new favorite.

I've been digging the fall of '79 for about a month now - there's some really incredible shows on that tour. With that spring's addition of Brent, it seems like we're hearing a rejuvenated band hitting their stride. It may have been autumn but the band's blossoming with beautiful new growth.

Just discovered this show!! I'm in love. Another scorcher from the fall of '79. This is the Dead doing what they do best.

Another post Brent show that's making me rethink the 90's. I like this version a lot.....Very unique. I'm really digging the Hornsby jams and I think Jerry was too. This deserves a boost up. Good call!
