This entire show, especially second set, feels like the true Brent tribute. First after his death, Bob's singing is beautiful, band playing impeccably

Simply put, incredible. Second one after Brent's death, Vince only still. Really excellent playing on everyone's part, even Vince is trying to dig in

Ladies and Gentlemen, BRENT MYDLAND! *backed by Captain Trips and his Daytrippers* As good a Little Light as any

They don't call it a Throw>Away encore for no reason - decent end but no real jamming highlights

Top notch Wharf takes me by surprise, especially this Vince solo show. Jerry is emotive when he sings, good sign

Came to add how masterful the Reprise after UJB is, really excellent stuff
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
May 9, 1979
Broome County Arena

First Brent Era China Rider, starts off on a high. Audience is really into it

Really solid version, with good AUD's out there. Long and funky
Samson and Delilah

Alumni Stadium, University of Massachusetts

Just to add more, probably one of the finest Samson's of '79. Band is completely gelled together by the second set, complete fire with this one. Band sounds really great on the Glassberg AUD
