Beautiful, unrushed reading from one of the best nights of the year.

Some of the most interesting stuff from Phil, ever. Even with the brutal cut around the 15:36 mark.

Providence Civic Center

Excellent rendition. Little Jerry rif towards the end the likes of which I’d not heard before. Rockin’ first set up and down the line.

Golden Hall, Community Concourse

Couldn’t agree more - light’s out ‘79er! And don’t miss the preceding Me & My Uncle for some similarly stellar stuff.
Take A Step Back

Nassau Coliseum

With complete respect for all of the other greats, this gets my vote for numero uno. Heck, it’s a Take a Step Back Sandwich!:-)
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Aug. 5, 1979
Oakland Auditorium Arena

Love the generous, laid-back intro to Scarlet and related Bobby effects (ala 10/22/78). Equally interesting transition to Fire that starts with the Scarlet coda before graciously moving on into Fire. Classic early Brent combo!
