Deal

Civic Center

Blazin' hot smokeshow of syncopated bends, slides, and hammer ons that turns the intensity up to 11

Poplar Creek

Clarence Clemons sits in for the whole show and really is a great addition. They rock this Let It Rock better than anywhere else I have heard anywhere

Very strong throughout. Excellent Weir vocals. Garcia delivers.

Alabama Getaway
Dec. 26, 1979
Oakland Auditorium

Gr8fulTerraPin nails it in the comments above. I've been listening to shows in chronological order for days now and I'm up to 1979 and the difference with the addition of Brent (and the subtraction of Donna and Keith) is huge and positive. Also Jerry is just killing it with the rockandroll.

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

Even Bobby's slide practice sounds decent

Bobby is jammin' out. So is Jerry, as you might have guessed.

This is what you can do with a keyboard playing motherfucker like Brent Mydland
Werewolves of London
July 8, 1978
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Great performance of a semi-novelty song. I could do without Bobby's slide practice though. At one point Jerry intervenes over Bob's slide with a much better jam to distract.
