Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Jan. 12, 1979
The Spectrum

Out of a great NFA, this Going Down the Road rocks, Weir is strumming chords like a madman and Phil drops a few bombs for good measure, give it a try.

Great version, slow powerful into then 14 + jamming minutes from an underrated show. Wish there was a SBD, give it a listen anyway.

Must give a nod to the first one, the only one I know of with a middle Jerry solo.

Frost Amphitheatre

Just exactly perfect, the moment when Jerry starts his solo and the sound wave pulsated through the crowd.

Very aggressive transition into Sunshine Daydream, someone calls out 1, 2, 3, 4 and then bam. Worth the listen.

The Music Never Stopped

Indiana Convention Center

The Mid-Section jam also soars, and the final is sick. I don't know a better version from 79' This should have more votes, give it a listen.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Winterland Arena

Listened to this again today, love how laid back the Scarlet jam is, Donna adds a lot, very mellow and cool and the start of Fire is so sublime, so much confidence. The brief distortion at the start of the closing jam just gives me the chills each time I hear it, what a debut!!

Heard it a few times, but today it got my attention, the climax jam is just outstanding. I'm going to give the Matrix a listen, my Clugston-Lucas CBD aud patch is very harsh. This show (3-Night run) should be released.
