it's like a big-ass sparkling flawless diamond with perfectly cut multiple facets on display in a museum laid out on velvet with cool purple lighting

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.
