Brent’s vocals on this song are better than Donna’s versions (except maybe from the ’77 shows (like the Philly Spectrum on 4-22, Palladium, NY on 5-4, and Barton Hall, Cornell Univ. I’m not a huge Dancin’ fan, but I really like this version. Set 2 from this show is as good as Set 1. The remastered edition of Garcia features the album's original ten songs plus eight bonus tracks, including alternate takes of "Sugaree" and "Loser." Anyone who doesn’t have Garcia as their top 5 guitarists need to have their head examined! Plus his vocals have truly been missed since his death in 1995. The album was co-written by Grateful Dead percussionist Bill Kreutzmann (who plays drums on the record) and longtime Grateful Dead/Garcia lyricist Robert Hunter. On the 1972 solo record, Garcia handled the vocals as well as acoustic guitar, electric guitar, pedal steel guitar, bass, piano and organ duties. It has his 5 studio CDs, plus 4 hours of previously unreleased studio music. When Garcia released his first solo record in 1972, Deal was certainly the centerpiece of that album! If you don’t own “All Good Things” (the 6-CD box set from Jerry Garcia), go to his website and buy it! It’s awesome. The guitar and keyboards are totally in sync! Stagger Lee is super mellow and Bob Weir’s rhythm guitar and incredible vocals are easily displayed on Lost Sailor > Saint of Circumstance > while ending the set with a kick-ass version of Deal (Garcia’s trademark). It’s easy to see how Garcia came from country, folk, and blue grass roots with the way he plays guitar in Me and My Uncle and Big River! That’s just classic boogie music at its best! And if you want to know how Garcia and Mydland developed such incredible chemistry, all’s you have to do is listen to this version of Brown Eyed Women. Any time a show starts with Jack Straw, you know you are in for a treat. This first set rocks! It’s not your typical first set, but every song is played with incredible energy and precision. I”, it’s like awakening a sleeping giant (as in Garcia). Maybe with the release of “Road Trips Vol. I don’t know what it is about these Fall/Winter shows from 1979, but I definitely keep coming back to them. It is at least deserving of some type of discussions (just apparently quietly). Someone had posted on another website that this could be the best Dead show ever - it is absolutely up there. Also, this is probably my favorite all-time Stagger Lee, and one of the best Black Peter's around. I was skeptical, initially of the Caution jam, but it definitely does not dissapoint, get's way out there, and is wildly intense leading up to a massive Phil bomb-infused Other One. I really love the opening sequence of Jack Straw and Candyman. This show features great song tempo's and the selections are great thoughout. I could have handled a lot more ot that funky synth sound. There is no doubt this combo could(sh) have become a mainstay for years to come. This song combo really is another best kept secret. Each of the '79 tours had huge highlights, especially the entire fall tour throughout the winter and NYE.Īll of the Dancin'>Franklin's from '79 were terrific (most-notably the Buffalo blowout ver.). I started going to shows in 84, and getting tapes around that time and never really heard too much from '79, I guess it may have been considered a transition year, but not for me. I am not sure why I never heard anything about this year. It could be one of the top 5 or 6 best all around years - imo.
