1979 Fall Part 2

In searching through all the tangles of vines that grace this site I found very few shows from 1979. I have some very quality soundboards from the fall tour of 1979. These shows absolutly rock.

The band sounds so energized with newbie Brent who has such a funky sound with his H-3 and Fender Rhodes. This transition type year for the Dead in which they were pushing Go to Heaven with a lot of Alabama Getaway's, extendo Althea's, but still jamming Passenger, 'Disco' Dancin' in the Streets, and Earth Shattering Other One's. These shows are filled with great 2nd set pre-drums jams that seemed to have a Caution type sound to them. Jerry and Brent seem to hang around well into drums during a lot of the shows.

If anyone is interested in this I have 6 shows that I think will proudly represent this period. I will divide these into two vines as they will be recorded on CDR's and I don't want to send 18 discs.
