' : 1-CD : 2007 (1979/2007) Grateful Dead Productions, Inc. / Rhino ( GDP / Rhino ) - GRA2-6001 : Brand New ! : Very-Rare !! Blistering-Hot ! 1979 Fall Tour Grateful Dead in ' both ' Maryland ! & New York ! from >>> Nassau Coliseum ( 10/31/79 ) - Capital Center ( 11/8/79 ) & Buffalo Memorial Auditorium ( 11/9/79 ) !!!!!! The Inaugural ( Very 1st ! ) Road Trips " Bonus Disc CD " ( Vol. 1 / No. 1 ) release from the Amazing ! Grateful Dead " Road Trips " Series !!! ... G.D. Road Trippin' on the East Coast - Mid-Atlantic - on Fall Tour '79 !!!!! Right-On !!!!! Road Trips Volume 1 / Number 1 ... The ' Very 1st ' Inaugural Bonus Disc CD release from this Fantastic ! Series - the one that kicked-off the frenzy, and all of our fellow " Road Trips " addictions. Folks, this one is simply a blistering-hot Fall Tour '79 Grateful Dead treasure ! 1979 Grateful Dead is a beautiful time in the Band's development, and this is coming from someone with a fine-tuned & adoring " '80's Dead " ear. This is the next-step in the evolution from the Pigpen, T.C. and Keith & Donna Eras. It's Brent time now, and he is a Very-Big-Man ! in a small package. This guy can bring the Heat ! ... & the Muscle !! When I've gotten into drag down anti-Brent conversations over the last 25 years, here's what I always would say : " Brent Mydland has more talent & raw soul in his little pinky finger than most musicians could every even dream of - period. " And ' Thanks ' specifically to Bob Weir ( & Jerry Garcia ), Brent very willingly joined their ( & our ! ) Team. ' THE ' Grateful Dead !!! Twelve straight years of Brilliant ! Live and Studio Music for the rabid Dead Fans. Brent played his Very-1st Show with the Band in San Jose, CA on 4/22/79 and the best part of this Rare " Bonus Disc " release is that two key things happen ... Brent & the rest of the Band have begun to work out the kinks of the 1st six-months ( hence, the ' adjustment period ' ), and this release captures them at Three different high-energy East Coast venues in October & November '79 on Fall Tour - which was really the first stage of them letting loose together, and taking daring chances as a true unit. Clearly the Fans ( and the Boys ) were able to reap the rewards of this synergy that was becoming very fine-tuned - with a very bright future ahead. And secondly, Jerry Garcia begins to enter into three fine key stages of appreciation ( or - musical love affairs, if I may ) of Brent and his vocal and musical contributions on stage, his brand new Doug Irwin Axe " Tiger ! ", and his highly-audible & increased passion for his MXR ( script-logo ! ) Distortion + pedal. To put it frankly, Jerry's increased aggressive picking attack & nastier / moodier tone begin to have more guts ! with the increased use of distortion, and with the swiftest of authority & command. This '79 Fall Tour is just downright Smokin' Hot !, and this initial Road Trips " Bonus Disc " effort remains very true-to-form in the fact that it pulls smoking-segments & many Moments of Magic ! from both Maryland & New York >>> 10/31/1979 ( Nassau Coliseum NY ) - 11/8/1979 ( Cap Center MD ! ) & 11/9/1979 ( Buffalo Memorial Aud. NY ). Unlike some of the later releases in this Series ( full-Shows + addl. segments from other Shows ), this one is a True ! " Road Trip " and it takes you on a portion of the exact one the Band took 40-years ago ! - thus sharing a nice chunk of the true-goodies, in order as they authentically happened live on stage. I've talked to people that feel this 1st ' Inaugural ' Road Trips Vol. 1 No. 1 Bonus Disc CD release was actually the very best of all, and that it continued to stand above all others throughout the rest of the series. I personally enjoy plenty of them, and it would be hard to pick favorites - but I can certainly understand this valid argument - and, especially if you love your '80's G.D. - as this is indeed the mouth & the gateway of that Magical ! G.D. Decade + !!! This Bonus Disc release is just a plain and simple Heater ! Also, like many of these releases - many of the main gems & jams ( but not all - i.e. the Morning Dew !!! ) do happen on the ' Bonus Disc ' portion. I think I'm going to take the initiative at this time to label this one an Absolute ... " Must-Have for Deadheads ", and it's a complete no-brainer for all of the Early-80's Enthusiasts ! who can just never get enough of this stuff ... Just a Truly-Incredible ! '79 release - Amazing !!! Fall '79 in New York !!! & in the Good Ol' MD !!!!! Enjoy !!!!!!!
