fall 79 is red HOT, with a few imhhhhhhho subpar shows but the hot ones smoking. Jerry's had time to get comfortable with Tiger, and Brent is fully ABOARD the psychedelic bus!

Faves:

Sept MSG's
11/6 Philly INCREDIBLE pre-drums II
11/9 Buffalo
12/1 Pitts
12/5 Chicago
NYE run Oakland

I'm a big fan of 10-31-79 Nassau. I think it's the most polished/perfect (but not necessarily the best) Shakedown they ever did. Vocal's are almost studio perfect. Jerry often had to strain on those first couple opening lines. The rest of the show is pretty good too.

I was going to mention this. Pretty much anything from Oct through Dec. is pretty sick for the reasons mentioned above. The Franklin's from this period are enormous and a joy to listen to.
