Grateful Dead : Road Trips Vol. 1 – Fall’79 – Bonus Disc! 1979 Fall Tour in’ Both!! : 1-CD : 2007 (1979/2007) Grateful Dead Productions, Inc. / Rhino (GDP / Rhino) – GRA2-6001 : Very-Rare! 1979 Fall Tour Grateful Dead in’ both’ Maryland! 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 release from the Amazing! Grateful Dead ” Road Trips ” Series!!! Road Trippin’ on the East Coast – Mid-Atlantic – on Fall Tour’79!!!!! 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. 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! 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! 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! 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. 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 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. As this is indeed the mouth & the gateway of that Magical! 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. 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… 79 release – Amazing!!! Fall’79 in New York!!! & in the Good Ol’ MD!!!!!
