I can only second what the other reviewers have said. Fall '79 has to be one of the Dead's best tours. Their Brent-era sound was just starting to fire on all pistons, and Jerry was consistently playing in the pocket night after night. His voice is strong, Tiger sounds amazing, and his solos were inspired. Phil just began using his Irwin Tiger look-alike bass on this tour. It adds a rich punchy tone to the mix, reminiscent of Big Brown. Brent is playing a "dynoed" Rhodes piano and B-3 organ.

This He's Gone is absolutely Killer. This tour is one of the best ever! He also may be right about the rating, but I had to give it a 5 becuase I didn't notice the He's gone cut at first listen.

Well I say, these are some of the most emotional and charged versions so far in the 70's. Love that Wharf Rat!
