    Strong words, I know. I've listened to a lot of shows, and I keep coming back to this one over and over again. The fall of 1979 was a very hot time for The Boys, and I strongly feel this has to do with the addition of Brent. By the time the fall of '79 came around, he'd been in the band for a little bit and had started adding lots of new voices with the B3, synth and strong piano playing. As a result, everybody else in the band became rejuvinated and the playing is fresh.

    The Jack straw in this show is so incredible that I really just need to suggest that you download this show and crank it up! The previous writer also points out correctly that this is the best Jack Straw EVER! And I am happy to see that someone other than myslef thinks this. I have been searching for this show for: 17years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You do not even understand how excited I am to find this gem of a Jack" straw'.

  • ★★★★★ · 11/6/79 · stebreatty · 2005

    This show is truly representative of an amazing peak year regarding: energy, setlists, effort, band cohesiveness, etc. Math majors...Minus: lethargic uninspired Keith and off key too loud Donna; Additions: the energy from Egypt, Brent, and the completed evolution & full maturity of the double drumming/percussion. Jack a Roe has a solid groove. Along with 5/9/79, this is the greatest Jack Straw ever! Professor Phil Lesh, as in L, esh, d.
