The
Inaugural ( Very 1st ! ) Road Trips ( Vol. 1 / No. 1 )
release ( Brand New / Factory-Sealed ! 3-CD ' Bonus Disc CD ' Set ! ) from the Amazing ! Grateful Dead " Road Trips " Series !!! ... Fall Tour '79 !!!!!
Right
On !!!!! Road Trips Volume 1 / Number 1
... The ' Very 1st ' Inaugural ! Bonus Disc CD ( 3-CD Set ! ) 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 30 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 Fall Tour '79 Era 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 tones 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 New Haven, CT - The Spectrum / Philly, PA - the Cap Centre in the MD ! - Buffalo, NY - Crisler Arena in MI ( The Mit ! ) - and, last - but most definitely not-least ... at the Nassau Coliseum in Long Island, NY !!! And, unlike some of the later releases in this
Series
( full-Shows + addl. segments from other Shows ), this one is a true-to-form " Road
Trip ! "
and it really takes you along for the ride on a portion of the exact '79 Fall Tour that the band took close to 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 ( close-to ... ) '80's G.D. - as this is indeed the mouth
& the gateway of that Magical ! G.D. Decade + !!! This " Complete ! " 3-CD release ( from 2007 ! ) is just a plain and simple Heater !!! Also, like many of these
releases -
not all, but ... ' many ' of the main gems & jams ( but not all - i.e. the Morning Dew !!! )
do indeed happen
on the ' Bonus Disc ' portion of this 3-CD ( 2-CD + 1-CD Bonus Disc ) release. 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 '80's Dead Enthusiasts who can just never get enough
of this
stuff ... Just a Truly-Incredible '79 release - Amazing !!! Fall Tour '79 !!!!! Enjoy !!!!!!!
