Matt Vernon's Collection

Grateful Dead   04/22/1979

Spartan Stadium, San Jose State University, San Jose, CA
Recording SHNID 12001
Media SHN   3 discs
Notes complete mixed sbd sources - Ste 1 sound quality a notch below good boards - a little muddy or tinny, with the latter from the CE hiss reduction applied. Not much happens in set 1 that would make me search for a better sounding source. Set 2 starts with the overplayed Miracle > Bertha > Lovin' triplet. After dispensing with that, the real show starts with Scarlet > Fire. What I noticed here was that Brent's organ work was more active than I remember from later in the year. He plays more interleaving with Garcia. The Estimated > He's Gone > ... > TOO agains shows Brent playing as though he was always a member. Interesting that he sounds well intergated (check out TOO). Set 2 is worth a listen once you factor in the "first Brent show" uniqueness.
