Grateful Dead   10/25/1979

Veterans Memorial Coliseum, New Haven, CT
Recording SHNID 19599
Media SHN   3 discs
Notes aud jools - I don't know who recorded this aud but its very good (Steve Rolfe?). No major flaws. And its a good show. The show doesn't have a Brent tune in it which can be a momentum breaker for me. Set 1 begins with DEMI which wasn't in constant rotation in 79. Set 1 is fun and competently played. Set 2 has a good but not over the top Shakedown with a reasonable jam. Passenger is hot and the FOTD in set 2 is a pleasnt pace changer. The Estimated > Eyes is a strong version with good jamming for each tune intheir respective styles. The Space into drums has some good Phil. The drums seemed short (or cut on the tape). The second half is typical well played 79 version of Stella, Good Lovin' and a US Blues encore. I like this show. It is missing some over the top song to make it a strong show outside of 79.
