Music Of The Day brings you The Grateful Dead Live at the Nassau Coliseum on 1-11-197. This is a great quality audience recording and we find that 1979 does not get much notice in the scope of the Dead’s timeline. Give this show a listen and you’ll hear some real energy (and even some interesting lyrics on Jack Straw).

Tasting Notes

Set aside the Band politics at the time and listen to the music play! Does Bobby actually sing “We used to play for Acid/Now we play for Clive”? Deal is a rousing first-set closer and how about a 79 Trucking>Other One! Let us know what you think in the comments below!
