This week I'm bringing you a show that really showcases, I think, what

Brent Mydland brought to the band - in honor of the 18th anniversary of

his last show with the Grateful Dead which occurred this week. This

show, 9/2/79, is one of those Fall '79 shows where Brent really was out

front and his playing was so spirited that I'm sure he inspired

everyone else.. This week the first set, next week the conclusion.. I

hope you enjoy it!! Grateful Dead Augusta Civic Center Augusta, ME 9/2/79 - Sunday One
