Grateful Dead - 1979-11-04 - Providence, RI (SBD)

1970s - #3: Dave Lemieux (the Dave in Dave's Pick's) once noted that the Dead's performances in fall of 1979 felt fresh. That in large part was thanks to new keyboardist Brent Mydland, whose impact on the band, according to Lemieux, was "instant, inspired and inspiring." The Dead also brought to the table during that time a slew of new songs, which would be released the following year on the Go To Heaven album, including Alabama Getaway,  Far From Me, Althea, Feel Like A Stranger, Lost Sailor, and Saint of Circumstance. This soundboard recording captures the Dead during that fall run, in Providence on November 11, 1979, 46 years ago today.  By the way, the next two nights in Philadelphia have both been officially released, so you know this show catches the band at a peak.
