This is the same footage as the MattMan 2004 release but is from the Master VHS and more complete.

My question is why make it impossible to actually see anything with the ridiculous effects on such a gem of found footage. They ruined the video. Great audio. Would have been nice to see something. Why totally destroy the footage??

Thanks so much for your work bringing us these amazing shows.

Fantastic sound, thanks so much. My little Bose speakers are throwing me back in time and space with the crisp, crunchy riffs and beautiful vocals. Spectacular Brown Eyed Women! Jerry, wow. A good reminder of his gift and the band's power and precision.

[@2112CO]

I love 79 reenergize.

[@landonmccalmon7121]

The Mark Severson audience source from this show is one of the best audience recordings you will ever hear. I have been listening to this show for years from this source. So happy others are hearing this one. A superb upload for the masses, my friend. Late summer, 8/27/83 from the Seattle Coliseum is also a very hot performance w/ a great audience capture from D5 Scott and DaWeez. One of the absolute burliest Jack Straw set 1 openers of all-time. Phil just carpet bombs the Seattle Coliseum!

[@BrokedownHouseProd]

Well ... the bad part of youtube is you only get 1 audience track - I use the Mark Severson audience as the back channels for the 5.1 version and mixed with the soundboard as the matrix versions and it is a great audience. You get the you were there feel with it as part of the mix. You can torrent them at www.shnflac.net if you like

Thanks for this, so cool... This is how they looked and sounded when I seen them in Billerica Mass 79

[@edwinhurwitz6792]

That was a fun show!

[@larrydee9265]

Was that at the hockey rink or something funky like that?

[@edwinhurwitz6792]

@@larrydee9265 Yes, known as the Billerica Forum. A local rink with plywood covering the ice, which, by the end of the show had been largely taken off so people could slide around. One of the more informal shows I attended.

[@larrydee9265]

@@edwinhurwitz6792 That's what I thought....met some folks at UCONN from Billerica and they were talking about what a blast it was....just started my GD journey around that time and what a great story this was to hear... Didn't remember if it was a rink or a HS gym... Thanks ✌️

[@DPJeffFeller]

angelic! Thanks to everyone involved with recording and producing this!

[@bryanharrell4059]

Woah! These vids just keepa comin out of nowhere. Never seen this one before. Brent's just over 2 months in and they're just exploring, deciding, colliding and riding on whatever comes next. It's hard for me to imagine that the sound of a Hammond was actually a new sound in the pallet at one point. You don't see much '79 video. Thanks for giving my eyes something to accompany my ears when I listen to this era.

[@tomb613]

Nice viddy!!! Great sound!! Someone will likely stabilize the shakiness with new AI software. So great these are getting out to the masses!!! Cheers and thanks to Kevin Tobin for all his work...

Oh man! I listen to your matrix mixes on the archive. Thank you SO much for all the material! You're a legend.

[@707strait]

Passenger is a highlight to be sure. Great upload

[@D-Fens_1632]

That song was waiting for Brent. I'm a 1965-1979 or so guy at heart and love the 77-78 versions but Brent's presence really made Passenger cook a little more. Hot version.

[@philipbradford1865]

...from a time when Northwest Dead was greeted with the same anticipation, special event feeling and belief for many of us : the good ol' GD was our own west coast Rolling Stones. None since have come close to the live Dead rock and roll experience.

[@pumpkinking5174]

Brent was such a powerhouse. When he joined, the Dead went from standard definition to high definition!

[@frimports]

Their video did not, just kidding of course I’ll take what I can get.

[@goodwi11]

About a month before Jerry dropped Tiger on us.

Why does this video feel like it's from a time machine that went back magically to 1979? Thank you so much!!

There's a tracking feature that exists within Davinci Resolve that I believe could be used to lock down this shot so it doesn't wiggle! Might be worth a shot. (Great Great Stuff here!!!)

[@grassfireu]

Just into the 2nd set and I now have a new favorite concert even though I usually try to be aware of steering clear from hyperbolic declaration ... what's in this shit? edit1: Made it thru drums . . . edit2: Easiest space I ever did; I love Jerry's admiration for Bobby rock star. And I love Mydland so very much. ... Seriously, who am I that I've not seen (heard) this before? I wonder what happens tomorrow.

[@Thresholdmoment]

Thanks for the recording it's great but just to let you know, the transcript lyrics are way off but it was funny when I read peggy-o " the captain fell in love with a lady like a dog" and on brown-eyed women it says " and it looks like the old man is getting known " nah dude, it's: "and it looks like the old man, is getting on "... meaning: getting on in years or getting on with his life.

[@shawnomalley7398]

the sound is the greatest ever but...hate to be a wet blanket but I sure would love to limit the images to d/s and show the band playing a bit more....still, beggars can't be...this is a nug for sure....lots of goodies popping up....quality sounding videos are the best

[@Twotontessie]

I believe this was at the Arena not the Coliseum. RIght next to each other but different venues. Arena a good venue but kind of the "B" team for big rock shows at that time.

[@gratefulpan4707]

perfectly good historic video yet you mess with it

[@BrokedownHouseProd]

I didn't "mess" with it .... whatever video that was recorded that night is there with a better soundtrack. The filler can be skipped over if so desired.
