Some Good Grateful Dead

Here's an excellent show by the Grateful Dead from Oakland, CA on February 17, 1979. It was the final show with keyboard player, Keith Godchaux, and his wife, Donna. I don't think it's had an official release. The audio is from a good-quality soundboard. 

1979 isn't generally regarded as one of their better years, but this show is hot. Jerry is on fire and Bobby is full of energy and emotion.

This post from Dead of the Day has a short article about the show and links to individual songs if you want to pick and choose. I've listened to about half of it so far and it's all good.
