Inspired - that's the word that comes to mind when I think of this performance.. this is a wonderful piece of work - surely one of the better shows of 1976, and this nearly 2 hour second set features some real gems. Lazy Lightin'>Supplication>Let It Grow.. the slow and beautiful St. Stephen, and the Stella Blue, of course.. oh that Stella Blue.. the end of which will surely melt your heart.
I hope you enjoy this, savor it and remember.... Never had such a good time....

This week's Deadpod comes from another great request - this for a show that while widely traded back in the day, often had less than stellar sound. I think this copy is quite good however and am happy to be able to share with you this fantastic show from 1976. Both sets are very well played, and I enjoy the sound of Phil throughout.. Jerry's vocals are also spot on, especially in the second set as you'll see next week. Originally broadcast on KSAN, but this remix really moderates most of the disagreeable aspects of earlier versions.
Hope you enjoy it..

I've had the jones for some early mindbending Dead for awhile.. I finally decided this week was as good a time as any to feed it.. This week's Deadpod features fragments from two shows that took place 43 years ago, February 2nd and 3rd at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland OR. It's great to hear Tom Constanten on these tapes, I especially enjoy him on the Clementine from the 2nd.. that show on the 2nd also features the last time Bobby used these early lyrics:
"When I woke up this morning, my head was not in sight I would ask the walls about it, but they vanished overnight I could not think or spell my name, or fly there was no way and the heat came round and busted me for smiling on a cloudy day"
The 2/3 show was supposedly one of the shows used in producing 'Anthem of the Sun'.. This features a rare 'Born Cross Eyed' and a great 'Eleven'..
Hope you lose yourself in it.. :)

This week's Deadpod is like a Christmas present that you forgot about and didn't pay proper attention to for a time and rediscover it joyfully and realize it was a true treasure.. This tape was put out right around Christmas by Jamie Waddell over at Lossless Legs as a Christmas gift, and I'm happy to be able to share it this week with you.. Legion of Mary.. enough said? Probably for most of you.. certainly one of the greatest if short-lived side bands that Jerry Garcia worked in this show comes to us from April 12th, 1975 in Scranton PA. It was the 'late show' that night! Man how I would've like to have been in the house for either or both of these.. this show has that funky mix of jazz, reggae, blues and rock which made Legion of Mary a one of a kind band.. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do..

I didn't make the Deadpod go black today.. but I would like to appeal to all of you to voice your opposition to this attempt at Internet censorship and control

The Deadpod would NOT be allowed to be published if this bill becomes law.

I appeal to all of you to make your voices heard in opposition to this horrible piece of legislation..

my thanks..

This week's second set from May 26th, 1993 features believe it or not probably the finest version of Playin' in the late 90s era. This is a real scorcher and the drums in the middle of the sandwich is very tasty as well.. Crazy Fingers is also quite nice and I'm a fan of almost any China Dolls... I hope you'll give this one a listen I am sure you won't regret it..
