Show Notes

This week on the Deadpod a fine show from the spring of 1982, one often overlooked due to the notoriety of the next night's performance.

This show, from April 17, 1982 in Hartford Connecticut features quite a nice first set, with fine versions of Bird Song and Jack-A-Roe (which was still relatively new at the time). I also would call your attention to the arrangement of El Paso, which is played at a much slower tempo than the usual polka arrangement, and benefits from that difference, I think. Also an interesting set closer here with 'Man Smart, Woman Smarter'.

The first two songs in this set are from an audience source, the rest come from a soundboard.
