The Deadpod

This week, the second set from 5/13/81, Providence Civic Center, Providence RI... the band plays a very energetic and tight second set, sparked perhaps, by the naked woman who jumped up on stage and pranced around at halftime..

This week a very underrated show from a very good year, 1981. I love the energy in this show.. and a newly released soundboard really sparkles, sonically..

This week I decided to bring you an excellent show from a very high energy summer tour, that of 1985.. Imaginative setlists made up for what often seemed a frantic pace during this summer tour, and some of the music was very well played, as is evident I think in this week's show.. By the way I'll be away next week, so I'm posting *two* podcasts this week.. be sure and pick them both up!

One of my wonderful listeners wrote me to request this week's show and seeing as it is from the same great year for Dead music as the recently released Three from the Vault, I thought it would be a great listen for this week's deadpod. While I only have a portion of the show in good quality soundboard, I thought it was certainly worth sharing what I have. This show features a monster first set Dark Star as well as one of the all time great Not Fade Away->Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad->Not Fade Away jams.

Hello Friends!An extra deadpod this week - this is an interview that I had with Lee Johnson, Conductor and composer of Dead Symphony #6. Mr. Johnson talks about the process of bringing the Grateful Dead into the classical world and about why he thought their work merited being made into a symphony. I've provided several musical samples of the work as well, so you can hear just what a great job he did on this project. Dead Symphony #6 is available at http://deadsymphony.comYou can hear this special deadpod here:http://www.libsyn.com/media/deadshow/deadpoddeadsym.mp3

This week's Deadpod features a wonderful show from May of 1970.. While recordings from this great year of performances are much too rare we have the good fortune of listening to both the first acoustic set and part of the third, electric set.

I hope you do as well..Grateful Dead - 5/1/70 - FridayAlfred State College - Alfred, NYOne: The Race Is On [2:38] ; Wake Up Little Susie [2:41] % New Speedway Boogie [8:00] ; [2:19] ; Cold Jordan [2:35] ; [0:23] ; Uncle John's Band [6:02] ; [0:08]Three [1:00:05 +] Drums [0:14] > Not Fade Away [8:16] ; [1:15] ; Hard To Handle [6:37] ; [1:21] ; Cryptical Envelopment [2:05] > Drums [2:06] > The Other One [0:16# + #9:28] > Cryptical Envelopment [7:47] ; [0:20] ; High Time [6:53] ; [0:17] % Turn On Your Lovelight [16:53]As always you can listen to the Deadpod here:http://www.libsyn.com/media/deadshow/deadpod060107.mp3Thanks so much for your support!!

This week the second set from 5/8/77 one of the great shows from May of 1977. For many folks its the second set of any Dead show that is the heart of the performance and that is probably very true of this show.

Here's a real treat from 1969.. this show starts with a great acoustic set, occasioned, says Jerry, because Billy has been delayed on his way there.. this week I'm bringing you both the acoustic and electric set (I've had to remove a couple of songs who were just cut too badly to broadcast). While there are several unfortunate cuts, I'm sure you're going to enjoy this beautiful and sometimes raucous, performance.
