The Deadpod

• Dead Show/podcast for 12/5/25

  This week we pick up the second set from the band's performance on November 14th, 1987 in Long Beach California.  A strong opening finds them opening with a nice 'Maggie's Farm' into 'Cumberland Blues'.. Bobby flubs the first line of the vocals but nevertheless a great high energy start. 'Playin' In the Band' follows, while a bit short, this still contains some nice jamming. 'Terrapin Station' is very well sung and leads nicely into drums>space.   Post Drums highlights include a heartfelt 'Stella Blue' and a wonderful closing 'LoveLight'.  'The Mighty Quinn' was always a great encore.   Grateful Dead Long Beach Arena Long Beach, CA 11/14/1987 - Saturday Two      Maggie's Farm [6:19] > Cumberland Blues [4:27] ; Playing In The Band [7:48] > Terrapin Station [12:20] > Drums [6:52#] > Space [3:56] > I Need A Miracle [8:23] > Stella Blue >Throwing Stones [9:00] > Turn On Your Love Light [6:52] Encore      The Mighty Quinn (Quinn The Eskimo) [3:57]   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod120525.mp3

  Happy Thanksgiving!  As is my tradition here on the Deadpod, Thanksgiving is the time for Acoustic Dead. This year I've found two sets of fine acoustic Dead that I thought you would enjoy. The first is from July 30, 1970 at the Matrix in San Francisco and the second from earlier that year, on May 14th, in Kirkwood Missouri.  There's only one repeat in the two sets - Candyman - but I didn't think you'd mind..   Grateful Dead The Matrix San Francisco, CA 7/30/1970 - Thursday Three - 25:26:00      To Lay Me Down [6:20][0:39]  Dire Wolf [4:05][0:07]  Candyman [6:37][0:09]%[1:05] % Rosalie McFall [3:35] % A Voice From On High [2:59]%[0:34 Intro]  Swing Low Sweet Chariot [2:50]  Grateful Dead Meramec Community College Kirkwood, MO 5/14/1970 - Thursday      One - 28:21:00      Intro [1:51]  Don't Ease Me In [2:54][1:35]  Friend Of The Devil [3:27][0:42]  Deep Elem Blues [6:07][0:13]  Silver Threads And Golden Needle [3:36][1:55]  Candyman [5:26]   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:   http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod112725.mp3   I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who listen to the Deadpod and those of you who support the Deadpod for your kindness.

Thank you.  I hope you and yours have a wonderful Thanksgiving and hope you enjoy this selection of acoustic Grateful Dead.

  We head to Shakedown Street on this week's Deadpod with a fine version from Long Beach California on November 14, 1987.  A great start to this short first set, followed, somewhat unfortunately in my opinion, by 'Little Red Rooster;, but the boys more than make up for it with the rest of set including a nice 'Althea' and 'When I Paint My Masterpiece' and my personal highlight - Brent giving us a spirited 'Hey Pocky Way'  Jerry closes things with a smokin' hot 'Deal' We will save the second set for after our Thanksgiving special next week..    Grateful Dead Long Beach Arena Long Beach, CA 11/14/1987 - Saturday One      Shakedown Street [11:31]   Little Red Rooster [8:04]   Althea [6:31]   When I Paint My Masterpiece [4:10]   Hey Pocky Way [5:25]   Deal [8:10]   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod112125.mp3   Safe travels if you are heading out next week!

   We continue with the second set from the Uptown Theatre in Chicago on November 18, 1978.  This one starts with a fine Scarlet>Fire, perhaps a bit shorter than some, but with some nice Garcia intensity leading into Fire. Miracle follows leading into an excellent 'He's Gone' - there's an interesting jam here unlike most you'll hear in this song. The recording really brings this one home. Instead of going right into Drums, we get Bobby and Phil leading the band into a fine 'Other One'. Once they do go into Drums, they go into a unique Ollin Arageed space.. 'Wharf Rat' then 'Sugar Magnolia ' end the set, but surprise, they do a 'One More Saturday Night' encore...   Grateful Dead Uptown Theatre Chicago, IL 11/18/1978 - Saturday Two      Scarlet Begonias [11:35] > Fire On The Mountain [7:05] ; I Need A Miracle [7:52] > He's Gone [11:09] > The Other One [13:29] > Drums [6:34] > Space [2:34] > Wharf Rat [9:10] > Sugar Magnolia [8:44] Encore      One More Saturday Night [4:45]   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod111425.mp3   My thanks for your very kind support of the Deadpod

  This week's Deadpod takes us to Chicago - to the Uptown Theater home of many fine Grateful Dead shows. This one is from Saturday, November 18, 1978.  Our tape starts, unfortunately, with an abbreviated 'Jack Straw', but what we have shows us the energy the band came on stage with on this evening. A soulful 'Candyman' follows, then the 'Me & My Uncle>Big River' combo - marked by an exceptional Big River marked by some very nice solos by Garcia. He's just warming up however, as he follows with a great 'Sugaree' The rest of the set is equally well played, but I want to point out the beautiful 'From the Heart of Me' that Donna Jean Godchaux performs. She sings this one beautifully, and I wanted to bring us a reminder of just how great she was. I'm very saddened by her passing as I'm sure you are as well..   Grateful Dead Uptown Theatre Chicago, IL 11/18/1978 - Saturday One      Jack Straw [5:37]   Candyman [7:13]   Me And My Uncle [2:58] >  Big River [6:11]   Sugaree [13:53]   El Paso [4:10]   Stagger Lee [6:05]   It's All Over Now [6:44]   From The Heart Of Me [3:29]   The Music Never Stopped [7:37]  You can listen to this week's Deadpod here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod110725.mp3         "When I awoke the stars were out And shining, shining for you and me All I ever want to be Safe and warm In your arms All I have from the heart of me"
