<p>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. </p> <p>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'.</p> <p>The first two songs in this set are from an audience source, the rest come from a soundboard.</p> <p> </p> <p>Grateful Dead<br /> Hartford Civic Center<br /> Hartford, CT 4/17/1982 - Saturday<br /> <br /> One <br /> <br /> New Minglewood Blues [7:46] ><br /> Sugaree [12:10] ><br /> El Paso [5:19]<br /> Jack-A-Roe [4:48]<br /> Little Red Rooster [8:51]<br /> Tennessee Jed [8:44]<br /> It's All Over Now [8:18]<br /> Bird Song [9:27] ><br /> Man Smart (Woman Smarter) [5:44] </p> <p>You can listen to this week's Deadpod here: </p> <p><a href="https://www.blogger.com/" data-original-attrs= "{"data-original-href":"http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod042525.mp3 "}"> http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod042525.mp3 </a></p> <p> </p> <p>My thanks for your support. </p>

<p> What a classic set list we have on this week's Deadpod. While this show took place back in 1991, none of the songs debuted earlier than 1972. Better yet, they are all played with joy and authority reminiscent of earlier periods in the band's history. </p> <p>The tight opening China>Rider portends a great second set, and we are not disappointed for following this we have a fine 'Looks Like Rain' highlighted by some Healy echo on Bobby's vocals, then Garcia leads the ensemble into a long and dreamy 'Dark Star. The Star goes seamlessly into an interesting drums and space but then returns before leading into a continuation of 'Playin' In the Band' from the previous evening. Jerry then brings out 'Black Peter' in the ballad spot and delivers a soulful rendition. The set closing 'Lovelight' brings the crowd one last chance to shake their bones. Jerry returns for a great encore choice: 'It's All Over Now, Baby Blue'. </p> <p> </p> <p>Grateful Dead<br /> 1991-04-01<br /> Greensboro Coliseum - Greensboro, NC<br /> <br /> Two <br /> <br /> China Cat Sunflower ><br /> I Know You Rider<br /> Looks Like Rain<br /> Dark Star [22:37] ><br /> Drums [8:20] ><br /> Space [9:46] ><br /> Dark Star [1:16] ><br /> Playing In The Band [3:28] ><br /> Black Peter<br /> Turn On Your Love Light<br /> <br /> Encore <br /> It's All Over Now, Baby Blue </p> <p>You can listen to this week's Deadpod here: </p> <p><a href="https://www.blogger.com/" data-original-attrs= "{"data-original-href":"http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod041125.mp3 "}"> http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod041125.mp3 </a></p> <p>"You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last<br /> But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast"</p>

<p>An outstanding performance awaits on this week's Deadpod as we usher in the month of April with a memorable set from April Fools' Day, 1991 at Greensboro, North Carolina.</p> <p>The band roars into a fantastic version of 'Jack Straw' and I for one, love the presence of Hornsby here and throughout the set. They dovetail into a nice version of 'Peggy-O' and Jerry is in fine form here. Bobby takes over for a rockin' version of 'It's All Over Now'; again Hornsby's contributions on the keyboard adds great effect. Jerry follows with a soulful 'Candyman' and Phil brings out 'Just LIke Tom Thumb's Blues' for the first time since Brent passed. They mesh wonderfully to bring us a fine version of 'Picasso Moon', then close the set with a magnificent 'Bird Song'</p> <p> </p> <p>Grateful Dead<br /> 1991-04-01<br /> Greensboro Coliseum - Greensboro, NC<br /> <br /> Set 1:<br /> <br /> Jack Straw ><br /> Peggy-O<br /> It's All Over Now<br /> Candyman<br /> Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues<br /> Picasso Moon<br /> Bird Song </p> <p>You can listen to this week's Deadpod here: </p> <p><a href="https://www.blogger.com/" data-original-attrs= "{"data-original-href":"http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod040425.mp3 "}"> http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod040425.mp3 </a></p> <p>my thanks for your generous support of the Deadpod! </p>
