This week I'm doing something I don't usually do - and that is rather

than play this complete show over two weeks I decided to play you the

real heart of this show this week - (not saying I can't be persuaded to

play the rest of this... :) partly because its Thanksgiving and I have

something in mind for next week :)Be that as it may - this piece of

music, from the second set of 11/17/73 is simply astounding. It

represents a true pinacle of the outstanding musicianship that the band

achieved during this landmark year. I challange any fan of the band to

not be moved by this remarkable piece of music - clearly when they play

like this I am firmly convinced that their music is for the ages...Grateful Dead11/17/73Pauley Pavillion, U.C.L.A.Los Angeles, CAFrom Set 2:Playing In The Band >Uncle John's Band >Morning Dew >Uncle John's Band >Playing In The BandStella BlueEl PasoEyes Of The World >Sugar MagnoliaYou can listen to this week's Deadpod here:http://media.libsyn.com/media/deadshow/deadpod112009.mp3Our
