I must say that my listeners are simply the best ! I received an simply

perfect request this week for the show we're going to start listening

to this week as I was casting about in my mind trying to decide what to

play... and what a show it is. This show not only shows the band in a

period of transition from their slower tempo early '77 style of playing

to the more uptempo arrangements of 1978 but its simply one of the best

shows of the entire year. The first set which we'll listen to this

week, not only blasts out of the gates with a fabulous Bertha->Good

Lovin' , but keeps up a most memorable and high energy performance on

every tune. Not to be missed, the set closing Let It Grow is truly

outstanding, and really shows the unique ability of the band to fire

off in all directions yet to find the 'one' and bring us all back into

harmony and love.. whew.. a great set and the second set from next week

is even better.....Grateful DeadCotterell Gym, Reid Athletic Center, Colgate UniversityHamilton, NY11-4-77Set I:Bertha -> [7:52]Good Lovin' [6:32]Brown-Eyed Women [6:07]Cassidy [5:19]It Must Have Been the Roses [7:31]Sunrise [4:34]New Minglewood Blues [5:51]Dupree's Diamond Blues [6:25]Let It Grow [14:11]You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:http://media.libsyn.com/media/deadshow/deadpod110609.mp3thanks for listening - and enjoy the show!
