As we head into the New Year, here's a January show, a rarity for the band, from the intimate Uptown Theater in Chicago on January 30th, 1978.

While this first set doesn't have the jamming that you'll hear in set 2, it is tight and Jerry's voice is much better than it was earlier in the month. There is some funny back and forth between songs, and the Lazy Lightning is greatly improved by Phil's contributions.

Grateful Dead Uptown Theatre Chicago, IL 1/30/1978 - Monday One The Promised Land [4:15] Dire Wolf [3:30] Mexicali Blues [3:32] > Big River [5:45] Brown Eyed Women [5:28] Looks Like Rain [8:04] Peggy-O [7:01] It's All Over Now [7:53] Deal [5:37] Lazy Lightnin' [3:22] > Supplication [5:32]
