This week's Deadpod features the fine recording of the second set of the band's performance on September 20, 1974 in Paris France. 

This one is pretty sweet all the way through, starting with 'China Cat>I Know You Rider'. The 'Big River' that follows is nicely up tempo. Another highlight for me is the 'Brokedown Palace' which is placed right in the center of the set and features some great closing vocals. 'Truckin' is the most exploratory moment of the set, with Billy alternating with Phil and Jerry, to get out to some deep space, before returning back to Earth as they enter in a somewhat shorter 'Eyes of the World'.

Straight ahead rocking Dead closes the set which I hope you'll find as enjoyable as I did.
