This week's Deadpod is big in every way - a wonderful second set that

features a fabulous Eyes of the World->Estimated

Prophet->Franklin's Tower that lasts nearly an hour and is among the

best versions ever of these songs. This comes to us from the great fall

of 79 tour, this one is from November 5th, 1979 from the Spectrum in

Philadelphia. The entire set is a real treat, starting with a rare

second set opening Althea and closing with a truly rocking

Sailor-Saint-Sugar Magnolia.. Grateful Dead The Spectrum Philadelphia, PA 11/5/79 - MondayAlthea

only is there alot of great music this week, but I took to heart a

suggestion that I try to improve the compression rate on the mp3. Being

just another picky deadhead myself, I'm very concerned to have the

music sound as good as possible - please let me know if you notice the

difference on this week's Deadpod. This does increase the file size,

and there are tradeoffs, but it may well be worth the cost.The

other big news this week is that starting next week, KOPN, 89.5 FM,

Community radio begins its Fall pledge drive. I'm trying to get a head

start on this by asking you for your support for the Deadpod. I do hope

you'll consider contributing to the Deadpod and ensuring our

continuance. I wanted to let you know this was starting this week

because I have an opportunity to send you a very special thank you for

supporting the Deadpod - a copy of the brand new release "Rocking the

Cradle - Egypt 78" CD/DVD combination set that releases on September

30th! This two cd/dvd set chronicles the historic shows in Egypt

in 1978 - including 95 minutes of concert footage - and I'm so happy to

be able to offer this to my listeners who contribute at a $60 level or

above. I wanted to get a headstart on this as I'm going to be getting

some surgery done later in October and would like to take care of this

before all that goes down.. so at any rate, if you'd like to get a copy

of this wonderful set, just contribute to the Deadpod during this big

membership drive. You can click the 'Make a Donation' button on the

left hand side of the page here: http://deadshow.blogspot.comThank YOU! Whew!

I hope the Deadpod and all the news isn't TOO big! but then again, I

always loved the BIG sound of seeing the Dead and I think you'll enjoy

this week's show.. Be well and thanks for picking us up!
