Summary

This week's Deadpod features the second set from January 18, 1979 at Providence Rhode Island.

This is a rather unique second set as there is no drums/space segment here, unique since the band started introducing them as a matter of course back in the spring of 1978. It would be the last show without one for a long time. It's a solid show, in my opinion, the highlight being a raucous 'Trucking' that even includes Phil singing, and a solid 'Other One'.

Hope you enjoy it..

0:00.0	Hello, and welcome to Deadpod for the week of January 17th, 2005.
0:05.2	This is a professor.
0:06.0	I'm so glad you could pick us up this week.
0:08.1	This week we're going to hear the second set from Vance Performance,
0:11.3	Providence Civic Center in Providence, Rhode Island, on January 18th,
0:15.3	1979.
0:16.5	It was a Thursday night.
0:18.4	Interesting set, too, starts out with I I Need a Miracle into Bertha,
0:21.6	into Good Lovin, and into From the Heart of Me, down a tune, of course. Then we get a nice
0:27.0	ship of fools. I appreciate the he's gone that comes next. It's a little slow, but I think
0:32.3	it's sweet that way. I kind of enjoy it. Then the highlight of this set is a raucous truck and fill even
0:38.9	sings on this one, into a great other one, into war fret, into a round and round to close the set.
0:45.1	And as you notice, no drums or space in the second set. This is the last time they have a second set
0:50.0	without drums or space for a long, long time, maybe ever.
0:55.8	The encore, a U.S. Blues.
1:01.1	So a little shorter than usual second set, but still, I think it's quite enjoyable.
1:02.5	I hope you enjoyed it as well.
1:06.4	Thanks for picking us up this week and for your support of the Deadpot.
1:07.6	I couldn't do it without you.
1:09.0	So appreciate that.
1:12.0	I hope you're doing well and getting through January.
1:18.3	So my thoughts are with the folks out in California, LA in particular. Hope you're okay.
