Summary
We usher in the New Year with a long, fantastic second set from the Dead's performance on 12/30/78 at the Pauley Pavilion in UCLA, Los Angeles, CA. The bands opens with a trifecta of rock and roll -
'I Need a Miracle' (check out Weir's shouting here) into 'Bertha' into 'Good Lovin'. This leads into a fantastic, long Scarlet > Fire (almost 18 minutes). You might think they'd head into Drums and Space but no, tonight we get both a 'Playin' in the Band' AND a 'Shakedown Street' pre-Drums. This Drums is no slouch.. and leads into Hamza el-Din joining the band for 'Ollin Arrageed'. Jerry rather flubs the intro to the first 'St. Stephen' since January 78, but still great to hear, as is the 'Not Fade Away'>Goin' Down the Road'>'Around and Around' which closes this excellent set. They return for the obligatory 'One More Saturday Night' encore capping off almost a 2 hour set.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome Dead Pod for the week of January 5th 2018. |
| 0:03.0 | This is a professor so glad you could pick us up this week. |
| 0:06.0 | This week we're going to follow up last week's first set of December 30th 1978 |
| 0:11.0 | with an even longer set to. This is quite a great production. I think you'll really |
| 0:16.3 | enjoy it. It starts out with a three song rocking opening. I need a miracle into Bertha. |
| 0:21.4 | Into Good Loving. Great three three-song intro sets the stage for a fabulous |
| 0:26.2 | Scarlet Fire. This one clocks in at almost 19 minutes. I think you really enjoy it. It's one of the better ones out of that they go into it |
| 0:34.7 | playing in the band it's quite nice it slowly goes into shakedown street so |
| 0:39.3 | what a what a pre-drum sets this is. Into drums. Coming out of fairly long drums you get the |
| 0:47.5 | introductions of Hamza-El-Din and the band goes into a quite long arrangement of Olin Aragid. |
| 0:55.0 | Into space, the space quite short after that. |
| 1:00.0 | Garcia then kind of flubs the intro to St Stephen, but it's a very nice version. |
| 1:04.7 | It's the first time they've played Stephen since January of 1978, so it had been out of circulation |
| 1:10.2 | for what at the time was a fairly long period. |
| 1:13.0 | Then they do a nice not fade away into going down the road feeling bad, into round and around. |
| 1:18.0 | Then they come back, let the audience catch its breath to come back with a one more Saturday night, because it was Saturday night of course. |
| 1:25.0 | So a great second set, |
| 1:28.0 | kind of an extension of the New Year's, |
| 1:30.0 | or a preview for them of New Year's Eve, |
| 1:32.0 | and for us maybe an extension of our New Year's Eve, |
| 1:35.0 | which I hope was safe and happy for everybody. |
| 1:37.6 | I hope the New Year started out well. |
