Summary

Hello Friends!

Hope this week's Deadpod provides a bit of a respite from the storms swirling around our heads... this week we get to hear the second set from the band's New Year Eve performance on December 31, 1982.

NYE is of course the one time of the year when everyone knew what was going to open the second set - and while you'll hear some decidedly 'un-grateful dead' like sound effects at the opening, Sugar Magnolia eventually comes through like ringing a bell, and the band, and Bobby, do an excellent job of celebrating the entrance of a new year. Jerry then goes into a fine 'Sugaree' in noticeably better voice :) 'Man Smart (Woman Smarter) comes next with a nice long guitar intro. Everyone offers some fine contributions here. This ends suddenly, but Jerry brings out 'Ship of Fools' and delivers it quite soulfully. After some searching, the band goes into 'Playin' then drifts into drums and sp;ace. Eventually they launch 'Not Fade Away' with a powerful Brent intro. This one had John Cipollina joining the band, although his contributions are a bit hard to pick out. Instead of turning into 'Goin' Down the Road Feelin' Bad' (which it seems Garcia is going into) he instead brings out 'Deal'. They finish the set with a great return to 'Sunshine Daydream' and after a nice jam at the end Bobby announces that they will return in a couple minutes - for the third set we'll hear next week.

0:19.0	This one comes to us from the second set from December 31st, 1982 at Oakland, California.
0:26.1	They start out as usual with a lot of New Year's Eve, Marymett.
0:30.2	There's a huge balloon drop and you'll hear some insane sound effects as the band goes into a great version of Sugar Magnolia.
0:38.0	After that, Jerry goes into a nice version of Sugarie. His voice sounds much better than it did in the first set, and I think he and Bobby play off each other quite well on this one.
0:48.0	They then go into a nice man-smart woman smarter with a nice long guitar intro. Very well done. A little bit different sounding than usual, but it does come to a screeching halt before Jerry begins a nice ship of fools. After the ship of fools, Bobby messes around a bit.
