Summary

This week's Deadpod, the second set from Barcelona Spain on October 19th, 1981, bursts out of the gate with a smoking Scarlet Begonias into Fire on the Mountain. Garcia clearly wants this one to stand out, and his leads throughout are choice. Garcia is clearly inspired throughout.. even on the Sailor ->Saint, Garcia shines on one of the best versions ever... there's a nice little space that follows, then after a short drums an excellent, if too short, full blown Spanish Jam leads into a very fine Other One. The Stella Blue that flows out from that is excellent as is the Sugar Magnolia with full blowin Weir driving this one.. A fine show from start to finish, I hope you enjoy this one.

0:00.0	Hello, welcome the Dead Pod for the week of October 17, 2014.
0:03.8	This is a professor.
0:04.8	I'm so glad to pick us up this week.
0:07.1	This week we bring you the conclusion from the Grateful Dead's performance in Barcelona,
0:11.0	Spain, October 19, 1981, the close of that rather short but
0:16.2	sweet European tour of the fall of 81.
0:20.0	This second set is quite good and it's a real pleasure to bring it to you this week.
0:23.6	It starts out with a very incendiary Scarlet Fire.
0:26.8	This is maybe not the longest version ever, but very well played.
0:30.1	I think you really like where the band takes this one.
0:35.0	Scarlet in particular is really good.
0:37.4	Sailor Saint follows, very nice versions.
0:40.1	I always like that pairing, especially in the early days days and the jam out of it into drums is quite good so listen to that at the end of that saint because they do a nice jam Jerry Jerry shrieks and his guitar really goes places during that jam.
0:56.9	Drums is good, space is better, they go into a short but sweet Spanish jam,
1:01.9	and then go into a nice version of the other one and it's
1:05.9	followed by a some real soulful singing by Garcia on Stella Blue, a very fine
1:10.8	version of that. They close a set with one of the better versions of
1:14.7	sugar magnolia that you'll hear during this time period. Weir really pumps it up.
1:19.2	The band comes back for a short, don't ease me and encore. I'm sure the fans left happy. I know I would have been
1:24.8	glad to have been there. Hope you enjoy this one. So glad you could pick us up this week and I want to thank those of you who were able to
1:30.6	support the Dead Pod. I very much appreciate your support.
1:34.8	Thanks again, I really appreciate it.
