Summary

This week's Deadpod features a show from the Fall tour of 1971.. this one was the 2nd night for Keith Godchaux in the keyboard seat.. and features a whole bunch of songs that were still finding their way in the repertoire.. in fact five songs in this first set are being played for the 2nd time.. the first time being the night before for Tennessee Jed, Jack Straw (with some out of tune guitars :), Mexicali Blues, Comes a Time and One More Saturday Night!

For the most part these sound great.. and Keith really sounds like he's been here for much longer than one night as he sounds great in this set. Pigpen was home sick, but you'll still hear some of that organ that Keith plays at times.

This was the last 'Frozen Logger' although it was so short here it hardly deserves mention..

My thanks for your kind support of the Deadpod

From day to day just letting it ride
You get so far away from how it feels inside
You can't let go 'cause you're afraid to fall
But the day may come when you can't feel at all"

0:00.0	Hello and welcome the Dead Pod for the week of October 23rd, 2020.
0:03.7	This is a professor, I'm so glad you could pick us up this week.
0:06.7	This week we're going to bring you a show that was originally an FM broadcast, although
0:11.0	I think this one here is a soundboard tape that we have, comes to us from the Auditorium
0:15.9	Theater in Chicago, Illinois, October 21st, 1971.
0:20.1	This was Keith Godchuck's second night sitting in with Grateful Dead.
0:24.0	And at the first set they do a number of songs that they had played the night before,
0:29.0	a number of those they had played for the very first time.
0:32.0	Tennessee, Jed, Jack Straw, Bex Kelly Blues, and
0:35.4	comes at time. And one more Saturday night. These were all played in the first set of
0:40.5	this show for the second time. They've been played the night before in Minneapolis.
0:45.1	This is quite a nice set though, however, and I think Keith really shines through.
0:48.8	Truckin starts it out. It's a little clunky but not bad. Loser. Beat it on down the line with 16 beats for some reason
0:55.1	Tennessee Jed is quite well played playing in the band this is one of the highlights of the
1:01.3	set it's not a monumental jam but it kind of hints at what this version would become in the following year.
1:09.0	Big Railroad Blues, which they played quite a lot after this. Jack Straw with the guitars are a bit out of tune,
1:14.8	but nevertheless, there it is.
1:16.5	Cumberland Blues Fellows.
1:18.6	Comes a time, which was played quite a lot in 71,
1:21.6	but of course not much afterwards.
1:23.4	Mexicali Blues.
1:24.7	Then the final frozen logger, cold rain and snow and this one's really good
