Summary
Hard to believe but it almost LENT already! And that of course means its Mardi Gras time! This next show up on our plate is from Mardi Gras 1986 - a request from a great friend of the Deadpod - from February 11th, 1986. This is one of those great Oakland Mardi Gras runs where the Neville Brothers opened for the boys (and we'll hear them on the second set next week). This week's first set, although ragged at times, and with Jerry's voice not exactly perfect, is still marked by alot of enthusiasm and good vibes. My favorites from this first set include a raging Minglewood, and a nice set closing Bird Song->Music Never Stopped->Might As Well..
next week in honor of Fat Tuesday a great Iko :)

| 0:04.0 | This is a professor. I'm so glad you could pick us up this week. |
| 0:07.0 | With Fat Tuesday rolling around next Tuesday, I thought it only appropriate that we pick out a show that was one of the band's |
| 0:17.0 | Marty Gros shows. This is a request from one of our great friends of the Dead Pod, |
| 0:22.0 | a performance that the Dead did back on February 11th, 1986 at the Henry Kaiser Convention Center in Oakland, California. |
| 0:29.0 | Now, 86 is perhaps not my favorite ear for Grateful Dead Music. |
| 0:33.8 | Jerry's voice is a little ragged at times and the band's a little bit ragged in this |

| 0:44.0 | The show will hear the first set of this week. |
| 0:47.0 | It was a show in which the Nevil brothers opened for the dead and they will sit in on set two, a good portion of set two. |
| 0:54.0 | But here on the first set, they open up with China Cap Sunflower and the I Know You Rider. |

| 1:14.8 | into the music never stopped, into, might as well as a closer. |
| 1:18.9 | And Jerry's voice a little bit ragged by the end of the first set, |
| 1:21.5 | but still quite a fun show and you can tell the bands |
