Summary
We're going to welcome in the month of February with the band's performance from February 1st, 1978 at the Uptown Theater in Chicago. I believe you'l enjoy this excellent recording of the start of a wonderful swing through the midwest in the winter of 1978. This first set starts with a smokin' 'Jack Straw', then moves through a longish 'Friend of the Devil'. 'Mama Tried' and 'Me & My Uncle' follow then a great 'Ramble on Rose'. Following 'Cassidy' the tape is missing the 'Sunrise' that followed, but we do have the spirited 'Sugaree' which closed the first set. I've decided to follow that with an excellent 'Candyman' which was recorded a few days following up in Milwaukee. Sadly not all of that gig, or of several of these performances during the first week of February '78, are available in soundboard format (although parts of several performances were 'picked' to be included in an excellent, now out-of-print Dick's Picks' 18).

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to Dead Pot for the week of February 3rd 2017. |
| 0:03.6 | This is a professor I'm so glad you could pick us up this week. |
| 0:06.7 | This week I decided to bring in the month of February by going back to how the |
| 0:10.1 | dead brought in the month of February back in 1978. This comes to us from a |
| 0:14.4 | performance they did at the Uptown Theater in Chicago, Illinois, February the 1st |
| 0:18.8 | 1978. This whole week they had about three or four shows that several of which were mined for Dick's |
| 0:26.6 | Pix 18 where they just picked bits or parts of sets especially especially from the third. |
| 0:33.2 | But I think you'll really enjoy this one. |
| 0:34.9 | This is the first of those shows, and they start out with a wicked jackst drawing, |
| 0:40.1 | a friend of the devil. |
| 0:41.2 | Nice momatribe follows. |
| 0:42.4 | Me and my uncle. Then a great Ramblon Rose, |
| 0:45.2 | Cassidy follows, and missing from the recording |
| 0:48.9 | that we have is a Donna's version of Sunrise, |
| 0:51.9 | but Jerry closes a set with a great |
| 0:54.1 | sugary. I think you'll really enjoy that one. This makes the first set a |
| 0:57.8 | little short so I decided to bring you the only available soundboard recording from a show they did a couple nights later in |
| 1:05.5 | Milwaukee and this is from the first set and this is a Matrix recording of Jerry |
| 1:09.8 | doing a wonderful version of Candyman so we'll close this week's Dead Pod with that. |
| 1:13.7 | We'll bring you the second set of the February 1st show next week. Hope you enjoy it. |
| 1:18.6 | Thanks for much for picking us up this week and for your support of the Dead Pod which makes it possible |
| 1:23.6 | for us to bring you this music every week I really appreciate it. |
