Summary
As we roll into February this week's Deadpod comes from the second night of the Mardi Gras run of 1990. I think the boys are in good spirits here and we have some nice treats here in set one, with more to follow in next week's second set.
Bobby opens with 'Hell In A Bucket' and you can tell how much he enjoys delivering it. Following a nice 'Peggy-O' we get another spirited Bobby number with a really good 'Walkin' Blues'. 'Ramble On Rose' always picks things up, then we get some encouragement for Phil to sing, and he obliges with a great 'Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues'.
The somewhat short set concludes with 'Music Never Stopped' into 'Don't Ease Me In'.

| 0:05.4 | you could pick us up this week. This week, I decided to switch up things a little bit and |
| 0:10.5 | jump ahead to the spring tour of 1990. In particular, this is the second night of a |
| 0:17.3 | Mardi Gras run that took place out in Oakland on February 26, 1990. It was a Monday night. |

| 0:28.3 | second set next week. Starts out with Bobby doing quite a spirited version of Hell in a Bucket. |
| 0:35.0 | A nice Peggy O follows. Then a, for my mind, a pretty darn good |
| 0:39.3 | walk-in blues. Not usually my favorite song, but I enjoy this one quite a bit. Jerry does a great |
| 0:44.1 | ramble on Rose to follow, and then we get some great banter. Jerry breaks his usual vow of not |
| 0:50.9 | speaking to the crowd and encourages people to, encourages people to ask Phil to sing, |
| 0:56.7 | and Phil does step up and do just like Tom Thumbs Blues, |
| 1:01.4 | one of my favorites of his vocal repertoire. |
