Summary

A roaring Scarlet>Fire leads off this week's Deadpod from the second set of the band's performance at the Rainbow Theater in London England on March 20, 1981.

They keep up the momentum throughout, going into a nice Sailor>Saint, then slowing things down with a beautiful He's Gone.. the transition to Drums is worthy of note, as is the transition, led by Phil Lesh, into a rousing Truckin' that leads off the post-drums segment. Wharf Rat is heartfelt and emotional, but they lead us back into some serious rockin' with Around and Around and Johnny B. Goode, not to mention a nice U.S. Blues encore.
