Summary

March will come in like a lion for us with the second set from the band's performance at the Great Western Forum in Los Angeles CA from February 11th, 1989. We are treated right off to a superb China>Rider, with a very nice jam into Rider. I love hearing Brett here.. what better song to bring in March than 'I Know You Rider'? and Jerry sells that 'northbound train' line :) . 'Man Smart, Woman Smarter' follows - that bouncy tune always got everyone dancing!

'Standing on the Moon' follows, certainly not in the slot we might expect it, but this is only its 3rd performance, but one of the best.. also probably the main reason I wanted to play this set.. a nice, stretched out 'Estimated Prophet' follows.. they then travel to Space, but Brent brings out 'I Will Take You Home' first, which always pulls at my heartstrings.. a very interesting drums follows, with Bill and Mickey being joined by Airto Moreira, Diana Moreira, and Flora Purim for some very spacey African sounding vocal stylings. The guests leave for Space, but Airto returns for 'Eyes of the World'. The post-drums is quite long by later-day standards, as Eyes finds a unique closing jam to lead into 'I Need A Miracle' then a soulful 'Black Peter' goes into a rousing 'Lovelight' to end the set.

The crowd is treated to Phil bringing out the 'Box of Rain' for the encore to end a truly classic set.

0:03.7	This is a professor so glad to pick us up this week.

0:09.9	at the Great Western Forum.
0:11.6	Inglewood California,, February 11, 1989. It was a Saturday night, although
0:16.8	they did not play that. This second step starts out with a real nice China rider, the jam
0:22.2	between China and rider, I think is particularly
0:24.5	nice.
0:25.5	A lot of Brent throughout this and I really enjoy his color on this.
0:29.7	Man, Smart Women, Smarter Follows, always a good dance tune. Then, the next song, which is really, I think they
0:37.6	hadn't found a spot for it, is the third time they played standing on the moon and this is a really beautiful version of
0:43.8	song I have a saw spot for it kind of seems like it odd place to put it but it
0:49.3	really isn't right nice following that estimated profit a nice long jammed out version into all
0:56.0	spacey jam then you think they're going into space but Brent comes out with I
1:00.4	will take you home that That goes into drums. This drums contain some
1:05.1	interesting African rhythms from Aerto and Diana Moreira and Flora Perrin and I apologize for messing up Airto's last name.
1:16.2	Then Space Eyes of the World Fowls Airto's back on that as well.
1:21.2	Goes into I Need a miracle, rocking as always. Black Peter
1:25.3	Fowl is quite nice. Then it goes into turn on your love light. Phil comes out for a
1:31.6	box rain on course. So I think the fans got their money's worth that night and hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
1:38.0	Thanks so much for your support of the Dead Pot. I really appreciate it. Hope March winds will blow all our troubles away.
1:45.8	See you next week. This is a professor. You're listening to the dead pod. I'm shot. I'm shot. Oh, yeah. Oh, Look for a while at sunflower prack
