Summary
A somewhat uneven second set from April 8th 1985 is featured on this week's Deadpod. The set starts out with a cover of the Beatles' 'Revolution' which to my mind is one of those songs they never should have tried to cover. Luckily things pick up after that, they follow with a 'Hell In a Bucket' and 'Touch of Gray' are played quite energetically (they were working on those In the Dark album songs even though the album wouldn't be released until 1987). I quite enjoy the 'Estimated Prophet' that follows, Jerry has some nice licks and Bob has the spirit. Of course, we've heard 'Eyes of the World' follow out of this many times, still its nicely played with an unusual jam out of Estimaed. Although Jerry's voice does seem a little more tired now, and the pace is a bit rushed, I always enjoy it.
After an interesting Drums and Space, it takes Jerry and Bob a bit to settle on that 'Goin' Down the Road Feelin' Bad', but that just makes for an interesting intro. 'Stella Blue' follows, and Jerry gives it a fine treatment. They follow with 'Around and Around' which then goes into a fine high-energy 'Lovelight'. They return for a 'Brokedown Palace' encore.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, I'm welcome the Deadpad for the week of April 21st, 2017. |
| 0:03.8 | This is a professor, so glad you could pick us up this week. |
| 0:06.8 | I was a bit conflicted as to whether to play the second set from this show that took place |
| 0:11.8 | back on April 8th, 1985 at the spectrum in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, |
| 0:16.0 | but the completest in me decided, yes, I wanted to play it, and it does have some nice moments. |
| 0:21.1 | So that's what we're going to be featuring this week. It starts out with a rather clunky, one of my least favorite covers that the band ever did, which is Revolution. It's a little clunky, better than some versions they did but not fabulous. |
| 0:34.0 | Hell in the bucket follows it's decent into a touch of gray that's |
| 0:38.0 | oh it's okay. Estimated profit follows and it's probably the first good |
| 0:42.0 | really good song in this |
| 0:43.4 | set that I really enjoy Jerry does some great licks on this into eyes of the world by this |
| 0:48.6 | point Jerry's voice gets a little bit tired so it's not quite as good as you might have wish but the |
| 0:54.3 | playing is quite good on it they go into drums in space they come back out of space |
| 0:58.1 | with a a jam that kind of Jerry and Bobby aren't quite sure which way it's going to go it |
| 1:04.3 | ends up going into going down the road feeling bad and it's sounds pretty good into a |
| 1:09.3 | interesting Stella Blue. Jerry's voice again a little rough here but he does a real |
| 1:13.1 | passable version on this, always a favorite. Into a round and around, into what |
| 1:17.7 | might be the highlight of the second set, which is a very good turn on your |
| 1:20.8 | love light. Really enjoy it. They come back out with a broke down palace |
| 1:24.2 | encore to close the show. The Philadelphia fans, always appreciative and I'm sure they had a great time. |
| 1:30.2 | I hope you enjoy it too and thanks so much for picking us up this week and for your support of the dead pod I really couldn't do this show without it and I very much appreciate those of you who have been able to support us. |
| 1:41.0 | So take care. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. We'll see you back here next week. This is a professor. |
| 1:45.8 | You're listening to the Dead Pod. Oh, Oh, yeah. And then. |
