Summary

This week's Deadpod features a long second set on the occasion of Brent Mydland's first gig with the band, on April 22, 1979 in San Jose California.

The band opens with the trifecta 'I Need a Miracle' into 'Bertha' into 'Good Lovin', while it starts out a bit rough it picks up alot of energy by the end and they then go into a wonderful version of 'Scarlet Begonias' into 'Fire on the Mountain'. The transition jam into Fire is especially interesting, as is Jerry's jamming throughout that tune. 'Estimated Prophet' continues in the winning vein with some great bass contributed by Phil during the long and excellent opening jam. Brent contributes some interesting electric piano during the closing jam here matched by some very interesting Garcia lines. As this jam closes we hear a new sound from Mickey, as he goes into the fascinating 'Drums' segment with his new toy, 'The Beast', which was brought out for the first time at this show after having been constructed for the 'Apocalypse Now' movie soundtrack. There's not really a Space that follows this Drums segment but instead the band goes into 'The Other One' which is here marred by a cut in the tape. Jerry brings out August West next before the boys close with a rockin' 'Around and Around' They return for a double encore on this Sunday, with a good 'US Blues' followed by a trip to 'Shakedown Street' to close the afternoon..

0:13.4	1979, a Sunday show, so you know you didn't want to miss this one. So we're gonna hear the second set again
0:19.2	and it starts out with a nice, I need a miracle, into Bertha, into good loving.
0:24.4	Not the smoothest transition, but I think it's quite good by the time they hit good loving, they're really on fire.
0:29.7	Scarlet fire comes next and it's really well done. Of course this is Brent's first
0:35.3	gig with the band and you hear him, especially the transition between Scarlet and Fire is quite well done.
0:41.2	Jerry's, Jerry does some excellent solos here and Fire is quite nicely done. It goes into, it doesn't go in,
0:47.1	but the estimated profit follows. Again, well played, into he's gone, where things slow down just a little bit.
0:53.6	You hear Mickey bringing out the beast for the first time, a little whistle into his, into it, drums,

1:16.0	That goes into a nice, other one, there is a cut in there unfortunately.
1:19.7	Into Warfront, pretty much Jerry there and it's nicely done into us rocking around and around to close the
1:24.7	set, but they come back with a double encore, US Blues and a really nicely done shick down street.
1:30.1	So long show, hope you enjoy it. Thanks so much for picking us up and for your support of the
1:35.1	dead pod. I hope you're doing well and turning the corner into May. Let's hope that warm weather follows.

2:56.2	Just like you, you know me okay.
