Summary

We're stepping it up this week.. yes! believe it or not, this week's Deadpod is probably even hotter than last week's show from 1973! This one comes from May 25, 1974 at Santa Barbra California. A beautiful afternoon show that must have seemed to go on forever...

The first set starts with a U.S. Blues.. a great way to start a show and start this 13 song first set! The entire set is smoking hot, and it has a pedigree - as it comes from Dick Latvala's cassette, so the sound is great.

Some of the highlights include a wonderful 'Jack Straw', a stand alone 'Scarlet', Weir 'takes a bottle, cracks him in the jaw' on 'Me & My Uncle', but the true highlight of the set and probably the show is the mind-bending 'China Cat>I Know Your Rider' , in particular the great jamming in the transition - not to be missed. Billy K is on it..

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the dead pod for the 19th day of May 2023. This is a professor. I'm so glad
0:05.1	you could pick us up this week. I'm going to bring you another rock and classic grateful dead show.
0:09.6	This one from 1974 from May 25th 1974 from the University, California, Santa Barbara. It was an
0:16.2	afternoon show. It was hot, although they went. It's on the ocean, so it's pretty pleasant. I imagine
0:21.6	however the band is smoking through this one and it's another long show. It reminds me of those
0:26.5	73 shows like the one we played last week and I think you're going to dig it. I hope so.
0:32.2	Starts out with a great U.S. Blues. What a way to start a show. Next Cali follows. A
0:36.6	smoking deal. Then a great jacks draw. Scarlett Begonia. Stand alone. Follows that. And then a beaded
0:42.6	on down the line. Brownine. Women. Me and my uncle. A great sugary. El Paso. And then the highlight,
0:48.4	if not of the show of almost any time they played it. This China Ryer is spectacular. You're going to
0:55.9	love this one, especially the jam between the two. That's wonderful. Around and around close is the
1:00.8	first set and we will hear set two next week. Honestly this first set matches it. It's really nice.
1:07.1	And I think it's tight. The band's tight and they're having fun and I'm sure the fans are too.
1:12.2	So I hope you are when you listen to it. So thanks for picking me up this week and I hope that
1:17.4	you have a great week and we'll see you back here next time. This is a professor you're listening to
1:21.3	the dead pod.
1:51.3	Sweet Shoes. I'm a God Sam. How do you do? Give me five. I'm still alive. Ain't no luck. I learned to
2:11.3	do.
2:23.7	Check my pulse. It don't change. Stay seventy two. Come shine or rain.
2:37.7	Pop the bag. Rock the boats. Skim the goats.
2:54.1	With that sand. Waving water.
3:06.9	Some a tractor. Come and go.
