Summary

One of my favorite tours, the Spring tour of 1980 will give us one more fine show on this week's Deadpod. From the old Boston Garden on May 12, 1980 the boys shook the rafters on this Monday night with a rocking first set.

They come out blazing with a great 'Jack Straw>Alabama Getaway>El Paso' opening trifecta. While this is an unusual combo, Jerry and Brent in particular shine on these opening tunes. A nice 'Althea' follows, then Bobby takes the lead on 'Lazy Lightning> Supplication'. We get a short but sweet Brent number in 'Far From Me' before Bobby takes us back down to Minglewood. The closing China>Rider is excellent, highlighted for me, by Jerry's emotion when he is on that northbound train.

0:03.5	This is a professor, I'm so glad you could pick us up this week.
0:06.3	This week I decided to bring you a show from the, uh,

0:19.0	On May the 12th, 1980, it was a Monday night.
0:22.1	Nice first set, I think. It starts out with a Smoke Inject,

0:27.9	Brent's not lower over this one, so it's still.

0:36.5	little bit with a fine althea. We get a lazy lightning in this
0:39.5	supplication from Bobby. Brent does far from me.
0:42.8	Then we get a new mingle with blues and they close the set with a great China
0:46.2	rider. Um, not as long as some in the transition jam may not be
0:50.4	quite as long as others, but listen to Jerry on that uh,
0:53.9	China or on that rider. It's great.
0:56.8	That northbound train line is fabulous. So lots of, uh,
