Summary

This week we have the second set from the band's performance at Alpine Valley on July 7, 1984.

This is a strong set throughout, with the band really coming together I think to deliver some great versions of these songs.

'Samson and Delilah' opens with the drummers providing the familiar beat.. Jerry follows with 'Cold Rain and Snow' - always appropriate for a July show. They then seg into 'Playin' In the Band', while not overly long, this version does feature some interesting Brent effects and seqs interestingly into 'China Doll'. Jerry hits this one just right and then they move into a very good Drums segment. They come out of drums surprisingly into 'Terrapin Station' as you think you hear some 'Other One' notes being played.. but the Terrapin is told well and goes into Bobby doing 'Throwing Stones' with a few different lyrics. 'Not Fade Away' follows, but is short, as Phil insists they move into 'Lovelight'! the first since NYE 82.. Bobby does a fine version here, and they close with a return to 'Not Fade Away'. A 'Brokedown Palace' encore prepares the faithful for that long trek up the hill...

0:00.0	Hello and welcome the Dead Pod for July the 12th, 2024.
0:03.0	This is a professor, so glad you can pick us up this week.
0:05.6	This week we're going to bring the second set of the band's performance
0:07.8	at the Alpine Valley Music Theatre in East Troy, Wisconsin
0:11.6	on July 7th, 1984. Great second set starts out with a fine
0:17.0	Sampson and Delilah and it goes right into a great cold rain and snow. Brent
0:21.4	really shines on this one, as does Jerry.
0:24.4	Nice one.
0:25.2	Goes into playing in the band.
0:27.4	Then some nice work from both Jerry, Bob, and Brent here, and it goes into a nice China doll, slows things down a little bit, quite soulful, into a very short playing in the band, Jam.
0:41.0	Drums and Spacefowls, the drums is one of the better versions I've heard. I think you'll enjoy it. They come out,
0:46.6	come somewhat surprisingly into Terrapin Station. Terrapin Station winds down. Jerry does a good job telling this story and they go into
0:54.4	throwing stones. Then Bobby is on on that one, goes in to not fade away. It's
0:59.9	fairly short, but they pull out a lovelight. Unusual, haven't pulled out love light in a while, that goes
1:06.1	into a short not fade away again and they come back with a broke down palace encore to send everybody
1:12.3	home happily up that big hill at Alpine Valley.
1:15.4	So hope you enjoy this one.
1:16.8	Hope you had a great fourth.

1:26.0	I couldn't do it without you.
1:27.6	This is a professor you're listening to the Dead Pod. I'm going to Oh, Oh, Lala was a woman, she was a fine affair.
