Hello and welcome the Dead Pod for the week of August 10th 2012. This is a professor. I'm so glad you could pick this up this week.

This week's show comes as a result of a request to one of our wonderful listeners.

New Minglewood Blues, which a version which people who even hate the song,

Promised Land, the set ends with Arousing Deal. We're going to play two songs from the beginning of

set two tonight just to balance things out a little bit in terms of time,
