Summary
This week's Deadpod is a bit unusual, as I decided to bring you an audience recording of a show that took place 33 years ago on the banks of the Mississippi River... at the Mississippi River Festival across the river from St. Louis in Edwardsville, Illinois. While I wasn't at this show, I've heard many reports from friends over the years that this was a complete *blast*, probably due, at least partially, to the fact that there was supposedly an absolute deluge of a storm going on especially in the second set.. As I listened to this first set I thought it was obvious that the band was having a good time... I also thought that the recording while not pristine, was worth listening to so I decided to feature it this week... I'll play set 2 next week unless enough of you object to the audience source (unfortunately that's all that is available of this one.. )

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome the Dead Pod for the week of August 16th 2013. This is a professor. I'm so glad you could pick us up this week. |
| 0:06.7 | This week I decided to do something a little bit different and that is I'm going to feature a show that's only recorded in audience by an audience format. |
| 0:15.0 | I usually shy away from those due to the sound quality. |
| 0:19.0 | There are some great, of course, lots of notably great audience tapes. |
| 0:23.0 | The one I'm going to play for you tonight, I think it's pretty darn good. |
| 0:25.0 | And it comes from a show that I really have had an itch to play for a long time. |
| 0:29.0 | I wasn't at this show, but some friends of mine were, and they said it was a blast especially in the second set when the weather really let loose. |
| 0:37.0 | This comes to us from the Mississippi River Festival in Edwardsville, Illinois back on August 16th, 1980. Right across from St. Louis, |
| 0:46.0 | we'll hear the first set this week and the second set next week. The second set was a real |
| 0:51.0 | tremendous downpour and storms, thunder and lightning going on and all that. |
| 0:57.0 | But the first set, I don't think the rain really let loose yet, but the band is really amped up. It starts out with Alabama |
| 1:03.9 | getaway into the promised land. They love each other. Me and my uncle into |
| 1:07.5 | Al Passo, a great althea into looks like rain. Tennessee Jed, easy to love you, new Minglewood Blues and a set closes with |
| 1:15.0 | deal. Jerry's had fine form throughout as the rest of the band is as well. They're really |
| 1:19.7 | amped up, they play in really well and I think you'll enjoy this despite the fact that it's an |
| 1:23.2 | audience tape I think the sound quality is worthwhile and certainly worth |
| 1:26.7 | revisiting so if you hadn't heard of this show I heard it was a great deal of fun |
| 1:31.8 | despite or perhaps because of the mud that happened |
| 1:34.8 | after the torrential downpours and set two. We'll hear those next we'll hear that |
| 1:39.0 | next week. So glad you could pick us up and thanks so much for those of you who were able to support the dead pod. |
| 1:44.8 | It's your support that keeps us on the air and I very much appreciate it. |
| 1:48.0 | I hope you're all doing really well. |
