Summary

We continue this week with the second set from August 5, 1979 at Oakland California.

This set starts with a fine 'Scarlet>Fire' - a warning there is a cut in the Scarlet (sadly there are several on this tape but I feel that the show still deserves your attention). The transition to 'Fire' is wonderful, as is Garcia's solo there. 'Estimated' and 'Eyes of the World' follow, then we are treated with Hamza el-Din in Drums, and a nice transition into 'Not Fade Away'. The notable 3 encores really stand out, sadly there is another cut at the end of 'Johnny B Goode' ..

I hope you enjoy it !

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to Deadpod for the week of August 22nd, 2025.
0:03.9	This is a professor. I'm so glad to pick us up this week.
0:07.6	This week we continue with the second set of the band's performance at the Oakland Auditorium on August 5th, 1979.
0:14.8	The second set starts out with a scarlet fire.
0:17.5	There is a cut in scarlet, but it goes into a great transition. Jerry really goes on fire,
0:22.5	and goes on in that transition to fire. He also has a great solo in that fire on the mountain
0:29.9	that comes after the scarlet. Estimated follows. It's a nice speedy version into eyes of the
0:35.7	world. Then we get drums in space and including an
0:40.8	appearance by Hamza al-Din, always interesting. And that goes into a not fade away and then a war
0:50.0	fret. Again, there's a cut there. Around and around closes the set, but they come back for three
0:55.2	encores, Bertha into Goodlovin, and then a Johnny be good. So while there's several cuts on
1:02.1	some of these songs, I still think the remainder is well worth hearing, and I hope you enjoy it. So
1:07.2	thanks for picking us up this week and for your support of the dead pod. I couldn't do it
1:10.9	without you. Greatly appreciate it. And hope to see you back here next week. This is a professor
