Summary
Happy Autumnal Equinox!
While it still feels like summer here, we have a wonderful show from 1982 to celebrate the arrival of Autumn. This comes to us from September 21st, 1982 at Madison Square Garden, N.Y., N.Y. This first set has been called the best of the year and while I'm not quite certain I'm willing to crown it that I will say I found it very enjoyable and hope you do as well. This is one of those shows where they delighted the crowd with an unusual opening.. a wonderful Playin' in the Band. Right away you are swept up with Garcia's fluid playing.. then to add to our delight a delicious Crazy Fingers follows. The rest of the set follows a more traditional pattern but is highlighted by a early West LA Fadeaway, a great Looks Like Rain (Garcia's second lead here is sweet) and a great China-Rider closer.. I also admit a fondness for Brent's playing on this set which is easily heard.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to Dead Pot for the week of September 22nd 2017. This is a professor. So glad you could pick us up this week. |
| 0:07.0 | I think we got a real fine show for you this week. This comes from a great tour of the fall of 1982. |
| 0:13.6 | And of that tour, some of the most memorable shows |
| 0:15.9 | as usual were played at the garden. |
| 0:17.4 | Madison Square Garden, New York City, New York. |
| 0:19.7 | September 21st, 1982, we'll hear a stunning first set. I think it's one of the best first sets of |
| 0:25.3 | 1982. This week we'll play the second set next week. It starts out unbelievably with |
| 0:31.0 | playing in the band. The crowd goes wild. |
| 0:34.0 | There's this odd introduction by John Sheer, |
| 0:36.0 | and then they do playing in the band. |
| 0:38.0 | A great choice to start things out, |
| 0:41.0 | certainly didn't happen very often. |
| 0:42.0 | Into an even more surprising choice |
| 0:45.1 | and a wonderful rendition crazy fingers. |
| 0:48.1 | Certainly the highlight of this show for me. |
| 0:50.4 | Hope you enjoy it as well. |
| 0:51.5 | Me and my uncle and Big River Follows and Garcia provides some |
| 0:56.0 | memorable guitar on both of those. West LA Fadeaway fellows, a funky version, listen to the |
| 1:02.3 | lyrics are a little different than usual. |
| 1:04.4 | Beat it on down the line. Loser, always a favorite of mine. Looks like Rain and then they close |
| 1:08.8 | set one with China Cat. Indu I know you ride are always a great choice. |
| 1:13.2 | So I think this is a fun first set and a great way to usher in fall, |
