I must say that my listeners are simply the best ! I received an simply perfect request this week for the show we're going to start listening to this week as I was casting about in my mind trying to decide what to play... and what a show it is. This show not only shows the band in a period of transition from their slower tempo early '77 style of playing to the more uptempo arrangements of 1978 but its simply one of the best shows of the entire year. The first set which we'll listen to this week, not only blasts out of the gates with a fabulous Bertha->Good Lovin' , but keeps up a most memorable and high energy performance on every tune. Not to be missed, the set closing Let It Grow is truly outstanding, and really shows the unique ability of the band to fire off in all directions yet to find the 'one' and bring us all back into harmony and love.. whew.. a great set and the second set from next week is even better.....

Nicely done. This one is a winner.
This is such a good show! The Stella in the second set is one of my absolute all-time favorites, to say nothing of the excellent Eyes>Estimated. This last week, especially, of the '77 fall tour was just so hot.
Happy Homecoming!
Nice show. Can't wait for the next part.
I know you tend to lean towards acoustic sets, but I would like to suggest putting up the 11/14/71 show from Fort Worth if you have it. Very nice se, great sound, and it was here in my backyard.
i am a current colgate student, and was pretty excited to see our one dead show get into the deadpod. its a great show! thanks a lot!
This is a great recording of a truly fantastic show. Does anyone know the source of this? It sounds like a high quality audience recording and better balanced than the soundboard I have (and without some of the annoying gaps). Just curious..
A very well-played and -sung set from a stellar year!
It's my sincere honor and pleasure to monetarily support the Deadpod, and I had always wanted to also support its advertisers. Sadly, I am not a musician, so buying a pick-up or pre-amp from Keeley Electronics has never really been in the cards. But, I was excited to be listening to some of these archived shows and hearing about a company called Ecosak, a purveyor of fine beanbag chairs. Although I wasn't actively in the market for a beanbag, I thought, "Hey, at least I could make use of a product such as this." More importantly, I wanted to support those who have supported the Deadpod. So, it's now November 2013, and I went to their site (www.ecosak.com); and sadly, they're going out of business, and only selling their remaining stock. Incidentally, I'm ashamed to say that I won't be making a purchase, as I had no idea what a beanbag made of recycled foam and organic cotton actually costs! I wish them the best of luck, though, and sincerely appreciate their contribution to the Deadpod.
My point, at which I've arrived in a rather roundabout fashion, is this: whether or not you need or can afford what the Deadpod's advertisers are selling, we can all ensure that the Deadpod will always be around by contributing directly to the Deadpod on a consistent basis. May these archives continue to exist years after the fact so that late-comers such as myself can discover and enjoy this amazing band and its music for a long, long time. A tip of the cap to you, Professor, and to all of those who support you!
