Dead Show/podcast for 7/2/10

This week we have a sweet show from a year that has always been under-represented in the ranks of soundboard tapes - 1981 - This one saw the light of day earlier this year, and I'm really glad to share it with you this week. The boys are really on fire on this one - very tight and well played sets - and while most of the fireworks might come in the 2nd set we'll be listening to next week - just listen to the great transitions here in set 1 and pay particular attention to Jerry on 'Let It Grow' ---wow...
