Dead Show/podcast for 12/30/11

Happy New Year my friends!!
While I realize the traditional choice for this week would be one of the great New Years Shows that the band performed, I really didn't want to orphan the electric set from the Jerry Band's performance on December 4th, 1987 that we had the pleasure of hearing the acoustic set from on last week's Deadpod.
This is truly a fine performance from Jerry and I personally just love this choice of songs.. unfortunately the 'Cats Under the Stars' opener is missing, but the rest is wonderful, a perfect way to forget about your cares for an hour and let yourself be carried away into the Zone...

Check out the new Keeley Overdrive when you have a chance! It has a fantastic active tone control
system and JFETS that sound as close as possible to tubes!

My thanks for a great year - we couldn't do it without your help..
Best wishes for a VERY happy 2012!

Dead Show/podcast for 12/09/11

This week's second set from December 6th, 1981 - I think any set with 'To Lay Me Down' in it is probably worth the trouble to listen to, and I think this one is quite nice, classic 81 Dead. I love the effects during space also.. (40 years after the attack on Pearl Harbor?..).
Hope you enjoy this one too, thank you so much for your support.

This week's Deadpod comes from a show that took place almost exactly 30 years ago - back on December 6th, 1981 once again at the Rosemont Horizon in Chicago Illinois. This is a very well played show, and I really think you'll enjoy the Sugaree as well as the Look Likes Rain, among others.. This was a really nice tour for the band, and they are firing together on all cylanders.. I hope you enjoy it!
