Happy Labor Day weekend!
This week's Deadpod takes us to New York state, up to Rochester, where the Dead played a fine outdoor show during the day of September 1st, 1979.
The first set which we will hear this week, breaks from the gate with a fine 'Mississippi Half-Step' > 'Franklin's Tower' combination. This is for me the highlight of this set, almost 20 minutes long.
The rest of the first set is fine, high-energy Dead, culminating in only the 2nd time that Bobby sang the 'Lost Sailor'>'Saint of Circumstance' combo.. since this is only the 2nd time he performed 'Saint' check out the crazy lyrics! Fun!

As you did, I enjoyed hearing the early, alternate lyrics to Saint. It's always interesting to experience the evolution of the songs into the ultimate versions that we know and love so much. For example, I always enjoy hearing Wave That Flag. Thanks for sharing, Professor.
