This week's Deadpod features a *monster* Scarlet>Fire from the second set of the band's performance on September 1st, 1979 in Rochester New York. But first, take a moment to appreciate the unusual intro from Bobby to this second set :)
This Scarlet>Fire is one of those rather underappreciated jams that can stand comparison to the best of '73 or '74 Dead. Enjoy the places Garcia takes you as he weaves his magic on this ride. This one takes the entire pre-drums portion of the show.
Following the rather short drums>Space, Garcia gives us a fine 'Wharf Rat', then the band settles into a rocking groove, with Miracle, 'Bertha', and 'Good Lovin' to close out the set. They return for a curfew-shortened 'One More Saturday Night'

ok i know im high, i know i love the dead and pink floyd, but i swear the wharf rat jam that has bob and jerty doin some stuff ive never heard in a wharf rat from this '79 rochester show seems like a nod (a strong nod) to pink floyd in a year when the floyd was huge for the wall and dark side of the moon was still on the top ten 3 years later.
Really enjoyed Phil's contribution during Wharf Rat!
Thank you
