Dead Show/podcast for 4/3/26

We roll into the Spring Tour of 1982 on this week’s Deadpod, visiting Rochester, New York, where the boys always seemed to play a great show—and this one is no exception. They open with a jumping “Alabama Getaway” that slides into a tight “Greatest Story Ever Told.” From there the feel shifts from an easy‑rolling “Dire Wolf” into a bluesy “C C Rider.” The band takes flight on a soaring “Bird Song” that stretches out just enough to let you really sink into the jam. They move back into the barroom with “It’s All Over Now” and a bruised “Loser.” Following a raucous “New Minglewood Blues,” the familiar refrain of “China Cat” kicks off a joyous ride into “I Know You Rider,” closing out a smartly constructed, highly satisfying first set.
