Podcasts about from the heart of me

 This week's Deadpod features the second set from February 17, 1979 in Oakland California.  This is a fine set, almost two hours long, and features some excellent improvisational jamming, as well as the return of some music into the rotation and the last time one song would be played.  Might as Well opens th ing sup, then a great 'I Need a Miracle>Bertha>Good Lovin' combo. Garcia is n particularly good form on the Bertha, and Bob and Donna do a splendid job on the vocals on 'Good Lovin'.  We then get the last 'From the Heart of Me' as this night marks Keith and Donna's last show with the band. A nice 'Big Railroad Blues' makes its first appearance since the Winterland shows in 1974. We then get a exploratory 'Terrapin' into a long 'Playin in The Band' before they go into drums.  'The Wheel' is especially fine coming out of Drums and that is followed by a mellow 'Shakedown Street' marking Keith's last real contribution to the sound. The 'Playin' reprise that follows is quite long for that segment and leads into a nice 'Sugar Magnolia'  The 'One More Saturday Night' encore marks the last Donna wail...     Grateful Dead Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena Oakland, CA 2/17/79 - Saturday Two     Might As Well [4:26] ; I Need A Miracle [4:53] > Bertha [7:04] > Good Lovin' [6:38] ; From The Heart Of Me [3:26] ; Big Railroad Blues [4:29] ; Terrapin Station [12:#01] > Playing In The Band [15:13] > Drums [6:37#] > The Wheel [6:42] ; Shakedown Street [12:19] > Playing In The Band [8:14] > Sugar Magnolia [9:10]   Encore     One More Saturday Night [4:41]   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod030422.mp3 May the four winds blow you safely home..  thanks my friends  

We head into the new year with a show from the Winter of 1979 - this comes to us from the Nassau Coliseum on January 11, 1979.  The first set starts off with a wonderful version of 'Sugaree' - Garcia sets the tone for this set right out of the gate.. some wonderful runs here. 'Me & My Uncle' and 'Big River' follows and the latter, in particular, delivers more Jerry magic. Things slow down a bit with a long 'Peggy-O', and Bobby does a nice 'Cassidy' to follow. 'Friend of the Devil' and the 'New New Minglewood Blues follow'. Donna does a rare version of 'From the Heart of Me', before they break into the crowd favorite 'Ramble on Rose'.  The highlight of the set, in my mind, follows with a smoking version of 'Jack Straw'. Despite Weir stepping on Garcia's incredible solo, this one is sure to please. Jerry heads into the break delivering a rocking 'Deal'.  Grateful Dead Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum Uniondale, NY 1/11/79 - Thursday One     Sugaree [13:50] ; Me And My Uncle [2:54] > Big River [6:20] ; Peggy-O [8:59] ; Cassidy [4:58] ; Friend Of The Devil [9:50] ; New Minglewood Blues [5:35] ; From The Heart Of Me [3:50] ; Ramble On Rose [8:01] ; Jack Straw [6:12] > Deal [6:13]  You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod010722.mp3   check out Bobby's ad libbed lyrics in 'Jack Straw'...    Stay warm and healthy my friends, and thank you so much for your kind support..   

This week's Deadpod features the second set of the band's 'From Egypt With Love' performances at Winterland on October 18, 1978. This is an interesting set, it starts out rather slow, with a less than inspired 'Bertha'>'Good Lovin'. If you're a fan, Donna Jean's 'From the Heart of Me' follows.. I rather enjoy it, but it may be an acquired taste. 'Ship of Fools' follows, then the pre-drums highlight 'Samson and Delilah'. 'Terrapin Station' follows, but Jerry blows the lyrics and does an extended solo. An excellent 'Playin' In the Band' leads into a Drums and Space marked by the guest appearance of Lee Oskar, which gives it an unusual flavor. The jam into the 'Wharf Rat' that follows is exceptional however, as is the Rat, one of the best of the period. A very unusual set-closing 'Truckin' follows, quite well played. They return for an equally unusual 'I Need a Miracle' encore, a song that really fit well in that spot...   Grateful Dead Winterland Arena San Francisco, CA 10/18/78 - Wednesday   Two     Bertha [7:13] > Good Lovin' [6:05] ; From The Heart Of Me [3:48] ; Ship Of Fools [6:36] ; Samson And Delilah [8:19] ; Terrapin Station [12:06] > Playing In The Band [10:#49] > Drums (1) [9:30] > Space (1) [5:58] > Wharf Rat [11:#33] > Truckin' [11:21] Encore     I Need A Miracle [4:20#] Comments     (1) with Lee Oskar on harmonica, appears at 4:48 into drums.   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod102519.mp3    Have a safe and happy Halloween!!   The Deadpod exists due to the kindness of those good folk who support it. Thank you.   

This week we can forget our troubles with a fine second set from this early 1979 date in Kansas City. Scarlet starts a little slow, and Jerry's voice cracks a bit here and there, but he really starts soaring around the 3:30 mark. Around the 6:00 minute mark the calypso beat moves in, Donna's background vocals add just enough mystery not to be overpowering, and we float along waiting for the other shoe to drop. Eventually Jerry's notes flutter in like a bee, as the rhythm intensifies; a beautiful transition into 'Fire'. Again, while Jerry's voice is a bit strained, his playing is is unhurried, yet searing.. uplifting. Once you hear these two, you know you're in for a great musical moment. 'From the Heart Of Me' brings us back to Shakedown Street, and  in perspective, we're reminded of what was lost when Donna and Keith left the band. Excellent Jerry solo around the 4:00 min mark of the first one, all around a nice, unhurried jam, the boys spread their wings and you feel the music as it lets them glide into 'Eyes of the World'. Here the soundboard tape is patches with an audience source but there is little loss of fidelity. There's a marvelous, somewhat dark and forboding jam following Drums and a short but interesting Other One. The double encore with a 'Miracle' closer, sure seems to indicate they were having fun that night!     Grateful Dead Soldier's And Sailors Memorial Hall Kansas City, KS 2/10/79 - Saturday Two Scarlet Begonias [12:33] > Fire On The Mountain [10:37] ; From The Heart Of Me [3:31] ; Estimated Prophet [11:51] > Eyes Of The World [11:13] > Space [1:37] > Drums [6:30#] > Space [13:38] > The Other One [6:46] > Wharf Rat [9:57] > Sugar Magnolia [8:16] Encore One More Saturday Night [4:47] ; I Need A Miracle [6:13]   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod020819.mp3   May the music bring you joy and peace.   thanks so much for your kind support.
