This week's Deadpod is big in every way - a wonderful second set
that features a fabulous Eyes of the World->Estimated
Prophet->Franklin's Tower that lasts nearly an hour and is among
the best versions ever of these songs. This comes to us from the
great fall of 79 tour, this one is from November 5th, 1979 from the
Spectrum in Philadelphia. The entire set is a real treat, starting
with a rare second set opening Althea and closing with a truly
rocking Sailor-Saint-Sugar Magnolia..

Not only is there alot of great music this week, but I took to
heart a suggestion that I try to improve the compression rate on
the mp3. Being just another picky deadhead myself, I'm very
concerned to have the music sound as good as possible - please let
me know if you notice the difference on this week's Deadpod. This
does increase the file size, and there are tradeoffs, but it may
well be worth the cost.
The other big news this week is that starting next week, KOPN, 89.5
FM, Community radio begins its Fall pledge drive. I'm trying to get
a head start on this by asking you for your support for the
Deadpod. I do hope you'll consider contributing to the Deadpod and
ensuring our continuance. I wanted to let you know this was
starting this week because I have an opportunity to send you a very
special thank you for supporting the Deadpod - a copy of the brand
new release "Rocking the Cradle - Egypt 78" CD/DVD combination set
that releases on September 30th!
This two cd/dvd set chronicles the historic shows in Egypt in 1978
- including 95 minutes of concert footage - and I'm so happy to be
able to offer this to my listeners who contribute at a $60 level or
above. I wanted to get a headstart on this as I'm going to be
getting some surgery done later in October and would like to take
care of this before all that goes down.. so at any rate, if you'd
like to get a copy of this wonderful set, just contribute to the
Deadpod during this big membership drive. You can click the 'Make a
Donation' button on the left hand side of the page here:

Thank YOU!
Whew! I hope the Deadpod and all the news isn't TOO big! but then
again, I always loved the BIG sound of seeing the Dead and I think
you'll enjoy this week's show..
Be well and thanks for picking us up!
