This week we're treated to the second set of October 2nd, 1977 from
Portland OR.
I think you'll find this to be a a real treat - a wonderful Samson
kicks it off, followed by a nearly perfect Scarlet->Fire. I
think you'll love what Garcia does here - especially in the
transition!
The Playin' that follows becomes gloriously out there - I think
you'll find Phil is really taking the lead here and in the great
jams that follow - the Truckin' and Other One are really fabulous
examples of this era of the Dead at its best..
Grateful Dead Paramount Theatre Portland, OR 10/2/77 - Sunday

The Mountain [11:45] ; Funiculi Funicula [0:36] ; Playing In The

I wanted to take a moment to thank all of you who made
contributions during my pledge drive - once again I can only
express my thanks and tell you that Deadheads are the kindest folks
around.. I'll have those Egypt CD sets out to you as soon as I get
them in from Rhino (and I'm back up and around)..
speaking of up and around, there won't be a Deadpod next week - I
have to get some surgery done on my leg next week and know I won't
be back in time for next Friday's show.. sorry about that..
hopefully I'll feel up to it for the week of the 24th...
