Description
This week we conclude the band's performance on July 26, 1972 at the Paramount Theater in Portland, Oregon.
Clearly the 'Dark Star' we open with is the highlight of this set, if not the show. It traverses the heavens for over half and hour and features some excellent improvisational displays (see the Dark Star map below). It leads into a lovely and soulful 'Comes A Time'. 'Sugar Mag' follows to get things rockin' again, and that leads into a 'Brown Eyed Women' which is unfortunately cut on the tape. Another Jerry ballad - 'Stella Blue' follows and then the band revs it up for a fine 'Not Fade Away>Going Down the Road>Not Fade Away' conclusion to this epic set.
'One More Saturday Night' is the encore, although this one was played on Wednesday :)

Here's a fun second set from November 1985 for this week's Deadpod.
'Touch of Grey' into 'Samson' starts things off with some nice Jerry solos in Samson... The 'High Time' that follows makes up for the flubbed ending on Samson with some excellent Jerry vocals. 'Let It Grow' is probably the...

This week we have one of the finest shows from the Fall tour of 1985. This comes to us from Rochester New York on November 7, 1985.
The opening 'Dancing In the Street' is strong and cohesive - we can tell we are in for a special night. The 'Dire Wolf' presents Jerry in fine voice. While Bobby is...
