Dead Show/podcast for 10/16/09

This week we get to listen to one of the best second sets that the band produced in 1983.. Each of these songs individually is played with a verve that will bring a smile to your face, but the totality, as is often the case with the Dead, is much more than the beauty of the individual songs.I could tell you how much I enjoy this particular china->rider, or the wonderful Space into the best St. Stephen of the last three the band played, but I'd rather you simply enjoy this set and the joy that I hope it brings you...Grateful DeadHartford Civic CenterHartford, CT.October 15, 1983set 2:China Cat-> 6:17.47I Know You Rider 7:26.39Playing in the Band-> 16:03.70China Doll-> 7:55.08Drums-> 8:44.38Space-> 9:44.16Saint Stephen-> 7:52.60Throwing Stones-> 9:02.12Saturday Night 4:43.08encore:Brokedown Palace 5:53.00You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:http://media.libsyn.com/media/deadshow/deadpod101609.mp3thanks for picking us up - and for your support my friends.PS Happy Birthday Bobby Weir!
