Dead Show/podcast for 2/27/26

This week on the Deadpod, we roll into the second set from the band's show at Pauley Pavilion, UCLA, on February 21, 1982. The set kicks off with a lively China → Rider that flows effortlessly into a spacious Estimated Prophet. The jam here has a jazzy, relaxed vibe, with Bobby laying down some especially tasteful rhythmic textures. Eyes of the World follows — played at that brisk early-'80s tempo that might not be everyone's favorite, but Garcia's soaring fills more than make up for it. After Drums and Space, the band launches into a fascinating Not Fade Away, led off by a wonderful Phil Lesh intro that gradually gathers steam as each player adds their voice to the mix. It builds into a full-on whirlwind, topped by some of Bobby's trademark calls to the crowd. A heartfelt Brokedown Palace encore closes things out beautifully after a spirited Sugar Magnolia.   Grateful Dead Pauley Pavilion - University of California Los Angeles, CA 2/21/1982 - Sunday Two     China Cat Sunflower > I Know You Rider > Estimated Prophet > Eyes Of The World > Drums > Space > Not Fade Away > Stella Blue > Sugar Magnolia Encore     Brokedown Palace You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod022726.mp3 Thank you so much for your kind support
