Happy Winter Solstice!                 and of course Merry Christmas..........   While this is the last Deadpod before the holiday, I will naturally include some great acoustic Dead music for your enjoyment. However since it is also a few days before the holiday, I thought I would break with tradition a bit and include some electric Dead as well. The show I selected for this week really dictated this choice, its a fine show that was performed back on April 3rd, 1970 at the University of Cincinnati in Cincinnati Ohio. I bring you part one this week. Unlike most acoustic sets, this show features an acoustic set right smack in the middle.. so rather than try to rearrange the songs I thought I would bring you the first part this week and finish up next Friday night. Some of the highlights here include a great jam in 'China Cat'>'I Know You Rider' , Pigpen on 'Hard to Handle' and Katie Mae', and the first ever preformance of 'Candyman' . Don't miss the alternative lyrics on a nice acoustic 'Friend of the Devil'.     Grateful Dead Field House - University of Cincinnati Cincinnati, OH 4/3/70 - Friday One - 2:07:30   Casey Jones [#3:45];[0:34] ; China Cat Sunflower [3:04] > Jam [1:40] > I Know You Rider [4:04];[0:36] ; Hard To Handle [4:58];[0:40] ; Dancing In The Street [10:04];[0:28] ; Me And My Uncle [2:57];[0:38] % Friend Of The Devil [3:42];[0:38] ; Deep Elem Blues [5:16] [0:33]%[0:10] ; Candyman [5:01];[0:19] ; Wake Up Little Susie [2:17] > Black Peter [7:20] > Uncle John's Band [6:15] ; Intro (1) [2:52] ; Katie Mae [3:51];[0:13] %   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod122118.mp3     I wish you and yours a peaceful, joyous holiday.   thank you for your support
