This week we have a great new soundboard of a show from a year that's
often under appreciated - 1980. This comes to us from August 29th,
1980, when the boys played the Spectrum in Philladelphia. The first
set, which we'll hear this week, starts off with a rockin' Alabama
Getaway->Promised Land opener. The band proceeds to play a really
high energy twelve song first set, nicely played and sounding like they
were really listening to one another. Brent fits in very nicely here,
as he's really found his spot by now. I really enjoy the Big River, and
Row Jimmy, and check out the crazy set closing Deal!!! This
week marks the start of KOPN's spring pledge drive, so I am asking for
your help in allowing our community radio station, and this podcast, to
remain on the air. Any contribution, no matter what, will help to keep
us going. I'm working on securing some CDs to use as premiums to thank
you for your support, and will announce them when and if they're
finalized. But in the meantime, I hope you'll consider clicking on the
contribute now button and helping us out with your contribution. If you
prefer to phone in your support, you can reach the station at (573)
874-1139. Thanks!! Grateful Dead The Spectrum Philadelphia, PA 8/29/80 - Friday One
