I guess I just can't get enough of that good stuff.. .. :) but at any rate this week I've decided to bring you a rather rare treat. Back in 1971, the band finished a short, 3 show swing in the Northwest with this blistering performance in a small venue in Seattle on a Sunday night. This took place on January 24, 1971. This one is sparkin' from beginning to end, but I've split it up so we will hear part 1 this week and part 2 next week. It starts appropriately, with Truckin', then a wonderful China>Rider, which includes an incredible transition between the two. Pigpen follows with  the old blues standard - 'It Hurts Me Too'. A blistering Cumberland Blues follows, then a better than average 'Casey Jones' - Pig has some nice organ work here!  Sugar Mag closes set one in fine fashion and I can only imagine that everyone was dancing now! I've included the great Pigpen version of  'Hard to Handle' which opened set 2, and gives you a hint of things to come next week.      Grateful Dead Seattle Center Arena Seattle, WA 1/24/71 - Sunday One Truckin' China Cat Sunflower > I Know You Rider   It Hurts Me Too   Cumberland Blues   Casey Jones   Sugar Magnolia Two     Hard To Handle   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod012921.mp3  Thank you so much for your kind support of the Deadpod!
