Dead Show/podcast for 1/5/24

This week's Deadpod returns for the second set of the band's performance at the Oakland Coliseum Arena on December 27th, 1989. 

Clarence Clemmons makes a surprise appearance on the opening Iko, Iko and adds a great touch here as the band gets the crowd wound up for what is a fine second set. A spacey 'Playin' In the Band' follows - with some extraterrestrial exploration before going into a lovely 'Crazy Fingers'. 'Uncle John's Band' caps off the pre-drums set. The post-drums is highlighted by a truly wonderful 'Morning Dew'.. there was an issue with Jerry's sound at the end but that really doesn't detract from what is a great version. 

The boys then surprise the crowd with a double encore -'Johnny B. Goode' and 'Black Muddy River'..
