Dead Show/podcast for 10/5/12

Fall of 1976 was an excellent period for the band and this week's show is a nod to the upcoming release of 'Dave's Picks' 4' as well as a great representation of this tour, as  we travel to Indianapolis for a show that took place on October 1st, 1976.  We will hear the first set this week, and while it does take a song or two for the band to really rev up, I think by the time Deal arrives we know we're in for a good show.  My personal highlights include the Brown Eyed women and of course, the rare first-set Scarlet Begonias.  This is a really interesting time for the group as they are moving from the slower more jazzy improvisational pieces and developing the tighter rhythmic structures that we know and love in 1977.  I hope you enjoy this week's Deadpod..     Grateful Dead - October 1, 1976 Market Square Arena - Indianapolis, IN Set 1: Bertha Mama Tried Deal Cassidy Friend Of The Devil Big River Brown Eyed Women It's All Over Now Scarlet Begonias Promised Land
