This is early\u2011\u201980s Brent Mydland era, and the band sounds sharp and energized: Jerry\u2019s in good voice, Brent\u2019s keys add color and bounce, and the rhythm section keeps everything moving with plenty of drive and nuance.  In this first installment we feature the opening set, a compact but very satisfying run that opens with \u201cJack Straw\u201d and \u201cPeggy\u2011O,\u201d moves through \u201cMe and My Uncle,\u201d \u201cBig River,\u201d \u201cLoser,\u201d and \u201cAlthea,\u201d and builds to a strong \u201cLet It Grow\u201d before closing with \u201cDon\u2019t Ease Me In.\u201d Next week we\u2019ll return to Nassau for the second set, highlighted by a big \u201cShakedown Street\u201d opener, a deep \u201cTerrapin Station\u201d into \u201cPlayin\u2019 in the Band\u201d sequence, and a powerful closing stretch that feels just right for the start of summer.  I hope you enjoy this slice of May 1981 from Nassau. &amp;nbsp; Grateful Dead Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum Uniondale, NY 5\/8\/1981 - Friday One Jack Straw [5:38] ; Peggy-O [6:47] ; Me And My Uncle [2:59] &amp;gt; Big River [5:39] ; Loser [8:05] ; C C Rider [7:49] ; Althea [8:43] &amp;gt; Let It Grow[10:27] &amp;gt; Don't Ease Me In [3:12] You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:&amp;nbsp;  https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/deadshow\/deadpod052226.mp3 Have a safe and fun Memorial Day weekend.....&amp;nbsp; ","author_name":"The Deadpod","author_url":"http:\/\/deadshow.blogspot.com","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/41377060\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/202187265"}
