The set opens with a lively \u201cSamson and Delilah,\u201d followed by a nicely rendered \u201cShip of Fools\u201d that provides an early contrast in mood. The improvisational core begins with \u201cEstimated Prophet,\u201d which unfolds patiently before transitioning into a bright and engaging \u201cEyes of the World.\u201d (nevermind Bobby stepping on Jerry's solo).  The Eyes is a bit on the fast side, I wonder if the presence of Ken Kesey and the Thunder machine had something to do with that? \u201cDrums\u201d and a concise \u201cSpace\u201d serve as a bridge into the closing sequence, where a driving \u201cNot Fade Away\u201d builds into \u201cGoin\u2019 Down the Road Feeling Bad\u201d and a high-energy \u201cAround and Around.\u201d The set is capped by a pair of encores\u2014\u201cU.S. Blues\u201d and \u201cSugar Magnolia\u201d\u2014that bring the performance to an upbeat conclusion. Overall, this is a well-paced and cohesive second set, offering both strong song performances and a satisfying improvisational arc. As always, I hope you enjoy the listen.     Grateful Dead Campus Stadium - University Of California Santa Barbara, CA 6\/4\/1978 - Sunday  Two      Samson And Delilah [6:34]  Ship Of Fools [6:57]  Estimated Prophet [10:40] > Eyes Of The World [10:16] > Drums [10:#16] > Space (1) [4:21] > Not Fade Away [8:04] > Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad [6:29] > Around And Around [7:27] Encores      U.S. Blues [5:09]  Sugar Magnolia [7:51]   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here: https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/deadshow\/deadpod062626.mp3  As always thanks for your kind support of the Deadpod!   ","author_name":"The Deadpod","author_url":"http:\/\/deadshow.blogspot.com","html":"
