Next is the five song sequence that ended the first set on 7/7/81 in Kansas City, all of which came from Bob’s and Jerry’s solo records: Lazy Lightnin' > Supplication ; Bird Song > Looks Like Rain> Deal.
Lastly this week is the end of the Dead’s show on 7/6/86 at RFK Stadium, where we have Space>Stella Blue>Throwing Stones>Not Fade Away, Brokedown Palace.
Be sure to join us here next week for more music from the vault.

Jerry sounds pretty dang good for only 4 days before his diabetic coma.
Tough dude, I'd say. What a trouper.
Cheers
I must say, the best "Deals" are the ones that come with the bonus guitar solo & jams at the end!
