Episode description as stored
The Dead have a long history of great Spring performances, and 1980 was no exception. This week we go to Nassau for the May 14, 1980 show at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York. This was the first night of a three‑show run, with the last two nights later compiled on the 2002 "Go To Nassau" release, leaving this opening show as the odd one out from the official catalog. This show comes shortly after the "Go To Heaven" release, so they open with "Alabama Getaway." Jerry gives us a fine reading of "Candyman," and the arrangements on Weir's "country" tunes—"Mexicali Blues" and "El Paso"—are rockin'. "Tennessee Jed" follows, with Brent providing a lovely counterpoint to Garcia's leads. "Let It Grow" then leads into a still‑new "Althea." Another "Go To Heaven" tune follows, Brent's "Easy to Love You," which leads into a rocking, set‑closing "Music Never Stopped." Let's settle in at Nassau Coliseum, May 14, 1980, on this week's Deadpod. Grateful Dead Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum Uniondale, NY 5/14/1980 - Wednesday One     Alabama Getaway [4:10] > The Promised Land [4:08] ; Candyman [7:32] ; Mexicali Blues [4:33] > El Paso [4:22] ; Tennessee Jed [9:25] ; Let It Grow [9:00] > Althea [8:15] ; Easy To Love You [3:49] > The Music Never Stopped [7:38]  You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  https://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod050826.mp3   As always my sincere thanks for your kind support.
