"Uni Dome Bliss: Jerry's Guitar Magic Illuminating Iowa Nights"

Larry Mishkin discusses a Grateful Dead concert from February 5, 1978, held at the Uni Dome at the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls. He emphasizes the exceptional performance, particularly focusing on the Scarlet Begonias and Fire on the Mountain combo, which he compares favorably to the renowned Barton Hall show from May 1977. Larry praises the guitar work of Jerry Garcia and highlights the unique qualities of this less-discussed but outstanding 1978 show. Additionally, he briefly touches on recent music news, including the Dead and Company's residency at The Sphere in Las Vegas and the upcoming Days Between event at Jazz Fest in New Orleans, featuring Government Mule and other legendary musicians.

Not always everyone’s favorite, but this is a ripping version, they change the tempo on a dime and rock it out to end the second set.

"Around and Around" is a 1958 rock song written and first recorded by Chuck Berry. It originally appeared under the name "Around & Around" as the B-side to the single "Johnny B. Goode".

Covered by:

Rolling Stones - The Rolling Stones covered the song on their EP, Five by Five and second U.S. album 12 X 5 in 1964. Besides the band members it featured Ian Stewart on piano. In October 1964, they performed the song as part of their first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show. They played it on a regular basis on their tours in 1964 and 1965. In 1964 the Stones opened their famed TAMI Show with the song. After more than a decade they performed the song again at the Knebworth Fair on August 21, 1976. It was also included on the 1977 live album Love You Live, from the El Mocambo club gig in Toronto. After that, it has only been performed occasionally, most recently during the band's 2012 U.S. tour at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey on December 15

David Bowie - English musician David Bowie recorded the song in 1971, produced by Ken Scott, under the title "Round and Round". Originally slated for inclusion on his 1972 album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, it was ousted by "Starman" at the last minute.[4] Regarding the song, Bowie stated in 1972: "It would have been the kind of number that Ziggy would have done onstage...He jammed it for old times' sake in the studio, and our enthusiasm for it probably waned after we heard it a few times. We replaced it with a thing called 'Starman'. I don't think it's any great loss, really.
