Can't believe I'm submitting this. Long and fun drum circle that's notable because our Jer Bear whips out a steel pan and joins in.

Big River

For a few minutes wembley in '90 becomes the fillmore in the summer of 1970, the way the Dead just slide into a no-nonsense Big River. Shivers

Weather Report Suite

Cow Palace

more wall of sound goods.... Lesh Phd seminar on this, when he really dials in he totally shapes the profile, dynamically and rhythmically of whatever is happening in a given moment. This is a premium aged WRS to devour. Seagulling through time with the jones gang

Quaking with emotion... glorious lightning bolt years one
Morning Dew

Cow Palace

the pearly meat of a "Playin uncle john's dew" that can stand with honor next to the 11/17/73 one. they totally knew that the wall of sound was their golden ticket to get fuckin greasy every single night ( this is the show of which Lesh spoke of hearing "the voice of god") and they bless the occasion with a bone-rattling dew couched in enough righteous forward thinking jams to get you rethinking your life choices, i mean this thing is borderline electronic music for its streamlined precision and crazy flow. Dorgive the figressions here we've got a deliciously tender and intimate performance that crawls through a minefield to inevitable devastation. They totally lose it
Uncle John's Band

and they're off... it's amazing how they can gently color that innocent natural minor mode so tense and suspenseful
