Easy breezy with the glinty afterglare of yore. Drifty transition to boot. Nice twilight septet memory making.

Hard hat 92, bluegrass plinky. Alchemical goop-laden improv. bluesy panache.

touching simplicity of row bridges the bullet-train nowness of this ripping bizarre banger. Post-capitalist freako jazz hair metal..

https://youtu.be/c0LeYB0IAHw Jerry's second solo on this one.... one of my favs, the sheer passion and fierce emotion exhibited by all for the blues in this version is deeply moving experience, makes me grateful to experience that GD magic
Playin' In The Band

i've been really sleeping on this one... intricate and refined from the first seconds of liftoff... rhodes rhodes rhodes. WOLF and bill kreutzmann made this tune his bitch in the early 70's his project for expansion. This is the rainy sushi and sake buffet to the michelin coursed meals of those DS's.
