this one is a gimme for Hornsby's jumpstart chops which makes for a devastating affair with jer and the guys lockin' in.

Shoreline Amphitheatre

Laconic and textural, devils hang loose. Chasms of endless spirals of blank fear only to be boingy wackjob cyberjazz, menacing, for OG 90's heads

Uncle John's Band

Shoreline Amphitheatre

High spirited and activated septet playing. Lengthy tonal solo and manic 7/4 takeoff

Blazing steamroller, Hornsby, flutterbird PITB. Elegant, direct, emblematic of the late style.

Chills. Big man is angelic, forever young on this madly inspired perfect groovy version with beautiful contributions from all.

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

Philadelphia Civic Center

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.
