consonantly epic woodshedding on Bird at a special spot, swimming through time.

Good lush midi cassidy into this speedmeister jaunty shuffler. Bruce and weir aim high. Inspired smooth flow. Propulsive coda. Zoo wee mama!

Another gorgeous headlong peggy for caves and knolls, formidable 90's new age orb head textures. Rosebud arpeggiation takes off gloriously in solos.

intensely hot pan seared Bruce version. Five alarm chaw with thematic accompaniment and hootenany feelings

Love the 4/8 london one, and this!!! DS>sug. mag.>caution. Militarizing and bolstering their trademark 60's experimentation to answer their latest questions and drop the nets even further in the ocean of popular musical idiom, all that c&w, jazz, and bossa nova turning to a golden brown macronage in Hamburg. Kreutzman costume party of different laughs and shrugs of emphasis lending this pentatonic ambience narrative swells of imagination. knight in shining armor of a feelin' groovy, this one slowly boils the pot over to Tighten up-adjacent before pulling out the rug to hard Santana-kissed space. Blurring everything. the oneness. this ds is a palindrome of approaches, post-verse with arguably even more psychotic interjection-based work from all bridging with mature complexity back to intuitive sailin'-bird-cryin' funk. Painterly, contemplative and pastoral yet teeming with unheard impulses and a frantic contradictory mania.

anyone have any favorite dead podcasts? ideally ones where they get into specific versions, almost music analysis? (Gave the "36 from the vault" a try, it's a couple guys from The Rock Press who don't really know their shit about the dead, for example could only think of 5/8/77 when getting into talking about a scarlet fire, are not Tennessee jed-pilled, bob blues-pilled, etc but they have a lot of good cultural context filler)
