Eyes Of The World
May 23, 1982
Greek Theatre, U. Of California

Great eleven-esque stuff that DJ crossfades into this marvelous Eyesie. Skimpy yes, think of the blazing short 78 TO1, and groove on this greek upper

Uncle John's Band

Greek Theatre, U. Of California

euphoric, first-rate, gorgeous and thick. Resumes the tidal magnificently opulent warmth of PITB with the grace of liszt or bach.

The Other One
April 7, 1984
Irvine Meadows

more Aries szn love from a special year definitely pointing to the "culmination" of a sound, like 78 most recently before it. This show gets into a big Playin' and Wharf with a nice Big railroad, Althea, Stranger before.
Black Peter
April 6, 1984
Aladdin Theater

Truckin=nicely done, phil masterclass. Black peter... trembling with brown acid-laced "why hast thou forsaken me" deathbed solitude and despair... all versions are awesome to me. if you must know
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
April 6, 1984
Aladdin Theater

Great drums melt, so much strength is implied and the mood is always romantically in pursuit of the next thing like dragonchasing lily-caped phantoms. Another Kurosawa arm wrestle of an S/S.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 6, 1984
Aladdin Theater

Blustery party time and at a certain sunkissed angle, extremely evocative. Really faithful and architecturally sound imaginings of deeply loved and played material in Vegas on the spring 84 run
Hell in a Bucket
April 6, 1984
Aladdin Theater

Narcotic but with a guiding kind of variety show sleazeball vision, the screaming vocal offsets this one's potential for a real sleep paralysis demon of a doozie sleeper 4.0 bucket but the thing Rips.
