I Need A Miracle

Deer Creek Music Center

6 tracks pre-drums, a set chock full of patient, far-reaching playing. This is a perfect party time palate cleanser, searing.

A version that earns the submission. Inspired and filled out. Night prior is hot and the Deer Creek magic reigns.

Excellent generously stately and tumultuous intro. Laid back. Nice melt to black peter.

this is a golden stretch in terms of style and form for GD. Deep and thickly bright sprinting jam

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

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

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