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.

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
