Can't believe I'm submitting this. Long and fun drum circle that's notable because our Jer Bear whips out a steel pan and joins in.

Jerry tearing the standards book asunder with this elegant poetic brilliance

Big River

For a few minutes wembley in '90 becomes the fillmore in the summer of 1970, the way the Dead just slide into a no-nonsense Big River. Shivers

greasy charged up and shit hot
Sugaree

Playin' In The Band
Oct. 28, 1979
Cape Cod Coliseum

a tender, reactive, pastoral expanse of kind sound. brent contributes a lot. He relinquishes downbeat control to cowboy shenanigans from jerry and phil which get the whole thing ready to spider dance. quite a patient build. Every note is in place. Shows' also got a white water raft race of a Half step>Franklin's and a kind gorgeous Ramble>Music.
