Estimated Prophet
June 6, 1991
Deer Creek Music Center

sprawling, effervescent, columnar. The blend of all the icy bralove tone makes for a devastating effect especially when the devils file the paperwork and everything is on schedule and really locked in fundamentally. The sparks coming off it with enough imagination in the tank for lulls and surges of frequency from all, especially rosebud at the stern.

welcome to this deliriously hyperwarped month. Shimmering with radial possibility. This jack is a weaving, beautiful tryst with leather outlaw broadway energy.
Throwing Stones
Oct. 9, 1982
Frost Amphitheatre

so awesome. Language from jerry reminiscent of "Slipknot" has been noted for this version and I agree, lots of serpentine weird shit happening, very heavy, yet acrobatic!!!
Spanish Jam
March 29, 1984
Marin County Veterans Auditorium

serious and demanding, absolutely love it. Chamber dead
