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.

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

Playin' In The Band

Alpine Valley Music Theatre

indeed this one cooks!! Look out for trappings of desireless voids of spiring tentacling electronic experimentations in addition to stairways to glory. The proportions on this 84 ((that summer- think barband socratic trials of spacey uniquely delivered if not so much selected hard-edged gobblings in their sets, lots of folk and roots stuff)) predrums are maximally circadian with notes of pacific optimism rainbowing after days of storm, rieslings flowing. they land brooding and spectacular stirring the pot through a generous runtime for the era, limber and chasing dreams!! Psychy rivers to see go

Orlando Arena

first one after the greensboro Magna carta olympic gold eyesie. This one is special in its own right, the magic rubs off on this Orlando version's organically patient peaks and subtle tone shifts. Heartwarming pining syrupy jam sandwiching ambient ambitions and decorative garnishings of starkly adorned, artificially lit cinema. Petals blooming as timelapses of generations of species to scorche and rebirth the earth until the gods intervene. Juggles mariokart and classic tiger-style blissy glory with aplomb. It's terrific
