feels good to get lost in a good fluid jed, the light at end of the tunnellin' jokester's mountain. Barrelhouse vince, weir and lesh and fire jer bear

Sitting way too low, this could be one of the best of the 90's. healthy wealthy and wise broad reaching improv with swirling seas of beauty and gets WAY out there!!! These years are so freaky. the uncle john's before it ain't a slouch either! Loved the introspectively anxious journey of this version.

Excellent pairing. Commanding. Creative, jumping and jolting, effortlessly tribal and heavy, elegant.

I really love the slower 90's ones of these. So very lush spherical and shiny, lassos the cosmos, big man dusts em off

phil and the devils are approaching boiling temperatures and Garcia's intentions and crestfallen porchside musings match the task and make for a version that slaps!!! pretty weir and welnik to boot.
