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

just stunning. Beautiful heights of pillowy, luxuriant depths of cloudborne thought trains stopped for delays of mortality. Hunter's specialty since at least 87 was teleprompter state of the unions, always loved this gorgeous one, jerry set it amazingly, the harmony is so classical and the delivery is peak twilight texture, especially evident when light shining forth affixed the trappings of the cracks of space. Deep stuff, then jerry lets fly a tremendous breathtaking facemelter. michelin star version duuuude..!!
