Eerie. this jerry-driven version is mired in the paranoia of imminent doom with the wink of cyberjazz. Reaches a to1-esque crater of solemn peace.

yet another symphonic slammer. Deeply meant.

First rate. Excellent group blend, they're ready for the fireworks of the two years to follow

80s are a goldmine for LLR's, this one wirey, lustrous and cinematic.

welcome wink of a heel-diggingly true pure rendering. Spiky and down home like jerry and hunter's best evocations of timeless tribulation and delitez.

The Other One
June 19, 1991
Pine Knob

evoked in spirit in the hamsterball flurry of a 12/8 surge in the final peak of space as well its other more robustly rock-based passages. Patient and refined, things start to get goopy after a comet of a soberingly delicate stella. Phil and the devils name the game through the whole show and continue grasping the frontiers of to1 in their stead. Keyboards sound amazing and multiple peaks, this is a thrilling and rewarding set 2.
Stella Blue
June 19, 1991
Pine Knob

Fantastic stuff. Space is long and punishing, beautiful and blistering in turns. lots of freakishness ensues before the dulcet feelings and jazzy runs of the ballad slot creep in. Everyone is well oiled and killing, devastating twinkler. Peering out over sapphire grey moonlit black clouds, spheres of nothingness, surveying it as a lair from sitting back in a chair nodding off
Drums -> Space
June 19, 1991
Pine Knob

dry soundboard can't mute this trippy drums/seinfeld jam/space. Decompose the structure from root basis, then apply new conformities to your new environments. wailing avant-garde soundscapes of freakish nothingness. Stirling passages of imaginative virtuosity in the vein of Evan parker or Sam rivers, feeling chasers armed with spiritually dissonant skronk.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
June 19, 1991
Pine Knob

Victim unleashes a snarling beast of puddly dark star-esque stuff. The freaks ran for the hills, just when you can't remember your name a chill seasoned scarlet fire comes swooping in. Lyric flubs get swept up in the breezy fun of all that perky bubbly articulation. you can tell set 2 is a serious undertaking for bill and mick who file the paperwork with giddy aplomb while also keeping the fire jumpers and sword swallowers, trapezists on hand like churchill's war room. After characteristically imbuing set 1 with a lackadaisical polyrhythmic intrigue, the pendulum swung to having everything be on the edge of your seat. Frantic transition with phenomenal chamber jazz.
Victim Or The Crime
June 19, 1991
Pine Knob

Phenomenal set 2 opener, menacingly verbose post-zappa craziness so deep in their arena-borne crazy sound, gives way for the devils to take it to the next level and all instrumentalists' nutty FX to give everything an uncanny sheen. totally astral shredfest version that sees thru the stars to new rays of continuums of perceiving meaning.
