Tender, soothing, perfect. Brimming with firecracker... jerry rips a mean fret-flyer or two

down to business in the mines of emotion. Tight and incredible. A gem of a intuitive version with lots of rootsy charisma and swingin' euphoria..

Stella Blue
Oct. 1, 1994
Boston Garden

fast, exploratory and plinky plonky this one is a knockout becoming of the twilight years. Goes to show that with tunes with many repeats like any of the deads standards they're chasing a universal ideal feeling, sort of like Plato and his boys feeding her grapes were pontificating on at the studio in the suburbs of yonkers. Crackling feeling which adds a bolstery jazzy sophistication to the wispy heartbroken absence of some of the dirgey stella highlights. this one just snaps and majestically soars through cresting valleys of dynamically drastically proportional emotion corresponding to the peaks and valleys within the lines of their infinitely symphonic notes. jerry and hunter live on...

comfy laser beam perfection, picture frame tornado help slip frank. confident and strutting slick delivery with keen shining soaring cresting jamming akimbo and moth bondages shattered into remnants of gooey honeysucked peaces. Franklins is invigorated, spiritual, cleansing and satisfyingly circular. the faster we go the rounder we get

bit of a sleeper tune for me that has earned my respect as one of the dead's best late set whoppers on par with Wheel, NFA, Dew and stella. jer's delivery is incomparably sickness
