Uncle John's Band

The Spectrum

Easy breezy with the glinty afterglare of yore. Drifty transition to boot. Nice twilight septet memory making.

Deal

The Spectrum

Hard hat 92, bluegrass plinky. Alchemical goop-laden improv. bluesy panache.

touching simplicity of row bridges the bullet-train nowness of this ripping bizarre banger. Post-capitalist freako jazz hair metal..

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 9, 1981
Activity Center - University of Colorado

Leering dominant transition, deeply aromatically brewing and beckoning thee to levitate. Chonky blissful magicks.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Dec. 9, 1981
Activity Center - University of Colorado

Septum-demolishing amounts of energy on a perfect Cassidy>LLR>china rider. Combines the party time crunchiness of the 80s with a cavernous sense of world building unique to the era. Overall just a screamer, huge version with mind splitting phil and fanning thru the roof
Looks Like Rain
Dec. 9, 1981
Activity Center - University of Colorado

double dose of wistful bob in the thick of it at boulder. Flagrantly bad boy tempo and theatrics, Hissing version with fanning all 'round, sermonic coda with rap-esque punch. Deep weir mythos.
Cassidy
Dec. 9, 1981
Activity Center - University of Colorado

Speedy intuitive and gliding coaster of spotless parkside endless cliffs and spheres of airy balance. Biking toward oblivion and whole crew is locked in.
Candyman
Dec. 9, 1981
Activity Center - University of Colorado

Rollicking, "zigzagging" as sleuth put the bird. Just a really awesome take here. Having played candyman 100 times from 78-83 its a hot pocket.
