Five star drums into the spherical laser color cavern of delicate chamber electronic improv, magnetic madness

Spectacularly drunken entrance to this lean mean blue hot 93 Truckin with plenty of chonky chaw! Five alarm version, stellar concert.

Latter day gem that might be a surrogate memory of peter gabriel solsbury hill. Phil sings and jerry comes alive. sophisticated, breezy, and killing.

another moment at the end of a show when Jer as if on a pulpit, takes command of the thematic drive of the evening, driving us to reflect on our grievances and perhaps acheive transcendance. We've had a real fun time so far, but now that we look deeper into ourselves we can take something away from it that will last a lifetime.

wonderful prelude and part 1, makes me want to huddle around a fire with some kombucha and do healing rituals, then let it grow snaps into some serious improvisational pyrotechnics... like funky troubadour savants, blow was definitely involved in the way this LIG>Spanish snaps and crackles, pouring oil on the cogs and gears, getting everything ready to be surmised in sheer sunlight. The wah phil segment is godly as well as the avant breakdown, a necessary reminder of the trappings of security of happy birdie wicker song. Trapping ghouls and eels may ensnare your hearing. magic summer 74 set that shows maybe their most sprawling iteration of rock other than 69.
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)

a flutter of Steely dan-esque fermata precedes this firecracker uncle sam, makes me want to bike from new york to miami in assless chaps surviving on handrolleds and dewar's. You know? Idk, but it's got that glammy hard blues rock vibe of the 70's like the stones, clapton etc!
