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

Wharf Rat
May 27, 1993
Cal Expo

Unstoppable twilight wharf. coming out of a TO1 that grifts across the time space continuum from downright wacky to tiger, this gargantuan Wharf matches the promise and takes the title fight beast mode that the Dead provide on this late-set standby torcher to the next level, underrated gem that u need to hop on. Delivery is impeccable then coda jam is type 2 headed serpent, love and hate, darkness and light. Sea parting shit. This whole cal expo run is epic.

after a casually heady FOTM and searing wave on the wind set the pace, we get into mid-to-late set sorcery by sandwiching a techno warrior hard-hitting angel soaring UJB between a skipped rock in a forgotten daydream in a merry prankster's path of Cassidy with plenty of improv
