this one is a gimme for Hornsby's jumpstart chops which makes for a devastating affair with jer and the guys lockin' in.

Shoreline Amphitheatre

Laconic and textural, devils hang loose. Chasms of endless spirals of blank fear only to be boingy wackjob cyberjazz, menacing, for OG 90's heads

Uncle John's Band

Shoreline Amphitheatre

High spirited and activated septet playing. Lengthy tonal solo and manic 7/4 takeoff

Blazing steamroller, Hornsby, flutterbird PITB. Elegant, direct, emblematic of the late style.

Totally catches fire. This long jazzy DS cut is elegant and gorgeous. Winter 73 bliss 'n' glory. Notable for the sensitive, pristine WRS before and a blanketed, heavy swooshie Eyesie succeeding.

Hey phigment, the 80's and Brent is when "Cassidy" started getting pretty improvisational. I can't pull a specific version out of my ass but head to those late decades.
