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.

classical GD from an early ballpark show. along with the birdsong, this PITB just lilts with a pillow-y touch, very nice music. Gets crackling and gooey, beckoning the subconscious softly.
Playin' In The Band

Boston Garden

Trancy spritely version,seminal 1 drummer years flow and groove. Economical but powerfully rewarding.
Dark Star
Sept. 10, 1972
Hollywood Palladium

What an incredible dark star this is... roils, contorts, leers, soothes, funkifies, space, does all of this with an exquisite sense of melodic voicing for half an hour then goes into an excellent sing me back home. Two weeks after veneta and it's got boatloads of that 72 magic. Must hear.
