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

Drums -> Space

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.

Crystalline. gossamer and light, tremendous 77 chinadoll, late show placements work v well with the stew, make it all airy, goopy
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Nov. 1, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

amazing music, it's got that early 80's vibe in spades and they're having the time of their life on it. Slick and shiny, riotous and rambunctious, this is face-stealing!

glistening watercolor guitars. One of those shaking in ecstatic catharsis Dews... oh yes more pleas.

Horton Field House - Illinois State University

holy cow they really go for it on the transition jam... Unhinged organic and beautiful, lesh starts fire on the mountain a minute or too two soon... vocals are crispy too... It's a super tight and energetic rendition of this pairing, yes indeed! Dude420, your comment is right on the money, Garcia going into really challenging territory all throughout this, Devils' graceful flexibility providing the necessary paperwork.
