The Devils dabble their paintbrushes of wonderment in what could be "Tribal ambient" esque textures. And space is formidable. Clarion 89 versh.

He's Gone
June 10, 1973
RFK Stadium

weir is exquisite on this. And show me a vocal coda that gets more minimalist than this.... bennybenhead, you can add 12/2/73 out of pitb to the list, another stellar 73 he's gone. This might be The Year for he's gone, indeed.
Brokedown Palace
June 8, 1977
Winterland Arena

achingly beautiful. Perfect version that gives 9/27/72 a run for its money.
Franklin's Tower

Starlight Theatre

they mean business on this one
All Along the Watchtower

Rich Stadium

Wow, great pick, gr8fulterrapin. Holy moly they sound amazing.... the look on Hart's face says it all.... Garcia's guitar playing is just exploding with raw desparation, he's playing like a man on the edge fighting for his life.... 1989 was truly an incredible year for the group, one of their best.

Dope version with Brent fanning. Instagram heads need to check out @chestnutsfromthearchive, a self-described "tour hound from 77-95" who uploads great recommendations with his listening notes. He probably has a heady version account
