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

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

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.

perfect TJ. Jerry's vocal is aggressive and growly, his solo is totally ripping, Keith sounds amazing also. Not to be missed

just sit back and let this take you away. Phenomenal version, one of the all time best. they were definitely on in a cosmological way. One of those mammoth versions that just leaves you with this "what just happened????" feeling.

Wow. Is there anything this show doesn't have? Jesus... Terrapin>PITB>UJB>Drums>Wheel>China Doll>Playing reprise..... That just speaks for itself right there. The harmonies on this uncle john, mickey's cowbell, Jerry's angelic soloing, the rage and might of the jam section, it's all just impeccable.... chefs kiss version

What a stellar version of this. Veneta is more jammed out i would say but this "BAM" will knock you over. The way Lesh plays that bass just kills me..... a master.
