Shoreline Amphitheatre

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
May 11, 1991
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

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.

The Other One
Sept. 18, 1990
Madison Square Garden

You should all be arrested for not listening to and upvoting this lesh-tastic version. the Dead are casting their spell on madison square garden on this legendary run of gigs and tonight is no exception. Locked in and nasty. Vince Welnick is clearly earning his stripes here. sometimes he chronically overplays but here his synth textures are exceptionally tasteful and they really add a lot of drama to what's going on in this version, which is mostly Jerry and Phil tearing their instruments to shreds. The devils are also right there. there is also a great loser, a heartbreaking to lay me down, a ripping promised land and an epic Eyesie on this show by the way.
