Flaming smoker, snug like fav jeans washed. Magisterial bruce, mystically ascendant feelings. Hot nite

Far out Eyes>Picasso>Fingers>Saint... tremendous group effort. Flying colors, this version is wow. Painterly seeping aged beauties, glorious texture

Mile High Stadium

insistent and hard edged, and paradoxically, pillowy with the 2-keyboard whammy. Every bust out is special

Uncle John's Band
March 24, 1990
Knickerbocker Arena

Spring 90 magic. Pitb is totally solid. Unfocused but jazzy and energized. Brent is trying to get weird with it but the others don't follow him. A stellar Uncle John's Band follows, pitch perfect and generous.
One More Saturday Night

Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
May 22, 1977
The Sportatorium

uber killing version. Vocal harmonies are so crispy in this whole show, as many have noted before, it doesn't get better than Spring 77 for Dead vocals. (and maybe just in general too) Jerry's soloing can really do no wrong on this show. Sugaree and franklin's tower are simply masterclasses and it continues on this Supplication, it's fast furious and clear, yet always melodic and never over-playing to the point where it's not musically rich anymore. Every note is played with utmost purpose and conviction. The build, like in all the best LL->S's, is quite something
