the feeling on this rich, blue-hot hornsby one is that of exquisite elegance in that puffed-up mindless sense

bill and mick dip their toes into a dozen things, keeping their turntablism abreast of the breathing tree of life. Sensational stuff. Continued

Strap on the goggles and microscopes to find traces of this in jerry's playing as soon as the intro dies down into a no nonsense sparkplug wheel

Comes A Time

Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center

this show needs votes. Twinkly and devastating comes a time, riotous jazzy other one. Chris hazard again.

jerry on a mission on this one
Not Fade Away
Sept. 12, 1981
Greek Theater

Fierce and expansive.
Feel Like A Stranger
Sept. 3, 1985
Starlight Theater

85 is always off the charts for imaginative last-ditch invention and razor-sharp tone accounting for new textures to be emerging with preternatural ease to guide even jukebox quality droning jams into an irresistably puzzling infinity.
Morning Dew

Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center

special delivery drums>space>dew deluxe, extra sauce. Phenomenal stuff from mickey and bralove/jerry/weir takes on spectacular lyrical beauty. The Dew is bombed out and demented, leans into the ravaged side of it. scrawling breakup poems by a demolition site, filthy industrial brine clogging your lifeways leading you to take solace in the abyss of an infinite unknown keeeping you at arm's length from love.
