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.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

is this a sleeper pick for the best one of all time? Could be. This crystal-clear scarlet is the kind of thing that can put millions of deadheads all over the globe into a happy trance instantly. But the kicker in this 77 pairing is a broad, expansive fire on the mountain that's punchy fusiony and chill, the vibe on this fire on the mountain basically invents the jam band genre. I love the Donna years. Her ethereal jamming on the transitions and Keith's whimsical ravings, Phil's grenades, filling in the gooey guitar and drums tracks. All cannons.
