I Need A Miracle

Deer Creek Music Center

6 tracks pre-drums, a set chock full of patient, far-reaching playing. This is a perfect party time palate cleanser, searing.

Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again

Deer Creek Music Center

A version that earns the submission. Inspired and filled out. Night prior is hot and the Deer Creek magic reigns.

Excellent generously stately and tumultuous intro. Laid back. Nice melt to black peter.

this is a golden stretch in terms of style and form for GD. Deep and thickly bright sprinting jam

Wharf Rat
Oct. 7, 1977
University of New Mexico

Critical consensus for 77 often points to this year as being a concise song-driven melee of easygoing funk-rock textures. The whole story is more complicated and on certain gigs you'll get a Terrapin->playin->drums->iko iko->the wheel->wharf rat->sugar mag that gets as out there as any jamming they did. Particularly wheel and wharf are crazy, though. This version is probed straight from another deranged cranium to ours, the accompaniment accentuating the freakish paranoia and backing it up all the way. Both wheel and wharf geniusly dissolve into frantic, roaming improvisation. Clean and rocket sharp 77, but also jazzy af.

heady round 'n' round closer after a navel-gazing, psychedelically expansive reading of "Wharf Rat" - prankster move to head to Chuck Berry. The "round 'n' round thing" that is in conversation with "The Wheel"!!!!!!
