Can't believe I'm submitting this. Long and fun drum circle that's notable because our Jer Bear whips out a steel pan and joins in.

Big River

Wembley Arena

For a few minutes wembley in '90 becomes the fillmore in the summer of 1970, the way the Dead just slide into a no-nonsense Big River. Shivers

Smokin' and refined version of this deep cut, on "All Hallow's Eve" as a chap might say

Wharf Rat
July 8, 1978
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

definitive 3.0 this chunky and jazzy Wharf. deranged shooting star snarler jog through dive bars
Loser
March 28, 1973
Civic Center

Slaying. Phil bombs. Throat-slicing intensity on the chorus. And the solo is flaming. Perfect early loser
Cumberland Blues
April 8, 1972
Wembley Empire Pool

the live LP version, from my birthday show. Seminal for this era. you can blast this and just explode into country-fusion craziness!! Quite the version.
Here Comes Sunshine
March 28, 1973
Civic Center

Clean, lean, pristine. Chomp on the radiation, the alignment, of this.
Cumberland Blues
March 28, 1973
Civic Center

We're back in 1973 now, opening the night with a heady Cumberland. Quality is pretty shitty for some reason as others have noted but come on, hot version!!!!!
