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

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

Just gave another listen to this absolutely incredible jazzy Playin', certainly in my top 5 of all time. Absolute must-listen. Put it on right now.

Fat, mean, jazzy outrageous Caution craziness. Essential for fans of 60's Dead, premium example of free psych!

Wow. Just wow. Exemplary poker-hot truckin', along with me and my uncle, showing these francophones what some root-tootin 12-gauge shootin' Good Ole Grateful is all about.
