this one is a gimme for Hornsby's jumpstart chops which makes for a devastating affair with jer and the guys lockin' in.

Shoreline Amphitheatre

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

Uncle John's Band

Shoreline Amphitheatre

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.

Stella Blue

Winterland Arena

magical stella with some absolutely fantastic dual lead work from jg and bw at the end. No one does a ballad like these guys
The Other One

Winterland Arena

So underrated. I just love 77, through and through and through. Stephen-esque spaciness looms throughout this mammoth version of the other one, especially in the lysergic second half.
St. Stephen

Winterland Arena

What a treat this St. Stephen, cruisin' down a sunny highway at calm speed, smelling the roses all the while. '77 goodness.

Spilled water on my computer last night while this was playing, cursed version (it's fine now, the dead gods are smiling on me)
