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.

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

Stella Blue
March 20, 1977
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
March 20, 1977
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
March 20, 1977
Winterland Arena

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

Promised Land
March 20, 1977
Winterland Arena

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