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

Drums -> Space

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.

I just had to listen to this three times in a row - every decision made by the guys in this version feels like a tantric alignment. Top form in terms of the song itself, and just all the playing and vocals. It's icy and dreamy

Just awesome, Jer is on the edge, and there's something so odd but perfect about crazy fingers. The playing seriously goes the distance too.
