Whopping late '77 version of this, the Dead intuitively coasting the waves of the atmosphere's collective imagination.

Uncle John's Band

Augusta Civic Center

A found paradise of a mammoth '84 UJB, replete with D minor hellfire. Shining armor, stallions are gliding into some snow-trodden insanity
Don't Need Love

Augusta Civic Center

Brent Mydland, keyboard wizard and vocal titan.
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance

Augusta Civic Center

Surging, clarion version of one of their best post-70's songs, a towering obelisk of swirly song.
Cold Rain and Snow

Augusta Civic Center

Great cold rain. Just majestic, perfectly pressing in all the right places in my sonic field. Jer's voice, and everyone in general sounds great in this show. People are saying it's shot/hoarse, which is true, but the force and inflection definitely make up for this, he's putting it out there tonight in Augusta maine, 84.
Cumberland Blues

Augusta Civic Center

Inspired, lean and mean. Burning 80's cumberland. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orRS84sOFPE
