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

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.

You know it's going to be a mammoth set when they cover a 12-minute, 1,000000 word dylan song in set 1. heady in the abstract sense, but it's driving and quite somethin'.

Really sparkling and lush. Its great stuff, shows the kind of rhythmic complexity of the Row Jimmy chord changes in a fast way. heady midi stuff

Some barrelhouse fun with bob. Some really cute moments with Jerry and Vince having some fun. Overall a tight rendition.
