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.

PEWWWW a face-melter. Holy smokes, that was an amazing stand-alone 70's LIG that had this crowd in the palm of a particularly mischievous and volcanic Dead's hand. A riotous version essential for "face-spacing"

Here Comes Sunshine
Nov. 30, 1973
Boston Music Hall

Don't sleep on this loping, winding version. Lots to say about Here Comes Sunshine, which has a version that basically made Dick Latvala start Dick's Picks, see Tampa 73. I'd venture to say this jam comes close to that take
