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.

mega fabulous version with Jerry vocal fanning, very good and pleasant fall 73 vibe, with mighty backing force
Eyes Of The World

Kezar Stadium

Yes, yes, yes, times a million. Has that breezy, effortless quality in spades. Basically every time they play Eyes it's going to be amazing because I just love this tune, I'm obsessed with it. But even so, this is still a particularly fire version and maybe the highlight from a good show all around
