Stella Blue
July 2, 1994
Shoreline Amphitheatre

Jerry lands on trumpet tone, icy keyboards with occasional distortion outbursts and glockenspiel afterglows seep in, glorious tonal colors like scriabin or debussy emerge as jerry aspires to the great cadenzas of european classical and folk vocal musics while curlicuing around this chilling perfect twilight stella. This sequence leaves you awash

Shoreline Amphitheatre

Fugitives madly race abandoning the elderly and young, screaming from yellow-eyed owl raptors in the night on lifeless desert planes. Neoclassical harmony meets impulsively daring brushstrokes into every hinted-at approach to temporal organization finally unleashed. Makes me wonder how many "floor-clearing" scenarios this sort of cosmic provocation happens at shows, just heard about onefor the 10/12/84 Augusta dew. Caped caper jerry and robin shows up with spicy italian futurist plinkazoid once you cant remember your name about to hop off the VW and check urself into the loony bin. 10/10

They played this as much in 93-94 as either decade before this and it shows, dynamite thematic progressions and freaky churning textures, continues big man's dynamite vocal and lead nite everyone gets luigi and guido pit stop for lightning mcqueen for the local heads. Thick craters of chaw tone
Eternity
July 2, 1994
Shoreline Amphitheatre

Passionate twinkly hymnal jed>eternity. Traverses the aesthetics of british indie synth sound design, southern rock, authentic rosetta stone chicago blues and late 50s cali jazz, what just happened? Sorcererly first set, thick fast fluid spires of lightning bolt lead work and theatricality, heart and winks abound. Other one jam pindrops into timeless willie dixon life manual musings
