Can't believe I'm submitting this. Long and fun drum circle that's notable because our Jer Bear whips out a steel pan and joins in.

For a few minutes wembley in '90 becomes the fillmore in the summer of 1970, the way the Dead just slide into a no-nonsense Big River. Shivers

Sitting way too low, this could be one of the best of the 90's. healthy wealthy and wise broad reaching improv with swirling seas of beauty and gets WAY out there!!! These years are so freaky. the uncle john's before it ain't a slouch either! Loved the introspectively anxious journey of this version.

Excellent pairing. Commanding. Creative, jumping and jolting, effortlessly tribal and heavy, elegant.
