another spicy jambalaya rendering from this configuration. Tight and loose simultaneously with excellently intuitive coasting byway jamming.

barrels in and kicks ass. Definitely some first show of the year magic on this. Revives the blues/soul energy of set 1 to leave us smilin' and dancin

not a perfunctory run-through, Texas charcoal-charred goods down and dirty on this one. psychedelic. has a wide open 77/78 embracing feel

all 80's candymen are dynamite. This one has a particularly funky undertone and adventurous comping. Thrilling peak at mr benson and the solo is immaculately poignant and weir keeps lacing it through and inspiring the others in his wake after.
