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

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.

Phenomenal version, scary intro piercingly heavy angels. Everyone strapped in for type 2 feeling. Hits hard at the soul such as Burlington or Saratoga 83.

slow winner. clarion synth and delay textures, tunneled out garcia vocal. hits at the heart of their arena-borne sound, shows that the lineup with mydland had by now mastered the dimensions of their conventional size venues on tour. Resonant with sympathetic glee and virtuously gracing overtones into yer head feeding thru massive racks of solid state. Goes out quick tho
