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

Ramble On Rose
June 19, 1991
Pine Knob

magnificently kickin and emphatic, layered textures and hot weaving. Tailored for fans of the era's mega polished sound. Rhythmically delicious and perfect solo colored by midi trumpet. Nice vocal
Queen Jane Approximately
June 19, 1991
Pine Knob

crispy ethereal grace and karmically aligned energy. Are you here? Reminds me of lennon deriding harrison's "I me mine" at twickenham for being a spanish waltz, but then he hated everything.
New Minglewood Blues
June 19, 1991
Pine Knob

characteristically excellent, Phil strumming away maniacally masked in superhero cape, fabulous groove and chaw sandwich with habanero bread flow.
They Love Each Other
June 19, 1991
Pine Knob

Dynamite year for tleo, tune that blossomed in invigorating energy. Calling for broken ones. Jerry was like don't give vince the hammond sound so he rocks a plinky dink midi with grace typical of brent.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Sept. 14, 1991
Madison Square Garden
