Five star drums into the spherical laser color cavern of delicate chamber electronic improv, magnetic madness

Spectacularly drunken entrance to this lean mean blue hot 93 Truckin with plenty of chonky chaw! Five alarm version, stellar concert.

Latter day gem that might be a surrogate memory of peter gabriel solsbury hill. Phil sings and jerry comes alive. sophisticated, breezy, and killing.

China Doll

Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center

totally chilling, surely this is a major version for the era. Maybe gets lost in the sea of 80's california shows but truly epic stuff, the solo is bone crushing, melodramatically the hammers of the velvet curtains begin sighing in the rain as glamorous beauties fall in puddles of filthy trash soot. Epochal caves of space evoked by Garcia's throat ripped performance. Mind ripping performance that cuts to the core and plunges headfirst back into firecracker pitb.

full of generous juju, supremely chill mid80's rhodes and heavy phil vibe. Tunneling to icy bliss through the caves, more trains and buses assemble

breezy and super on, soaring Jer bear vocally and instrumentally, spritely and layered accompaniment, twinkly lush crescendoes and cresting arcing grandioh jams.
