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

The Spectrum

Rather heady, well-oiled selection. specially the spectrum is a spectral spot for the crew to bust out a "14th album" cut as it were. i'll take it over some of them... lyrics kind of in the tradition of his beloved willie dixon, drenched in midi and trancey bliss.

The Spectrum

Luxuriant, elevated, seminal. generously restorative, invigorating. Bruce, a whole lot of tornado blow ups and fallback. the disco of the gods....

Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again
Oct. 9, 1989
Hampton Coliseum

pitch perfect, heady screaming and religious fervor on this fanatically great swooper of chonky drawbar and phillin' up the holes in the aged swiss texture of a resplendently punky twinkly folkie tribute.
