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
Sept. 22, 1993
Madison Square Garden

right in line with the chromatic perfection of all the most extravagantly great 70s ramble solos, this one's pillowy 90's thing does indeed make it an impish, merry jester's hat of a cat in the hat fun version for the nyc peeeeps.... Boy works those lightning bolt FX

Throwing Stones
March 24, 1993
Dean Smith Center

hot version... lean mean savage takes off a la black throated wind and the rousing closing passage chugs like a battering ram. Succeeding the dizzying throng accompanied by stark lunar ravings of meaty tracks within a fine NFA which at moments spirals into ascendant hillbilly psych to close this spring show.
