feels good to get lost in a good fluid jed, the light at end of the tunnellin' jokester's mountain. Barrelhouse vince, weir and lesh and fire jer bear

Playin' In The Band
July 19, 1974
Selland Arena

this wall of sound PITB is like a column for the senses, a lightning rod for the rhythmic imagination of the group. There's plenty of wiggle room for lots of solo journeying. the brew starts boiling around the 10-minute mark and new landscapes emerge. Fractal lakes of goodness
Eyes Of The World

Dane County Coliseum

The 77 and adjacent period made many tracks untouchable in my eyes.

Damn impressive... red hot and they take the bus for miles. Devils are snappin, weir is eulogizing the bygone prankster freeloader character with some snark. What a second solo... glassy eyed
Truckin'

Uni Dome, U of Northern Iowa

jamming is top knotch out of scarlet fire and into Drums>TO1>wharf. Great stuff here, the Truckin song while a placeholder in some senses was also often a key element of set 2 jamming that was extremely flexible for the group. Offers a lot. and DP18 is just such a great release, these shows are stellar
