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

Totally catches fire. This long jazzy DS cut is elegant and gorgeous. Winter 73 bliss 'n' glory. Notable for the sensitive, pristine WRS before and a blanketed, heavy swooshie Eyesie succeeding.

Winterland Arena

Hey phigment, the 80's and Brent is when "Cassidy" started getting pretty improvisational. I can't pull a specific version out of my ass but head to those late decades.
