Cameron Indoor Stadium

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.

Big River

Wembley Arena

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

Tactile, awesome
Playin' In The Band
June 10, 1973
RFK Stadium

classical GD from an early ballpark show. along with the birdsong, this PITB just lilts with a pillow-y touch, very nice music. Gets crackling and gooey, beckoning the subconscious softly.
Playin' In The Band
April 2, 1973
Boston Garden

Trancy spritely version,seminal 1 drummer years flow and groove. Economical but powerfully rewarding.
Dark Star
Sept. 10, 1972
Hollywood Palladium

What an incredible dark star this is... roils, contorts, leers, soothes, funkifies, space, does all of this with an exquisite sense of melodic voicing for half an hour then goes into an excellent sing me back home. Two weeks after veneta and it's got boatloads of that 72 magic. Must hear.
