Whopping marimba-laden, a hot, and wobbly excursion into '84 Space. Luxuriantly gorgeous though threatening.

Crystalline. gossamer and light, tremendous 77 chinadoll, late show placements work v well with the stew, make it all airy, goopy
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Nassau Coliseum

amazing music, it's got that early 80's vibe in spades and they're having the time of their life on it. Slick and shiny, riotous and rambunctious, this is face-stealing!

glistening watercolor guitars. One of those shaking in ecstatic catharsis Dews... oh yes more pleas.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Horton Field House - Illinois State University

holy cow they really go for it on the transition jam... Unhinged organic and beautiful, lesh starts fire on the mountain a minute or too two soon... vocals are crispy too... It's a super tight and energetic rendition of this pairing, yes indeed! Dude420, your comment is right on the money, Garcia going into really challenging territory all throughout this, Devils' graceful flexibility providing the necessary paperwork.
