this one is a gimme for Hornsby's jumpstart chops which makes for a devastating affair with jer and the guys lockin' in.

Laconic and textural, devils hang loose. Chasms of endless spirals of blank fear only to be boingy wackjob cyberjazz, menacing, for OG 90's heads

High spirited and activated septet playing. Lengthy tonal solo and manic 7/4 takeoff

Blazing steamroller, Hornsby, flutterbird PITB. Elegant, direct, emblematic of the late style.

Wow.... major LLR with cresting, soaring Jerry leads and a warm, resonant Weir lead vocal. donna's soft voice before the final build is absolutely beautiful. We rarely get to hear it.

awesome late ship. Chugging, clear, and resourceful.

Slightly mystified as to why this is top 5, seeing as the solo does not reach the soaring peaks of two nights prior, or of Duke 1978, to name two examples
