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

Playin' In The Band

massively underrated. Sound quality is stunning on Charlie Miller's transfer. simmers for a while in jungle fusion land, the four-limbed beast going strong. Keith's Moog is totally wack job. Goes into some Spanish Jam esque stuff. this is for sure an overlooked PITB that shows that the tune still had some mileage after the one-drummer years.
