Shoreline Amphitheatre

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

Drums -> Space
May 11, 1991
Shoreline Amphitheatre

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

Uncle John's Band

Shoreline Amphitheatre

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.

Dark Star
Feb. 14, 1970
Fillmore East

"there's nothing stranger than coming to New York", Garcia intones before counting off this wack job dark star. Post-verse jam is pretty mind blowingly reductionist, you can hear the pin-drop silence of fillmore east at several points. This is a version thats totally on the fringes. Then they come roaring back, Weir masterclass. Unique version for sure, one to add to your list! Gets overshadowed by the fireworks of 2/13 but this one is freakier
