Easy breezy with the glinty afterglare of yore. Drifty transition to boot. Nice twilight septet memory making.

Hard hat 92, bluegrass plinky. Alchemical goop-laden improv. bluesy panache.

touching simplicity of row bridges the bullet-train nowness of this ripping bizarre banger. Post-capitalist freako jazz hair metal..

Not Fade Away

The Austin Municipal Auditorium

God damn they sound amazing.... I do prefer the late 70's for NFA but god damn this one earns my respect big time. The china cat weaving and that amazing jam before GDTRFB are a prime showcase of Dead creativity and interplay. They get super out of control on this version, and yet they intersperse the firestorm with the most gorgeous soft passages, it's truly a must hear.

cresting and rippling version, fucking stellar. Jerry's solo is just heartbreaking
