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

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

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.

fantastic version - Swirling and bold, hivemind locked in, perfect balance of firey exclamation and tasty introspection.

check the date dude- explosive version that goes the distance, Wolf is howlin', two devils deviling and five golden rings, this one rules!

simply a monster version! grateful dead make rhythm their obedient subject all night, this wily sneaky version no exception. The group is thunderous and exploratory on EVERY song. what a night

love me my feedback nonsense but takes nothing away from this beautiful chill version, Keith and jerry rippling away into the night with archangels watching remorsefully from the rafters as we wave goodbye to winterland.

crux of a perfect show with 'beautiful jam' overtones, thunderous cathartic waves of inertia!
