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

Uncle John's Band

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.

Dead playing this in this year is like the beatles doing "all my loving" in 1964. It's a complete crystallization, and definition, of rock as art. Groovy and dirty mississippi and the ending jam ascends to the highest heavens

got a brilliant white-hot sheet of goosebumps at the opening notes of this. Yep, streaming platforms are the must for this show, no SBD source on archive. (i always try for a matrix) "Jerry's beatiful Fenario" version per a news clipping (http://www.gratefulseconds.com/2016/01/april-30-1977-my-only-dead-show-in-new.html) and it sure is lovely.... Solo is rousing. Verses are focused and elegant. F yeah
