This one's got it!!! Great, as far as post-pigpen goes... Supported by diehard bobby energy and robustly happy mid 80's glide.

Crowd congeals on this one. Unstoppably creative phil, they go deep into the caverns of cosmic deaad, colombian antics and deluxe goodz.

Drums

Super heady and glorious drums. I love the Mahavishnu Orchestra, and fusion Miles (in addition to all eras). It's a wonderful delight to have Billy Cobham on this version. I fucking love the Grateful Dead but comparing Cobham to either Kreutzmann or Hart is like comparing Picasso to talented art school students. Both have a toolbox, just a different approachEven so, the drum solo is just as powerful and locked in as some of their really "On" 80's ones. I would say that greatness recognizes greatness all around. Great musicians work together to make something bigger than the sum of the parts.
