The Devils dabble their paintbrushes of wonderment in what could be "Tribal ambient" esque textures. And space is formidable. Clarion 89 versh.

Morning Dew
Oct. 12, 1984
Augusta Civic Center

back again for a show that I'd put with 7/19/89 as 80's shows i would put in my desert island choices. setlist exclusively bangs and explodes in this seminal nuclear storm morning dew. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FZg8dQBMa8 Oh to be on the bus in the mid-80's and be a part of this religious revival!!! Jerry spares no expense in exorcising us of evil spirits, imbuing our very musical consciousnesses with multi-dimensional goodness on this ascendant, thunderous version. Jerry is slumped over and looking rather ragged but this almost adds to his being entirely locked into some other-ly, yet always encouraging and inclusive, lead guitar zone. particularly the Jackaroe->All over now->Cumberland->TMNS set 1 heater demonstrates this quality of this 10/10 show. face-stealing full force, semantic words for the riveting, physical cycles of emotion Mornin' Dew brings somewhere within the layers of sound worlds emerging from the stacks.
