Can't believe I'm submitting this. Long and fun drum circle that's notable because our Jer Bear whips out a steel pan and joins in.

For a few minutes wembley in '90 becomes the fillmore in the summer of 1970, the way the Dead just slide into a no-nonsense Big River. Shivers

Truckin'
Nov. 1, 1977
Cobo Arena

my favorite truckin' up there with the 5/19/74 one. Three trucksplosions, the first one is technically botched at the climax but jerry insistingly, reassuringly leads them into going back for a second, even more crescendoing time, as if to remind us of what the group is capable of, still louder, and they land it, the impact bracing for miles around the perimeter of this nuclear trucksplosion', followed by a third trucksplosion with a minor modal jam (something. beethoven or the Romantic orchestrals of the time would have put) into improv

heady Jerry hitting low vocal notes in this habanero 4/20 cumberland
