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

Drums -> Space

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

Uncle John's Band

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.

Dancin' in the Streets

beautiful, exemplary Disco dancing, Jerrt going the distance once again, his crazy fingers getting a workout at this freaking awesome show that was memorialized, some of it anyhow, on DP29.
Ramble On Rose

Fox Theatre

One of the best ones ever, dizzyingly powerful solo and all the vocals as well. something about this version is addicting like a tooth worm too! // 3rd time ive come back to edit this just to say, if there's a better Ramble idk it. the solo is simply jerry at his finest, that moan at 5:42 is haunting and the last build up and verse is like a gust of arctic sun
