Shoreline Amphitheatre

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
May 11, 1991
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
May 11, 1991
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.

Hell yeah, poker-hot and habanero chili burning stuff, crowds brains must have been on the ground hearing basically the whole unreleased terrapin album (incl dancin', later on)
Playin' In The Band

Winterland Arena

Wondrously blissed out jazzy plane ride halfhour sandwich with Samson. All the playing contained in these flying passages is just seminal gd. 10/10 pitb
Terrapin Station

Winterland Arena
