Boston Garden

another spicy jambalaya rendering from this configuration. Tight and loose simultaneously with excellently intuitive coasting byway jamming.

Gimme Some Lovin'

barrels in and kicks ass. Definitely some first show of the year magic on this. Revives the blues/soul energy of set 1 to leave us smilin' and dancin

Thrilling and ominous. gets totally cranial, still retaining the pitb main ten for the duration. Excellent tonal space.

loose kinetic cannonball energy and more fluid acrobatic bluesy group playing deserve another shout out tonite!

Attics of My Life

Meadowlands Arena

Crazy show, capping off a night filled with references to stuff the older generation of heads must have had their jaws agape at this tender Attics

Couldn't agree more. This is phenomenal. Completely subsuming the self into the pure aural quality of acoustical experience. notable for seguing into the obscure, but heartfelt Mydland missive to his daughter "I will take you home", the outright sincerity of which is more than slightly unsettling coming out of a positively nutty free jazz Midi space. Nonetheless it's an endearing track.
Playin' In The Band

You'll be seeing stars on this DS -> PITB, both are razor-sharp and positively brimming with raw virtuosity! Autumn '89, the Brent years are at a peak here, and the PITB "big 10" theme is majestically, subtly returning again and again throughout a luminous 2nd set
Uncle John's Band

This whole show is exceptional. Gotta love the rest of the band following Jerry's structural lyric flubs - Hunter never made following his words easy, fwiw!! :-D But anyway, sparkling lush UJB with powerful battering-ram energy into high-spirited improvisation

Yet another rager of an 89 Deal! Super strong
