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

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.

Whoa. yummy, gorgeously filling version of Iko Iko, everyone is really feeling the slower groove and the results are kind of explosive. This show is one for the books

Wow, meaty sandwich gift of a speedy, multi-armed beast of an 82 Eyesie.
Morning Dew

Augusta Civic Center

Stuff of legend, the guys galvanized by Jerry's hair-raising sermonic power started to arise to the nethers. You find that morning dew is more or less the Dead's "curtain call" song when they want to really drive the set into an ecstatic fever pitch. Jerry's "flutterbird" tremolo distortion tone approaches or approximates the circumference of the sun and neighboring intellectual planets. this is a perfect show
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance

John Perry Barlow was a character, and boyhowdy he could take you into a vortex of whatever humanistic subject he chose, crafting epic rat's mazes of things. This is a great nautical and religious voyage, punctuated by the strongest fusion influence yet on Weir's chords, signs of Mccoy Tyner and Bill Evans.
