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

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.

Uncle John's Band

Augusta Civic Center

A found paradise of a mammoth '84 UJB, replete with D minor hellfire. Shining armor, stallions are gliding into some snow-trodden insanity
Don't Need Love

Brent Mydland, keyboard wizard and vocal titan.
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
Oct. 12, 1984
Augusta Civic Center

Surging, clarion version of one of their best post-70's songs, a towering obelisk of swirly song.
Cold Rain and Snow

Augusta Civic Center

Great cold rain. Just majestic, perfectly pressing in all the right places in my sonic field. Jer's voice, and everyone in general sounds great in this show. People are saying it's shot/hoarse, which is true, but the force and inflection definitely make up for this, he's putting it out there tonight in Augusta maine, 84.

Inspired, lean and mean. Burning 80's cumberland. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orRS84sOFPE
