Drums

Cameron Indoor Stadium

Can't believe I'm submitting this. Long and fun drum circle that's notable because our Jer Bear whips out a steel pan and joins in.

It Must Have Been The Roses
Oct. 31, 1990
Wembley Arena

Jerry tearing the standards book asunder with this elegant poetic brilliance

Big River

Wembley Arena

For a few minutes wembley in '90 becomes the fillmore in the summer of 1970, the way the Dead just slide into a no-nonsense Big River. Shivers

Wembley Arena

Smokin' and refined version of this deep cut, on "All Hallow's Eve" as a chap might say

Uncle John's Band
Oct. 12, 1984
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
Oct. 12, 1984
Augusta Civic Center

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
Oct. 12, 1984
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.
Cumberland Blues

Augusta Civic Center

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