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

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.

its a show like this from "Terrapin Station" tour that makes me wish Donna had better monitoring or in-ear, something, to keep up with everyone else in turms of amplification. This is a really nice building type of thing, pretty stuff in 77.

Wow, 16 votes. Stellar and skyrocketing prime 77. Gotta love the vibe of that Betty Board also.
Big Railroad Blues

The Spectrum

Probably my favorite one of these, menacingly burnin'. 36 is really one of my favorite Dick's Picks, the Spectrum is always a special spot, and you can't go wrong with these 72 selections, there are many ridiculously great versions on this album. Worth multiple listens.
