So perfect, it's hard to believe that people could improvise music like this together. This amazing show deserves a clean-up!

Overlooked: Between one of this site's favorite HCSs and one of its favorite Dark Stars is a perfect, articulate, and virtuoso version of Big River.

Just outrageous. Problematic show b/c of mix and cuts in the source. Not here: just a blizzard of jam.

Show is overlooked b/c mix problems, but they're absolutely on fire and this version shreds like all get-out. Call C. Miller for this one please!

Could be massively heady, but Billy is so high in the mix that it's hard to follow others. Any cleaner versions out there? Has everything but the mix.

Furious shredding, blisteringly hot.

Slow building intense ride. Around 10th minute Jerry starts sounding like a room full of guitars jamming as one.

This is a great show. The band seems to be experimenting with so much, and the sound is really gentle, really "less is more". The Stephen>Jam seems so fragile in places, like gossamere or dancing fragments of memory, but constantly driving forward, too.

Really beautiful and long. Goes into a modal jam reminiscent of "Sketches of Spain" around 12:00.
