more wall of sound goods.... Lesh Phd seminar on this, when he really dials in he totally shapes the profile, dynamically and rhythmically of whatever is happening in a given moment. This is a premium aged WRS to devour. Seagulling through time with the jones gang

the pearly meat of a "Playin uncle john's dew" that can stand with honor next to the 11/17/73 one. they totally knew that the wall of sound was their golden ticket to get fuckin greasy every single night ( this is the show of which Lesh spoke of hearing "the voice of god") and they bless the occasion with a bone-rattling dew couched in enough righteous forward thinking jams to get you rethinking your life choices, i mean this thing is borderline electronic music for its streamlined precision and crazy flow. Dorgive the figressions here we've got a deliciously tender and intimate performance that crawls through a minefield to inevitable devastation. They totally lose it
