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.

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

does this tour ever miss?!?!... whisked to perfection, the ways they can anticipate each other rhythmically in this very "together" founding fathers lineup is always breathtaking! Top gun maverick midi, Lesh goes hendrix at the peak(s!!) he always loves that hard rock caveman stuff

... Wow dude. :-0 let me slap my vpn on (so as to dissuade the CIA agents who will suck me in for speaking ill of their pretend cornell show) but maybe this and at least a couple of the Passaic NJ shows, the buffalo and boston set 2's are more my speed, go furthur still... Exhibit A this 3min Jerry solo sermon... before a truly propulsive buffet Wharf a la the 6/8 and 10/7 ragers. Firestorm
