Antarctic expedition of an NFA. probing, menacing work from all, pummeling Tiger jams and fusiony growling, Mickey and phil blowing it all to shreds

In the ship slot. Tones are purring in delight, brent and devils laying it in with goopy dark acrylic authority. Sings w/resonance, deep spectral lite

Terrapin Station
June 16, 1990
Shoreline Amphitheatre

this version paints a Rembrandt of the infinity of matter. Seminal. At over 30 minutes before becoming space, it is a billionaire deluxe experience of groupthink cruising through galaxies with urgent authority. magical version. I am surprised that this doesn't come up every time when talking about the best. Stands with any version.

they get to work on this, really amazing
Dark Star
Sept. 10, 1991
Madison Square Garden

2nd dark star jam out of drumz, sounds like Weir is playing funky or almost RHCP style midi wrist work, while the Garcia/Marsalis/Hornsby conference glides into new extrasensory meltdowns. The most amazingly unhinged stuff.
It's All Over Now Baby Blue

Sandstone Amphitheatre

Sparse, quiet, brooding, sensitive version. exquisite comes a time melt.
