You know the crew is feeling spritely and in a cowboy mood when they play this, blessed frequently in '89 with it.

Pigpen cut revived for the 90's with the group in kind of a slow crawling king snake vibe. Vince knows how to lay down some organ. Top late form.

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
