this one is a gimme for Hornsby's jumpstart chops which makes for a devastating affair with jer and the guys lockin' in.

Shoreline Amphitheatre

Laconic and textural, devils hang loose. Chasms of endless spirals of blank fear only to be boingy wackjob cyberjazz, menacing, for OG 90's heads

Shoreline Amphitheatre

High spirited and activated septet playing. Lengthy tonal solo and manic 7/4 takeoff

Blazing steamroller, Hornsby, flutterbird PITB. Elegant, direct, emblematic of the late style.

Morning Dew
Nov. 22, 1985
Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center

special delivery drums>space>dew deluxe, extra sauce. Phenomenal stuff from mickey and bralove/jerry/weir takes on spectacular lyrical beauty. The Dew is bombed out and demented, leans into the ravaged side of it. scrawling breakup poems by a demolition site, filthy industrial brine clogging your lifeways leading you to take solace in the abyss of an infinite unknown keeeping you at arm's length from love.
Eyes Of The World

Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center

Phil has to conduct the devils to get them ready for this tsunami of nasty rippling autobahn eyes, pastry's cooked just in time for Tiger to finish the manuscript and the whole brew to write the human translation in real time. cosmic theatre.
Let It Grow

Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center

serious one. Frenzied and chaotic. Everest invoking depths of buildup and release. Resplendent with wacky midi and interjections of different rhythmic possibilites.

hits it. Glimmering noir canal reflections of swimming mercury tones

chiming textures and dizzying geography. Best NFA i've heard in a hot second.
