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

gorgeous cresting version, Jerry finding the labyrinthine mazes of caves in and around notes in hummingbird swoops

He's Gone
Oct. 28, 1977
Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Hall

great call, this seems like a major version- 77 is of course the heyday of slow he's gone and this one passes with honors. Betty board is translucent honey. This version is a fearful beggar experiencing disregulation of identity- devils find the spot in the downbeat completely free of anticipation, Phil 'n' Bob jigsaws aligning. Great coda and sprawling dark jam to follow.

absolute face melter of a version, cauldron stirring
Stella Blue

fantastic Stella>Franklins. Jerry's not ready to quit and the boys get the hint.

firey versh. Devils really locking in this first set, Phil is out of control per the norm for 84/85, goes into a nice music never stopped.
