2 Drummer breakbeat attack with Phil throwing down the rope a dope and Jer firing darts - this one's lively.

The Spectrum

Admittedly not a favorite tune for me but this is super crispy - laconic delivery by Weir w/ Jer's picking and tone perfection. Whole show is massive.

Gem buried waaay down the list - Jer delivers a solo that feels like he just barely pulls a rabbit out of the hat ... works for me.

Yasssss - sweet and tangy.

Winterland Arena

Deliberate molasses baked treat...no hurry delivery with the seats tilted waay back, shades on, rolling along at 7mph. yes it 's that good.

Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Looks like I had already voted for this without comment. Just heard on Sirius and it kills...great dialed-in band mind meld.

About as close as I have ever heard the gang play Soul Sacrifice. Cool.
