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.

Playfully different melody here really cool Jer is sporting very catchy phrasing - mid tempo no hurry super chill with highlights.

hahaa h- that Feelin Groovy tease is in there!! I love this one because PHIL is all the f@#$ over it! Dang!The switcheroo on the Rider verses is pretty cool. This one is great jamming - Jerry throws some great blues riffs down in the transition and PHIL just freaking owns both tunes to me.

Choice cut - Jerry worked it out this night and Phil represents nicely in the jam.
