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

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.

Thompson Arena - Dartmouth College

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

Fast, bluegrassy and fast - They only did this a couple times I think - there's a good one from the West Coast (Greek maybe) and I was hoping for a Fire this night and they served LLR - hrumph. PS the LLR in all honesty was not a bad one.... Bobby in the Spectrum with the ECHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.....

One of the first or the FIRST? Touches after Jerry's tooth debacle in '86....You really had to be there to understand what this one's about - MAJOR REAFFIRMATION.....for Jerry, the Band and the whole scene. I remember it well. Hey Lexa!
