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.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 20, 1984
Philadelphia Civic Center

honestly this how I like'em and don't understand how this isn't higher? I must admit I was not a midi fan in the later years ....sure jer's vox was a little rough these tours but dang pay attention to his jamming and you will see he knew it and was making up for it with his playing..... checkout my Dew recommendation from Hampton for another example...

Tons of fun and they show it - Jerry and Brent have great interplay and towards the end Phil throws out some thumpers :)

If you like this one check out 4/14/84 seriously! not as murky to my ears - but this one is great. Also if you are a DEW head check this MASTERCLASS version
