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.

HBD Mr. Kreutzman - this beaten still reverberates thru the ages. I imagine with a beak full of crank you gave the audience “the business.” Bravo!

If you seek the PEAK you found it right here with a taste of TOO in there this rises and drops like an anvil on the listener's head.

This Franklin's comes out blazing.. the Dusborne is the go-to for this show.

Whole band’s got that hillbilly fever on this number.
