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.

Already voted for this hahah and here's the video. I lived in CO during these years and this sure does bring back some great memories. Jerry's comment during a beatup Brokedown is worth the view. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TVqMMeq74c
