Brown Eyed Women

Spartan Stadium - San Jose State University

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

Mexicali Blues
April 6, 1982
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.

Brutal in the best way TOO > CE Jam
Space
Sept. 18, 1974
Parc des Expositions

The Jerry Space is on the CM soundcheck. If you mistakenly listen to Seastones you are hearing the Devil's transmissions. Go ahead see for yourself.
Jack Straw

The Omni

And now for something completely different ...
He's Gone
Sept. 28, 1972
Stanley Theatre

See 11/22/72 for an even better take in the same vein.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 3, 1981
Dane County Coliseum

The first solo in Scarlet reminds me of 4/20/84 he just does not cut loose near as much on this take.... Still pretty damn fine and that hollow effect in Fire is the kill.
