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.

Jerry flips on his welding mask for this jam session...Bob's playing is on point here and his scream at the end is nicely placed cause Jer's vox is burnt. HQ aud here!

love this version and watching them all sing together in the video on youtube is special ...Bob look like he egged Jer on for 1 more repeat of the final line but Jer nixed it...sweet memories on this one here.
