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.

Thompson Arena - Dartmouth College

Playfully different melody here really cool Jer is sporting very catchy phrasing - mid tempo no hurry super chill with highlights.

Hampton Coliseum

A primo goto for seat of the pants jamming and "almost" over the cliff peaking - If you like TOG's - this one RIPS and is as good as it gets. Hartford is more strummy in general and this is way more jammy/picking imho. Both are great but there's something in the tempo here and Brent is right there with Jer on this night.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 21, 1983
Worcester Centrum

I'm partial to 83's Scar>Fires with Philly 4/20 being my favorite of that year - I'll second that this one is for the ages - just freaking GREAT. Should be me much higher! +1
