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.

nice one - I like his tone on this over the '94 (while that is a powerful jam). I can't handle that later sound of lighting bolt (?) like he's playing with nylon strings.

Jerry was on fire for this and the Terrapin. His attack on the first jam is CRAZY and then he chills out for the build up on the 2nd jam - his tone and pacing are perfect to me on this one.... the slow building, explorative work by Phil and Jer's staccato play along with Bobby's rhythm work - they hit many tasty grooves on this before the CAR CRASH ending.
