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.

Berkeley Community Theater

thanks for sharing that story - I vaguely remember hearing about this when it happened from my bay area buds but never heard this particular show.... wow heavy and interesting to read the comments on archive. Jerry throwing out the Dew is awesome -but what really blew me away was the HARSH'rs on the comment board. Defo makes me sad - no need to be around THAT in Chicago if they show up.
