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

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.

For those who like to JAM - this totally SLAYS. Let's see interstellar space noodling, great Keith fill work, Donna in check, and then the march, then the fanning freakout! YES you want to hear this. Holy Moly good call.
