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.

The Other One
March 24, 1971
Winterland Arena

Good '71 medicine here. One of my favorite years for just how dangerous they...feel. The cosmic voyages within this year appeal to me more than many of the later years. Check 11.14 and the ride into MAMU - yeehaw.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
April 26, 1972
Jahrhunderthalle

With almost a ‘50’s vibe happening at certain points this one is soooo tasty and satisfying with Jerry in the zone.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

Albuquerque Civic Auditorium

One of those versions where the whole band goes fully HAM together- energy abounds. Tks DS - we have similar taste. And yeah, that silde back into NFA is special.
Ramble On Rose
Nov. 17, 1971
Albuquerque Civic Auditorium

House band at the Ok Corral right here - and an encore verison! Jerry is hollerin' and FEELIN' it....great Keith showcase. I came for the GDTRFB (why? cause it's dirrrty good) and stayed for the Rose. Not nearly one of my fav tunes ( I much prefer BEW) but this version cannot be denied.

William and Mary College Hall

ummmm this is NOT one of those Bertha's where Jerry's running for his life in and out of danger - this is Jerry and his band skipping through the sunlight laughing in the sunshine oh my....
