Brown Eyed Women

Spartan Stadium - San Jose State University

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

Mexicali Blues
April 6, 1982
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.

Wharf Rat
June 21, 1971
Chateau d'Herouville

awesome DS watching the Dew now! Tks brother! Ps. All the years have their special color - for me '71 is like a miner's cut of a diamond. Billy unleashed and the band still energetically dangerous.

This one is heavenly - WOW.

'71 Rats are a bit like '69 Dews - sometimes ruff but mostly soulful and raw. And once you get a taste for them they're sure hard to ignore. This one's a fine example of just what they heck I'm ramblin' on about.
It's All Over Now Baby Blue
Sept. 11, 1982
West Palm Beach Auditorium

Oooohhhhh this one has that sumpthin' special for sure easy +1.. My personal fav is 4.19.84 JG's a lil more burned out and there's more fuzz everywhere with Bobby whammy work but it still slowburns emotionally hot like this one here. Check the Miller/sbd for full efffect.
