Brown Eyed Women

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.

Of course Jerry but Phil and Billy for gosh sakes - listen to this under appreciated masterwork.
He's Gone

Austin Municipal Auditorium

Still woefully unheralded....
Truckin'

The Spectrum

Starting at the 5min mark Jerry proves he can play the guitar just like ringing a bell....killer Truckin’ and subsequent Jam>DS.
Turn On Your Love Light
Nov. 21, 1969
Cal Expo, Building A

Don't sweat the fade on the rap, it would be great to hear and I am sure the ending is killer but until that surfaces - if you like upfront, in your face aggressive Jerry in a Lovelight here ya go.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Nov. 21, 1969
Cal Expo, Building A

Transition to Rider is a psychedelic BANANAS beatdown.
