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.

Can I get a witness? Jerry destroys this one with an extended aerial assault.

Alpine Valley

So in hearing this first solo I am like wow - Jerry's going full on distorted/ faded trumpet in an SF fog and then on the outro he delivers the smoothest prettiest trumpet solo I think I 've ever heard. Yeah the outro sends it over the top for me.
China Cat Sunflower

Carousel Ballroom

Psychedelic cartwheels.
