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

Mexicali Blues

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 band's the hammer and the audience is the nail...

Catholic Youth Center

With a crispy clean Darkness groove they lock into strongly at 14:10.
Not Fade Away
Nov. 2, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

Now for something completely different - Hell to the yeah - wowzer - warm up the headphones for this one - great, great call - and why I check out this board - all the hitters checked in I see. I swear I heard this intro jam one year at the Maple Leaf during Jazz Fest late show - FAHNKY - mas oui!
Not Fade Away
April 28, 1971
Fillmore East

Hey DarkStar Live a little - take in the whole string starting with Dark Star...I had this tape in the '80's - said Fillmore '71 so when L&G was released I got to hear a ton that did not fit on a Maxell 90. Love this year for the energy.
