Dark with stanky Jerry riffs over Bobby whammy work. Right in my wheelhouse but might not be everyone’s cup of tea.

Whole band flexes their muscles on this one - press play and watch the room spin.

Touch of Grey

Hey Greenie - shaggy is right - but endearing too. Check 4/14/84 it's spikey instead of shaggy and almost goes off the rails but doesn't - I love it.

Correction on the date of a previous post (s) - 12/17 vs 12/23 - after a very unscientific study I swapped'em over to the 17th date. Highly urge anyone with a taste for '70 to check out this stellar short set of a crystal recording. I love this crunchy year.

If this were only heard - it would surely shoot up to top 10 status - outstanding with Jerry vocal reverb bonus.

Ridiculousness - Hear Jer finagle the Mtn jam in here - f'n unreal.

Must be heard - totally Dark Star-esque per the above comment without the speed of other versions but totally sweet bends and phrasing. A real treat.
