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.

Dare I say the best CR&S you've never heard before?! Keith! So very fine and would like to hear what others think. PS. I love every era of this tune so note to the wise... If you got one that you think is a sleeper please respond with it. Have a Merry Jerry Christmas and Happy New Weir :)

Cameron Indoor Stadium

Phil is all animated during this - Jerry looks zonked out while singing at one point but they slam it into GEAR following the 1st jam - the windmilling is hysterical and the stick toss is gold medal worthy. Check the vid and see they were clearly having a fun - messy version but worthy of a bump for the laughs. Tks for tip well worth watching.

Hartford Civic Center

Tight full sound with DJ in check and Bobby slide is tasteful.

Thanks Darkstar! I find the outro to be downright amazing too and I think it has a lot of great Bobby work on it - sittin round the cabin stove styled pickin to me.
