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.

Thompson Arena - Dartmouth College

Playfully different melody here really cool Jer is sporting very catchy phrasing - mid tempo no hurry super chill with highlights.

He's Gone
Sept. 27, 1972
Stanley Theatre

Cuds - Tried to find this...and failed (not on Archive and only on DP maybe?) Not always drawn to this song to listen to but always loved it at a show I dunno why - anyway I think I found my favorite and it's 11/22/72 check it and tell me what you think? The outro pickin and grooving really appeals to me. Gonna dig thru some of these at the top of the heap - and if they are like that one i know I will dig'em.
Touch of Grey

Frost Amphitheatre

Aced this one.
The Other One
Nov. 17, 1971
Albuquerque Civic Auditorium

This is killer thru my phones and Keith's saturated sound adds another level of pysche goo - Phil goes Woolly Mammoth here and there and that Feelin Groovy at (8:10) is as always a bonus... criminal this is so low but the qual is not for the picky - 11/14 is a Monster too...a miraculous mystery sbd would be a solid!

Texas Christian University

haha just did the same thing gdrftb did... bust some serious heads here and then go thru their dizzy spell to drive into MAMU - iz very nice.... Holy Shitaree Phil sits out for a bit and that Wyndham Hill harmonic jam is gorgeous at 3:10 to 5:00 then they all come together.. for the art of noise section then the final jam - this runs the gamut folks.
