Hot damn - Jer shoots out the lights with a steamy heady jam then the SSDD to close is it out is perfection. Deserves a listen.

Sweet Box where they keep the tempo rolling -Phil's vox in fine form and Jer throws out all the right accents. DJ sounds nice cooing in as well.

Ack! this is tight not quite as crazoid as my favorite 4/19/84.. but very similar. Same year so makes sense.

The Spectrum

The CA Earthquake is just massive and only played twice I think - would nominate it in a heartbeat. Closed the 1st set and then they come out to party with a Hey Pocky. Watch Jerry tell a little story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zkbm0uEU2w
Cryptical Envelopment

Robertson Gym, U.C.S.B.

The beat down starts at 3:10 and does not let up until the band pounds the audience into dust.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

The Spectrum

RD's are locked down tight, Phil is strapped and Jerry's got an extra clip - they crush this one and then throw in a sweet AWBYGN cherry.. yes please. While not 71-72 this is premo for 80's.
She Belongs To Me

Community War Memorial Auditorium

Jerry singing Dylan - ain't nothin better...'cept maybe the Indy 500.
