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.

Cryptical Envelopment

Robertson Gym, U.C.S.B.

GTFO MASSIVE - Jerry CRACKS THE SKY and then stomps on the pieces -this is exhausting....the cut is ghastly but wtf. check the murder records for a mass killing on this date or 5/11 that'll solve it.

This feels like barely surviving a massive swordfight - the band just attacked the audience - holy shit. ps not sure if this 5/11 I listened to both and they are the same show... whatever check it out and protect yourself.
