Brown Eyed Women

2 Drummer breakbeat attack with Phil throwing down the rope a dope and Jer firing darts - this one's lively.

Mexicali Blues
April 6, 1982
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.

ACK!!!! This freaking delicous - Capt Double Dose is playing his jams on the 7th ring of Saturn - defo melted brains at the 4:00 mark and beyond....then the verse Well I woke this morning and my head was not intact.. whoah....this groove is ominous in the best of ways....once heard your vote cannot be denied +1 and hopefully many more. The return into and jam out of CE is NOT TO BE MISSED - Yowzer!

Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo

Community War Memorial Auditorium

Very true Grendel I think we all have an attachment /bias to shows - in my case 4/14/84 landed in my hands like kryptonite with the bonus of being taped by Eaton who now fronts DSO. Also what later became Ladies and Gents was the powerful and just mysterious FIllmore April 71 tape. Anyway -I will never forget hearing Englishtown's 1/2 Step for the first time which blew me away with Jerry's BRIO - that one opened my eyes big time- I'm gonna check out these other ones...this board's got some life to it - thanks Darkstar + Catalonia + CGarces + Grendel...
