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

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.

Hey Darkstar if you like this one check the 4/20/84 and 4/14/84 Dews and tell me what you think - early 80's doesn't scare you so I think you will dig'em.-- Yeah the 4/20 is aliens and monsters but the 4/14 is completely banannas with the final jam and Weir's cosmic icepick riff in the the train crash ending... Eaton taped it and is now the Bobby slot for DSO .....
