Brown Eyed Women

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.

Just came across this disc from an old friend who has moved on... rarely listen to anything after '90....but this version sticks with me. +1
Playin' In The Band

The Spectrum

They grip this and rip it until there's nothing left.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
May 4, 1981
The Spectrum

Jer takes what appears to be a laid back approach here and then throws CRAZY fills all over the this one - sheesh - have never heard one like this ... can't tell if he carved a fatty at the break or just was in a good mood... the S+D that follows is toxic so maybe it was the powder.
Samson and Delilah
May 4, 1981
The Spectrum

The whole gang is torqued up for this one - Fuego.
Eyes Of The World
Feb. 9, 1973
Roscoe Maples Pavilion - Stanford University

Oh so fine for the first time played and easily one of the top 10 versions ever.
