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.

Playfully different melody here really cool Jer is sporting very catchy phrasing - mid tempo no hurry super chill with highlights.

Madison Square Garden

Love this one, have not heard for it ages. Bobby doing cool harmonics / rhythms throughout, they hit that crinkly place and then Jer's back in focus - Phil and Brent wonderfully on point. Check the 4/19/84 for another sweet one from this era.
