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.

Just voted up the Might as Well from the this night - had both tapes back in the day from this famous 2 night stand - Phil is hotsteppin' thru this Help - the whole combo should be waaaaay higher than 3 - big energy here.
Might As Well

Madison Square Garden

This one's flat out bitchin'. JG goes full mutant belting it out and ripping the solo plus Brent is bangin' keys like a mofo. HOT recording for phones. Should find it's way up the board.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Madison Square Garden

Fluid fretwork by JG throughout but when DJ does her hiccuping in the bridge her canning was foretold.
