Hot and sweaty sounding mix with a bit of a slow burn from Jerry - not crazy with the macho but cool.

The Spectrum

Beautiful delivery of this 3 headed monster. Deserves listens and consideration - multiple jam filled interludes. The Spectrum was rockin'.Whole show rips with energy and I also feel this Shakedown is a hidden gem that is better than the oft cited '82 from this venue. Check the whole gig out!

Jer breaks out the rusty banjo and cranks the living shit out of it - legit is right.
Dark Star

Fillmore East

Inspired playing in mind meld mode - the Feeling Groovy jam sends this over the top and gets triumphant my, my it's been 20 years since I've heard this. WOW - is right.
