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.

Aces! This groovy tempo is the one I wished they stuck with through the years. Keith's keywork makes it special and Bobby's got some ska styling happening in spots - then they punch it out at the end.

Reno Centennial Coliseum

sweet find on this really like the tinkering lead in but lacks the Phil bomb up front which sounds dropped out in the mix.
