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.

Hey Grendel - This Bertha kinda grows on ya with more listens I think.... check out the Peggy-o where Jerry is in stronger voice and sounds like much the grizzled veteran instead of the younger messenger of the '70's versions. The emotion in his vocal work is aching here.
