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.

Not Fade Away

Needs more votes - rockin, raw, piercing and urgent THIS is the NFA. Plus Bobby survives an aneurysm on the reprise. DS>SS>NFA>GDTRFB>NFA - this string is mental.
