2 Drummer breakbeat attack with Phil throwing down the rope a dope and Jer firing darts - this one's lively.

Mexicali Blues
April 6, 1982
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.

Yowzer - the intensity of the ending cacophony is mesemerizing.. very cool.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Nov. 14, 1971
Texas Christian University

This Rider is completely awesome PHIL all over the vocal in a great way Bobby layin off the mic (trouble?) but man the mix shows off his superfine riddim playing and Jerry in fine fettle.
Standing On The Moon

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

sort of creaky upfront but the outro work hits beastmode.
Wharf Rat

Felt Forum, Madison Square Garden

That's a big 10-4 CC.
The Other One
Dec. 4, 1971
Felt Forum, Madison Square Garden

This TOO is the band's expression of string theory from what I gather.... Jaw dropping is an understatement and I think this is the most KICK ASS Mezcali I have heard yet.....Sheesh - careful with this sammie. Deserves way more listens which must result in way more votes imo.
