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.

I am digging the tone and action of what must be an SG Jer's strapped on. Nice one.

Community War Memorial Auditorium

Yeah I like this TOO Grendel - and must admit I love '84 since I was knee deep into the scene after starting to see shows in '82... check 4/24/84 for a very similar one and the short diamond studded gem of 4/6/82 - the TOO > Dew is stellar...BTW 4/20/84 goes down as one of my all-time shows...

Greek Theatre, U. Of California

Do yourself a favor and you use the phones - soundboard hijinks with Jerry's vocal switching channels. Salty solo.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo

Berkeley Community Theater

Thanks for the nod Crow - Goddamn if this outro isn't special check that rolling RioGrandeooo.... they waste no time getting to it.... but once there the outro rolls and rolls rolls. Keith's touches are delicate and lovely throughout while Jerry cooks it loooooong and slooooooow.
