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.

Playfully different melody here really cool Jer is sporting very catchy phrasing - mid tempo no hurry super chill with highlights.

Truckin'

I agree Crow - Truckin' has been phoned in by the band more than a few times but when its on itz ON and this one has some nice muscle to it - check out 5/13/78 for some different blues jammin' - would like to hear your comment on that.
