Brent's touch's are perfect. Jer wakes up and carves some mean bolts before the end verse.

Jer's thoughtful and determined picking with nice tone. Bob's slide in check with nice harmonics. Jer throws hot sauce on short outro.

The CA Earthquake is just massive and only played twice I think - would nominate it in a heartbeat. Closed the 1st set and then they come out to party with a Hey Pocky. Watch Jerry tell a little story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zkbm0uEU2w

The beat down starts at 3:10 and does not let up until the band pounds the audience into dust.

RD's are locked down tight, Phil is strapped and Jerry's got an extra clip - they crush this one and then throw in a sweet AWBYGN cherry.. yes please. While not 71-72 this is premo for 80's.
