Once this gets warmed up Phil's flipflop picking, Jer's firing up the neck, Bob's screamin' like a chick and Brent's hopping on his B3.

Ack! this is tight not quite as crazoid as my favorite 4/19/84.. but very similar. Same year so makes sense.

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.

Jerry singing Dylan - ain't nothin better...'cept maybe the Indy 500.
