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.

Smokes hot just like you say - hard charging and straight ahead.
Chinatown Shuffle

Academy of Music

Went back to listen to the ending and you are right on with that WRS noodling hahah very cool catch. This whole stand at the Academy is crazy - they could cull and release this run.

Jer's adamant about not wanting this particular DEAL to go down and I've never agreed more but then I always listened to watch JG said.
