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.

The Spectrum

Beautiful delivery of this 3 headed monster. Deserves listens and consideration - multiple jam filled interludes. The Spectrum was rockin'.Whole show rips with energy and I also feel this Shakedown is a hidden gem that is better than the oft cited '82 from this venue. Check the whole gig out!
Shakedown Street

Big River

Jer breaks out the rusty banjo and cranks the living shit out of it - legit is right.
Dark Star
Feb. 13, 1970
Fillmore East

Inspired playing in mind meld mode - the Feeling Groovy jam sends this over the top and gets triumphant my, my it's been 20 years since I've heard this. WOW - is right.
