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.

This sure has the sizzle!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 19, 1984
Philadelphia Civic Center

I had myself a jazz cigarette and listened to this pair tonight on a 300 watt pioneer receiver with Marantz Imperial 7's in a barn in Bumfuck Maine at volume = 11. Jer whips out the cosmic banjo jams on the transition and then ends the Rider strumming away with his metal ice scrapper - crispy play indeed, thanks for the agreement. Miller time.

Brent sort of drowns him out on the backup vocal but the feeling is THERE! :)
