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.

Grendel, you don't fail to deliver the goods when you make your suggestions and comments.That being said I agree this smokes and as a fan of 69 blues breaker Dews, I have to say '84 was strong with dirty Dews. I also had the chance to see them live (whereas I was 2 in '69 so that did not occur). Would like to hear your comments on 4/14/84 + 4/20/84, the Spring tour had some real treats.
