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.

Love this song and this is a great take. Checkout Hef interviewing Jerry too - classic.
They Love Each Other
Feb. 9, 1973
Roscoe Maples Pavilion - Stanford University

Driving home after a trip down memory lane with WEEN - this version came on and it felt oddly appropriate after the show. Anyway it bops rocks and rolls so fine.
Jack Straw

Meadowlands Arena

The band is one giant percussion grenade and Jerry is the pin... killer.
