2 Drummer breakbeat attack with Phil throwing down the rope a dope and Jer firing darts - this one's lively.

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.

Thompson Arena - Dartmouth College

Playfully different melody here really cool Jer is sporting very catchy phrasing - mid tempo no hurry super chill with highlights.

Solid take with nice Jerry backup howls while Bobby yodels.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Somebody please listen to this combo and confirm to me that I am crazy - the CC is super sweet but the IKYR shows what a sneaky fast picking MOFO JG really could be - blows my mind. Whole recording is warm and full.

Check out the whole show - some real jems at this one worth spending time on IMO. Jerry was fully engaged to my ears and the band was locked in. Space will blow your mind if you're not careful too!

Jerry goes on multiple cosmic banjo styled jams during this CC transition.

That's a 10-4 Gman. Hey Darkstar and G check the 7/14/85 ignore the year and tell me what you think - every time I hear it love it more.
