Spartan Stadium - San Jose State University

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

Mexicali Blues
April 6, 1982
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.

Pretty Peggy O

Check the Dusborne/matrix for this whole show.
China Cat Sunflower

The Music Box

check the Komar/Miller - blazing jams from 3:30 on.... fuego.
Me and Bobby McGee
Nov. 15, 1971
The Austin Municipal Auditorium

This really hits the sweet spot for me on the solo when Jer comes out of the distant fog and he and Bobby lock in - BDubs rhythm playing is super here. Whole take is a different flavor than many others I have heard great find.
