Phildown St. opener in the ginormo dome at Syrabuse. Phil makes this one groovy.

Gold Here. SUBLIME - this is where all the soft touches come together. Bob is especially deft with the underlying patterns. Phil is perfect.

I'm a sucker for China Dolls - this one has Jerry delivering very dreamy vocals on this one.

Lots of soldering and welding WEIRdness here - different and far out from the usual style.

Hey Crow this one is tight right? Let me know what you think of the 3/23/72 - I think it might be the perfect one...I love some of the later shark attack JS's in the late 70's and speedy early 80's but damn if '72 really wasn't THE year for Jacks.

Very,very good like this one alot - the outro intro into the TOO is spectacular - also like 11/22/72 - check that one out and tell me what you think. Right now that one's my favorite.

This is the Thomas' English muffin version right here - so many damn nooks and crannies - love them all. Just letting it go and getting weird in the best way. Take the ride and see. You're going to need a rest after this one...
