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.

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.

This Dew rightly closes the show because there is NOTHING that can follow it. Wow - it's that epic and the above comments are all on the mark .

The first one is always special - Jerry is firing splinters into my face.
Wharf Rat

Arrowhead Stadium

Builds a nice head of steam with Jer getting righteously raucous.
Promised Land
April 6, 1982
The Spectrum

After a ripping CRS they keep the energy high and kick you in the shorts with this one. HOT.
Dark Star

Family Dog at the Great Highway

Must listen DS material here - if heard would make it's way up the list.
