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.

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

Crunchy, cranky NFA here and it sure does make a nice samwitch.

Love this whole show got the board after it and it was gold - right before hitting the Philly CC stand. The Touch, Terrapin and Dew are complete monsters -- actually all the tunes are stellar.

This is the sweetest and most tasteful riffing I have heard Jer deliver on this tune. Bobby is accenting beautifully with his harmonic rhythm work and the interplay from Brent at the end is just freaking lovely... thanks for posting this I think it's a gem.

Deserves more than 6 so lets make it 7. No doubt a gorgeous intro.
