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.

Thompson Arena - Dartmouth College

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

Ragged in that good ol' GD way of well shit let's take a shot at this one... sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. Doobie Brent showin' up with Bobby's shroomed out rhythm stylings and Jerry almost pulling the lyrics off makes me smile but then these were "my years" so I'm partial. I had this tape a week later and loved it - so much so I went to the Syracuse show the next year.

After smashing one of the BEST Throwin' Stones you've never heard.
Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again

The Centrum

Still love this version with Bobby channeling Dylan’s vocal delivery and then becoming more and more unhinged as the band blasts away. Go Bobby Go!
