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.

Deal

Easttown Theatre

Such an enjoyably great early Deal - nice tempo that cruises along in 4th gear lookin around at the scenery.
Uncle John's Band
Feb. 9, 1973
Roscoe Maples Pavilion - Stanford University

Legendary Roscoe Maples show and this UJB sits with only 6 votes. If you even have just a passing liking for this song take a listen and vote your conscience Jerry's tone and riffs are wonderful by my reckoning.

Springfield Civic Center

So much emotion in that final jam- wow the mournful slide action Is a long ancient predecessor to Jerry’s Midi play. Well worth checking out.

Hey DS I am with you, I love the energy and bite the band had in ‘71. Ps I wouldn’t normally listen to OMSN but a jaw cracker frm ‘71 is worth the time.
