The Spectrum

Rare, rootsy and spare reading. The one in '79 when Jer's mic blew had more torque.

Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance

Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

Oof this one sticks with me. The LS>STC>UJB combo is a mood piece. The air is THICK the band is working hard on our behalf to keep our collective shit together - Bobby mushroom whammy work yup!, Jerry furiously riding his pedals while he digs like a dog after a bone check! Brent's got the buzzers and ringy dingys set to stun and the devils power it out in the background (what are they doing back there?) The cave is sweating as the ancient fire burns on the stage -weary but keeping us warm from the encroaching darkness. Are they playing for their lives here with all their energy spent? Sure kinda FEELS like it to me. PS stick around for the best spookiest Spanish Jam with voices and special effects added no charge...

Sound quality is delicious with Bobby harmonics sprinkled everywhere.
