Sugaree
All the all-time Sugarees from early 77 start here folks, and they're already sublime. Keith shines.

Playin' In The Band
Spacey and crazy Playin in the Band gets real wierd fast before dissolving into absolute space
7
Row Jimmy
I am well aware that the cliche, "I can't believe this version hasn't been mentioned yet!!" is well played out...But
9
The Music Never Stopped
Airtight version with perfect orchestration. Especially sweet vocals with Donna Jean at her best. Never quite lifts off in the jam though.
9
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
I suppose everyone knows the one the night before, but this one is tighter & more overwhelming in that all-encompassing 7/4 mindmelt way.
19
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
So many brilliant ones, but you're missing a real treat if you count this one out. Particularly strong Franklin's but the Slipknot! is brilliant too.
5
Big River
Super up tempo and thoroughly rocking Big River, can't even believe it hasn't been posted yet. CHECK THIS SHOW!!!
6
Samson and Delilah
Phil’s and Jerry’s sixteenth-note runs light up this version with a country-blues twang faintly reminiscent of Cumberland.

Might As Well
How is this not listed?! I realize all the June 76 versions were great but this is mind-blowing!
