Sugaree
May 22, 1977
The Sportatorium
A masterful Sugaree, truly. Keith makes it sparkle. Garcia makes it shine. Donna makes it sweet. Bob keeps it inspired. One of those tunes that was good throughout most of their years, but it really reached a major peak in '77. My very favorite part of Sugarees that particular, though, is where it all culminates at the very end jam with the "shake it, shake it", with Garcia absolutely riding that Bean and the whole band chiming in with glorious vox. Donna & Garcia's combined vocal power shines so spectacularly there.
