Billy's doing some interesting stuff on the drums here! And excellent solo from Jer! Vocals too!

74 versions really captured the western tone well. Short and sweet.

Jerry calls for Bertha then proceed to royally flub the lyrics LOL. Solid bouncy version though.

Phil and Brent really escalate the dance party factor of this tune in later years. Great performance this night. Just sheer fun. Comes to awk end.

Have cried plenty of times with this one, specially the first few times I heard it. Jerry is a little bit off with the slide as mentioned previously. The band isn't backing Brent's vocals up like they normally do also. But there is plenty that Brent is giving us that makes up for it for it for me. He fills that space beautifully.

Groovy as fuck :D Phil and the rhythm devils are coming through just handsomely, Brent's energy is through the roof, and Garcia follows their lead with vox and solos that are on point. Perhaps best one, perhaps not. Who cares, its a real fun Aiko. The footage of this really makes it special.

The SSDD is good fun, or as Bobby calls it here “sweetshine daydream.” Then he starts growling it at you. Ends as awkward and sloppily as just about most late Sugar Mags do.
