Cool Sugar Mag>Scarlet Begonias>SSDD sammy. Is this the only one like it? The SSDD kicks ass.

I won't say best, but there's a very cool Hawaiian vibe with Jerry and Bobby backing Keith's solo around the fifth minute.

Swaggering gospel here, with all the muscle and might befitting the song. Bobby's having a blast.

Jam starts to bubble and boil and rolls on with great creative force. Very cool '76 sound, and a great mix with Bobby and Phil interaction on display

Really short, but very tight. Jerry ends with a cascading riff that sounds like spotaneous composition. Anyone know if they played this jam again?

The Other One

Brilliant version. There's a unique space around minute 13:00 where Jerry is almost alone in the darkness, tweaking and reaching out, followed by whooshing zooms that can give you flashbacks forty-five-odd (very odd) years later, not to mention the under-water sea adventure that it leads into before a great meltdown for the ages. This is the goods, heads.

Could be the mix or the levels, but I am digging Phil's precise, technically flawless playing here. His subtlety and finesse are too easily overlooked. Reminds me of why I always aimed for the Phil zone whenever I could.

Classically under-rated song. Listen to Jerry's continuous percolating cantina gingerbread like a pot of boiling beans, while Phil gives a perfect master-class. Great version.
Greatest Story Ever Told

One of those moments where the band just explodes with the pure joy of playing wonderful music together. Jerry just launches Stephen like a trebuchet.

Jbrucer: Hope you found the archive more to your liking. I know I did. "Ripping" is the right word for this UJB. Sounds like they didn't want to stop playing and just got warm.
