Sugaree

Jai-Alai Fronton

One of the (for me) rare versions of Sugaree that never drags, but keeps building and building with great intensity.

Gorgeous acoustic version in a superb gem of a concert. Jer's voice is perfect, the emotional arc soars. A mini masterpiece.

Wait for it, then run in fear from it. The boys had something ferocious in mind here.

Ramble On Rose

Jerry pours it on. The vocals are some of his most energetic ever.
Greatest Story Ever Told

Bickershaw Festival

A wild ride to open the set. Jerry knocks it out of the park with his tone as metallic and sharp as it ever was. Hot version.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Bickershaw Festival

Very well mixed on the E72 complete set. The sound is just perfect, with every instrument ringing clear. Killer transition here. And the whole first set just rocks from minute one.

Perfect emotional arc to the lyrics, captures the essence of this song.
The Other One
June 18, 1974
Freedom Hall

Can't believe I hadn't already voted for this mega-monster. Very heavy jams and a wild edge-of-madness ride between the extraordinarily virtuoso and the random meltdown so present in the best that '74 has to offer. Sounds like Ned Lagin is sitting in for part of it? I hear wild electronica all over from about 09:00 in.
