Here Comes Sunshine

Captures all that's great about this song. Uplifting, joyful, smile-inducing. Can't believe this one's not here yet.

Supreme version: Fast, precise and galloping. Great harmonies with Jer singing backup.

Propulsive and moody. Melodic developments developed over 20 minutes of energetic jamming. Billy and Phil are driving throughout.

Expansive, exploritory, and spaced out in places, a nice ride and another great from Spring '73.

The H>S transition is just exactly perfect, as Bobby announces before they tear into it. Tight, pristine musicality here, complete with that mind-bending buzz saw tone an some form-bending riffing before knotting us backwards into the Franklin's. Top five for me definitely.

Jerry rides a tsunami wave across this one. The solo is shredding, and listen to Phil. Jer might be the wave, but Phil's the water.

Fillmore West

Very special long jam before bringing Pig back in. Not a vocal version - no rap - but worth it for the jam. Do any heads out there know whether this jam has a name? I recall hearing similar themes elsewhere, though can't totally recall where right now.

Grindingly out of tune. Rough. No vote.
The Other One

Fillmore West

Very heavy explosive jam, in spite of or above and over the kooky chanting. Leads into a "The Main Ten" jam that just blows me away.
