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.

Not only is this version hot, but it's the bust-out too, setting up for all the great Bobby-Donna ones.

Agreed with Ernie5 here, this is a cool little one-off jam, which doesn't seem lost at all. Almost sounds like they were going into something else, but then got into one of the year's best Dancin's.

Dude 420, you are hearing that correctly. It appears the night before too. Check out this cool site on some of the recognisable jams: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2010/01/deads-early-thematic-jams.html

This and the stand alone on two days earlier are just bonkers-good. I love how this one comes way down for tree-skimmingly low-altitude high speed chase.

Weak outro though. This show has some soft spots.
