Jerry's tone this night sounds like a howling elephant, translating into excellent rocker of a Sugar Mags

Pretty standard for the era (77-78) but IMO it still crushes any version from the 80s

During the jam Jerry cycles between power chords and sick noodling, it's played so well they played it again their next show.

One of Bobby's best. Love how Jerry changes it up - minimal noodling here, he and Ace trade off killer rhythm riffs. Vocals have never sounded so sweet!
