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

Stockton Civic Auditorium

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.

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Man I love this 'silky' version. Jerry plays about 50% less notes than your typical CRS. Que this one up and melt away in your chair.

Most up-tempo CRS of the year. Jerry means business during the outro!

Bruce/Vinny/Bobby really get at this one! The Row Jimmy, TLEO, UJB and BTW also shine on this night
