This should be on here if not for any other reason than Jerry doesn't F up the spacey chords after any of the choruses. WOO HOO!!!! :)

Definitely a sleeper gem. Just exactly perfect. Vocals, groove, execution... They all come together here!

So damn funky; killer groove. I'm a stickler for vocals, and Bob sings this one beautifully. High energy '77 version.

St. Paul Civic Center Arena

5/11/77 > 5/8/77 IMHO. Execution is near-perfect. If you like Cornell, check this one out from only three days later and compare.

Oklahoma City Fairgrounds Arena

Cliche to say "I can't believe this isn't on here," but I'm sayin' it! It's perfectly and beautifully executed. The definitive '73 version.

Seriously though, this is an all-around solid, high-energy version. Check it out.

GREAT jam! I think this is a Road Trips...? One of my favorites for sure.

my favorite Sugaree. Very relaxed and delicate at times- patience definitely pays off in this version.
