Billy is pretty aggressive, as he is this whole show, and Jerry's soloing is hot...

Flowing straight out of a fantastic 'Half-Step,' this is a goon one. It's between '71 and '72 for the best year for 'Sugar Mags' IMO...

Jerry's solo has a bit of a '73 feel on this one...that liquid, mellow intensity.

Tight, well-sung and really buzzing with energy. Keith has some great flourishes.

Hilarious intro as Bob and Jerry come in out of time with Phil. Hot one once they get going -- especially Billy, who's really 'on' at this show...

Not a very good one vocally. The jams are good though, and Bob in particular is on fire -- unique and adventurous rhythm playing throughout.

What a gorgeous slide solo from Jerry -- perfectly phrased!

Wow, one of the best closing jams I've yet heard in a Jed!

Very banjo-like solo from Jerry. Cool version with some very spacious playing from Jerry during SSDD.

Just hearing this for the first time -- WOW! Fast and energetic, sure, but it's also heavier than most Eyes...this one has some bite!
