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...

Takes on a taunting tone at this tempo...could freak you out in a certain state.

Might just be my favourite I've heard so far -- spectacular. Jerry's vocals are gorgeous, and the dynamic swells are grand, yet smooth.

One of the better ones I've heard...jubilant!
