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...

I'll help you out, cgarces! This version is hot, as is the whole show, which is my favourite of '77 as well. I share your praise for 2/13/70 and 5/11/72 as well!

A ferocious entry indeed!

Too bad they didn't try this more often in '74...very beautiful, tender rendition.

Just got the Pacific Northwest '73-'74 box set and threw this on...very nice version.

Slinky indeed. Neat to have Jerry playing the organ part during the verses on this one. One of my favourite Pig raps as well...
