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...

Wow...one of my favourites now!
Ramble On Rose

Very fluid and smooth as opposed to the usual clang and bounce. Haven't been this captivated by a 'Rose' in quite some time...

Really moves like a single organism. Bobby's vocals are heartbreaking.
Here Comes Sunshine

"Stunning" is the word indeed, Cuse. What a show of confidence to open with a pretty complex song like this, and they nail it!
Truckin'

Psychedelic jazz cowboys indeed! This whole box set is awesome.
