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 know it's easy for one version to bleed into the next, but this is a good one.

Great, spiralling slo-motion groove to this one. This show is climbing my ranks very quickly!
Brown Eyed Women

One of the best they'd played to this point, I'd say...
The Race Is On

Music Hall

I think this could be my new favourite. I dare say a "perfect" version...

Keith's solo is fantastic here!
