McNichols Arena

Getting back to the Sugaree: fine, elastic soarage with a '77 head-of-steam and controlled out-of-controlness.

I return to this one a lot. As the big wave swells during that second instrumental, Jerry's and Bob's airy dancing on the crest is what it's all about.

Kicked it up a notch... glad to have gotten to know this version better.
Playin' In The Band

Rheinhalle

Always great to blast this one – an excellent, frenzied installment from the intense period in the evolution of this song. I am now sufficiently Dusseldorfed, even Rheinhalled, and can therefore carry on with my day.
Viola Lee Blues
July 3, 1966
Fillmore Auditorium

Yup. +1'd it way back when. Longtime favorite. Well executed. Jugband meets pyschedelia.
