A fiesty Sugar Mags...with HORNS?!? The band is firing on all cylinders for this one. The September '73 horns tour is so so so underrated

You Ain't Woman Enough To Take My Man
April 2, 1973
Boston Garden

Really tight version, both vocally and instrumentally. Jerry’s leads are sweeeet and straight outta Nashville
Not Fade Away
Dec. 31, 1990
Coliseum Arena

The boys were listening to each other this night. Bobby and Jerry trading licks with each other, Phil bumping out a solo

Loose Lucy
Feb. 15, 1973
Dane County Coliseum
