I believe this is the first ever Tighten Up jam - Phil and Bob intiate it when Jer breaks a string. Beautiful.

Really unique Star. Some unusual themes explored, including The Other One and Lovelight!

OMG! Most intense Sugar Mag jam ever! Jerry WILL NOT QUIT. Vocal entrance is real sloppy, but it hardly matters - you MUST hear this!!!

I agree this smokes 6/21/80...definitely the VERY BEST '80s rendition I have heard. Jerry is totally unstoppable, each instrumental break hits a higher peak than the last.

This Other One is legend. Just a brutal psychedelic attack from start to finish....one of the very best ever!
