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

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

Definitely an epic jam with a sick-ass Truckin'. Underrated show too.

Dane County Coliseum

One of my favorite versions ever. It's so good, I don't even mind the turkey gobble sounding tape "effects".

A wonderful lilting beauty of a Bird Song. A favorite.

WOW!! Effing siiiick buildup in this jam!!!! A must hear. Segues into a sweet NBFBM with some cool Other One-ish type riffs/teases too.
