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!!!

Some really sweet, one-of-a-kind exploration in this one...possibly my favorite version of 1974.

This version stumbles and mumbles its way to a start, but ends up being a real heater!
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

Dane County Coliseum

Definitely one hot version!
Stella Blue

Thompson Arena - Dartmouth College

Whoa. This version has one of the most powerful outros I've ever heard. Just might be my new favorite version!!!
