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!

Endless 13 minute intro jam, the longest yet. Sublime DS jamming.

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

Wonderful version, the best June '74 Eyes IMO. The proto-Slipknot that develops out of the post song jam is especially wicked, but the entire performance of the song is truly special in every way.

One of Phil's finest moments, he just won't quit soloing. You can tell Jerry is trying to come in with the minor jam and Phil just shuts him down!
