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!!!

I'd be remiss not to add that Jerry even briefly breaks into the Mind Left Body jam, no joke!
