Excellent version. Bobby brings it for the finale and the whole band thunders behind him on target throughout.

Folks, you need to hear this one. It's absolutely gorgeous. Great interplay between Jerry and Vince on the solos and the whole version oozes soul.

The first thirty seconds with Airto Moreira are blood curdling. Terrifying, trippy stuff. Handle with care.

The passage where Jerry dips into his lower register for the "This darkness..." refrain...chills.

Excellent version with great energy and the split is a nice touch! They were inspired this evening.

I'm the biggest Alpine '89 fan but I forgot how fucking great this "Sugaree" is. Jerry's solo before the "pouring rain" verse is an absolute monster. I'd put it up there with the 1977 Goliaths, but I'll probably listen to another one from 1974 or 1982 or whenever and say the same thing. The beauty of the band.

This should be higher, roars at top speed.

First version I ever heard. Loved it from the get-go.
