Very crisp, smooth version. Crack open a cold one and tap your toes to this one.

Love this one. Spunky Jerry with a quirky, inventive solo and nice playing from Bruce as well.

As this show's biggest fan, I'm aghast I didn't post this lovely version. Jerry at his most charming. Bruce is in damn good form as well.

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.
