Intriguing Set 2 opener "Scarlet -> Sugar." Nice MIDI at the end.

This one shines from my favorite Hornsby show.

Man was 1990 a good year for this song. Terrific version, great solo, nice ragtime-y work from Bruce. Just exactly perfect.

Listened to this show because it was played the day I was born. A great Hornsby era version.

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

Richfield Coliseum

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.
