Holy Phil! This one has some serious muscle behind it, courtesy of Mr. Lesh's thumping bass. The solos ain't bad either!

Explosive, propulsive, a juggernaut of barrelhouse piano and tasty Garcia licks. Just what a Sugar Mags should be.

Just the third performance, and it's an A+ banger of a country twanger. I wish they'd kept this song in the rotation.

Has that great chugging rhythm of '71 versions. Keith (per usual) is a huge factor, but Billy's drumming is just as potent here. Awesome version!

Keith made all the difference turning this into a barrelhouse powerhouse. What a tremendous performance of a fun song.

Tom Constanten is a HUGE factor in this excellent version.

Keith and Jerry go NUTS. Best-ever, in my book.

Brent blowing minds with his solo. An awesome version from an awesome show.

Wembley Empire Pool

This one is AMAZING - off the rails in its energy level. The band explodes in the kind of fury that makes tracks like this special.

The best ever, in my opinion. It absolutely scorches. Jerry's soloing is manic, but don't count out Brent's keys - they're just as responsible for how epic this one is.
