Really great solo from Jerry — fast, banjo-style picking

Starts with some Buddy Rich-style hi-hat play…sounds like he’s doing that thing Buddy would do playing the bottom hat with his left hand fingers!

Billy is pretty aggressive, as he is this whole show, and Jerry's soloing is hot...

Flowing straight out of a fantastic 'Half-Step,' this is a goon one. It's between '71 and '72 for the best year for 'Sugar Mags' IMO...

Jerry's solo has a bit of a '73 feel on this one...that liquid, mellow intensity.

Ramble On Rose

Very fluid and smooth as opposed to the usual clang and bounce. Haven't been this captivated by a 'Rose' in quite some time...

Really moves like a single organism. Bobby's vocals are heartbreaking.

"Stunning" is the word indeed, Cuse. What a show of confidence to open with a pretty complex song like this, and they nail it!
Truckin'

Psychedelic jazz cowboys indeed! This whole box set is awesome.
Promised Land

Keith is ridiculous on this one -- the whole Promised Land > Bertha > GSET hat trick actually!
