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.

That peak around the 8:00 mark sure sneaks up on you...WOW! Billy's touches as it winds to a close are extra-sweet on this one as well.

Love how Billy plays through "The Main Ten" between the first two verses. Fantastic, intense jam as others have said. Phil does some awesome stuff!
