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.

Less than half the length of the other three on this run, but still great!

They really accelerate out of the Willam Tell bridge on this one!

Jerry's vocal delivery is really superb on this one.

Takes on a taunting tone at this tempo...could freak you out in a certain state.

Might just be my favourite I've heard so far -- spectacular. Jerry's vocals are gorgeous, and the dynamic swells are grand, yet smooth.
