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.

Nice groove to this one. Sometimes it can almost be too chaotic...

What a treat to get this as an opener!

One of the best, I think. Has a trippy quality with Keith on the Rhodes and Phil in a boisterous mood. Great for just melting into your chair...

I know it's easy for one version to bleed into the next, but this is a good one.
