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.

Great, spiralling slo-motion groove to this one. This show is climbing my ranks very quickly!

One of the best they'd played to this point, I'd say...

I think this could be my new favourite. I dare say a "perfect" version...

This one is dreamy indeed. Was listening last night as I watched the season's first snowfall out my window and it was magical.
