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...

Sugar Magnolia

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.

Feelin' Groovy Jam

Olympia Theater

cgarces, like you, I have this phenomenal show second only to Rotterdam for the tour, and both of them trailing only 2/13/70 overall...
Drums

I like to view these little drum breaks within an epic DS or TOO as a pit stop to repair the spaceship along the journey...
Big Railroad Blues
May 4, 1972
Olympia Theater

Another tune that really benefits from Pig's organ IMO
He's Gone
May 4, 1972
Olympia Theater

One of the most graceful glides to the finish...beautiful.
Brown Eyed Women

Olympia Theater

This might be my favourite version. This is one of those songs that doesn't need to be jammed out IMO...the songwriting is good enough to stand on its own.
