Bobby seems to be so on this night. Everybody seems to be taking his lead so far.

Incredible duel between Jerry and Brent Jams! There is nothing in this world like that Hammond organ mixed with Jerry's MIDI

Jerry takes an energetic Scarlet into a mellow jazzy outro into a smooth transition into Fire then Phil starts raising the energy and the Fire grows..

Incredible mellow start that just ramps up throughout the song. Phil is definitely leading this march.

There are certain songs that are enhanced by the aging in Jerry's voice. This is definitely one of them. It really sounds like a down on his luck man coming from a sad place but still hoping for one last break of luck. And Jerry's interaction with Brent on this Version is amazing.

Of all the split versions of Sugar Mag/Sunshine, this one has to be the best. Awesome energy on the Sugar Mag side. Brent's key work is phenomenal!

Greek Theatre, U. Of California

An absolutely great version! An encore to a killer show and during a lunar eclipse! What more do you want? And Jerry's voice sounding older and raspier gives it a different feel than the late 60's, early 70's versions. Not only that but over 15 minutes as an encore!? This version is just amazing on many levels.

And Brent is absolutely killing it. That triple key swipe after the "walk around" line will always bring me back to this version.
